I think these things are being developed to counter the threat of N Korea, where we may need to strike comprehensively to eliminate any retaliation upon Seoul.
I find it disheartening that Nukes have gained such a reputation as a weapon of last resort. I see no reason to risk our air crews numerous times, when one of these can achieve the objective.
A weapon of mass destruction is very relative, if you are in the way, it will definitely be mass destruction.
