The first test of a fusion (hydrogen) bomb required tons of equipment and supplies just to test several theories.
There would be no way to package all of that into an air-deliverable bomb, or mashed up into the nosecone of a missile.
Once the theories were proven, or failed, improvements were made and miniaturization, that then allowed the hydrogen bomb to be deliverable.
The first hydrogen bomb "Ivy Mike" was tested in 1952.
The hydrogen bomb was first successfully tested in 1952 by the United States.
The first atomic bomb was made in 1945, the first hydrogen bomb was made in 1952.
The first successful hydrogen bomb was detonated (not launched or dropped--it was a 62-ton fixed structure) on November 1, 1952.
The hydrogen bomb was invented by a team of American scientists led by Edward Teller. The first successful test of the hydrogen bomb was conducted by the United States in 1952.
ENIAC was first used in calculations for the hydrogen bomb
