Using nukes, it is possible to subject a city to multiple groundbursts
resulting in at least 100 PSI overpressure throughout a large area.
Bomb shelters that are conspicuous enough to be detected by
reconnaissance flights can be targeted for a direct hit.





I presume you have noticed the
average accuracy of WWII bombers dropping from 30,000 feet.
I presume all the aircraft release together and achieve a perfect
bombing pattern, with no weapon caught in the blast of another
before it detonates.


The bombers could release together, or they could fly in one bomb
every few minutes. It would work either way.



Before assuming that you can salvo nuclear weapons, or drop them in
formation, read up a bit on the "dense pack" model of ICBM basing. Also
consider the winds after the first burst.
