It has a 2 megaton warhead but if needed can be estended to 200, this is what the Russian expert Said.

Larger ones will need to be custom ordered but they won't be doing that until they fully test and introduce the whole system first

It is forbidden to use methods or means of warfare that are intended to cause or, as might be expected, cause extensive, long-term and serious damage to the natural environment. "
