As a matter of interest, what kind of target could be destroyed by a 200 KT bomb as opposed to a 10 KT one?

How large a bomb would you need for a typical military airfield for example?

You might find this declassified paper with target maps from TNA Kew to be useful. It doesn't inspire confidence in our intel, but neither did Iraqi WMDs.
