Worlds Biggest Bomb: Tsar Bomba. Part 1 of 3



Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба; "Emperor Bomb") is the nickname for the AN602 hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It's October 30, 1961 test remains the most powerful artificial explosion in human history. It was also referred to as Kuz'kina Mat' (Russian: Кузькина мать, Kuzka's mother), potentially referring to Nikita Khrushchev's promise to show the United States a "Kuz'kina Mat'" at the 1960 United Nations General Assembly. The famous Russian idiom, which has been problematic for translators, equates roughly with the English "We'll show you!" Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT (420 PJ), but the yield was reduced to 57 megatons to reduce nuclear fallout (and also to prevent the blast from destroying the drop aircraft). This attempt was successful, as it was one of the cleanest (relative to it's yield) nuclear bombs ever detonated. Only one bomb of this type was ever built and it was tested on October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, at Sukhoy Nos.

  2. They ruined those Islands, fucking idiots.. All for the sake of testing bombs that we already knew about. Bombs tested based on "what if" scenarios".

  4. And some people fear that maybe the world's end will be a meteorite or stuff like that. Mankind's biggest problem is mankind ... if it should be a ww III with all the bombs and technology avaible in ww IV they will fight with rocks and boulders , cuz that's what will remain on this planet . ( sry for my bad english )

  5. You can't read can you
  6. None. There was only one built and one mock version. And the real one couldn't even be used because it was very big, it weighed in at 27 tonnes. The Tu-95 couldn't have even reached America while carrying this bomb.
  7. Wonder how many are left now?
  8. We both did, we both had bigger, we just never tested them.
  9. you got the song name? I want it too.
  10. casually grab my camera and film a cloud while below 70 thousand people are being vaporized. casual.
