In your opinion what are the best boom-booms of NATO, short of nuclear devices?
AGM-158 JASSM's with CHAMP packages. Stealth cruise missiles with anti-electronics packages. Would bring down the bloodshed significantly while disabling enemy communications, launchers, radar installations, etc. These can be fired by F-16s.

Known or suspected/hypothetical?
You gotta imagine the US has at least one or two publicly unknown weapon types socked away for a rainy day. At the outside, perhaps something crazy in the vein of Rods from God.
the u.s. does not export 'everything' (even when excluding nuclear devices) in its arsenal.
You know that’s right.
A single raptor would turn the whole russ*an air force into scrap metal. Like a quarter of the globes airspace would be enforced by that lmao

I suspect NATO would be able to deploy localized laser based anti drone weapons.
Maybe show-off their experimental ship based rail guns?
Metal Gear?
