Powerful weapon, for short (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nuke

(Other definitions for nuke that I've seen before include "Nuclear weapon (sl.)" , "Attack with H-bomb (slang abbr.)" , "Attack with an atomic weapon" , "Drop huge bomb on" , "Destroy with a very powerful 18" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
