Which is not wrong, a H-Bomb works by nuclear fusion of hydrogen, the same process that happens in the sun. So a detonation of a H-bomb is basically a very short lived miniature sun.

The most important sound that we would like to hear is the actual arrival of the shockwave which is close to 5 sec a mile that way we get an idea of how far away the camera is, the anticipation of the shock wave is the best part
That is a whole lot of go boom. It's also interesting to note how good cameras were even back in the day. The last couple minutes, the footage of the cloud, looked nice.
It is amazing how good actual film can look if it is properly cared for and hasn't degraded with time. I would love to see just how high quality the original print of this footage was along with whatever they haven't released yet, it must have been truly life altering to review it with all the very finest details we inevitably are missing out on converting it to digital.
Its insane to think Hiroshima and Nagasaki as terrible as they were, had both been 15 kiloton bombs. 15 thousand tonnes of TNT. Now take the Tsar Bomb at 50 MILLION TONNES OF TNT and its almost fucking unimaginable
@@carbonc6065 Incorrect. This bomb had both a higher total energy output and a MUCH higher power output, for the tiny fraction of a second during which all of the nuclear activity took place.
@amine dz yeah I've seen some of this footage before and also I feel like 50+ Mt would be much bigger. From what I've read there is no existing video footage of the Tsar Bomba.
Apparently not as much as many smaller tests that were ground shots. Tsar was an airburst and picked up far less solid material than many Nevada and Bikini ground shots.
@@coccoborg In the full Russian version (which has English captions) they say "insignificant" levels. They had people on the ground with no protection whatsoever. So, yeah - "clean". Wonder how long it took until their balls fell off.
I believe I witnessed as a 3rd grader, luminous cloud formations in the night sky from that blast. People at that time thought it was the northern lights. It was not. I have seen aurora borealis and this was not it. The clouds were different colors and moved very slowly through the night sky. It was actually fascinating to watch, but many people thought it was the end of the world. Myself and another classmate had to stand up and tell the class what we saw.
The only thing that prevents bigger bombs like this is not filling up the fuel tank. If this were a car, its tank was only half fuel, or half empty. But there's nothing stopping us from building larger fuel tanks for bombs like this. They make no tactical or strategic sense. Anything much larger would just go a lot higher.
Actually, a lrger number doesnt mean a bigger bimb. A 15 megaton bomb is not 15 times as powerful as a1 mega ton...it's only abou one and a half time more powerful. Problem with this bomb is it is so heavy an ICBM can't carry it. Looks good on paper but real kind of useless....
I have several DVDs of US Nuclear tests. Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie / Atomic Journeys: Welcome to Ground Zero / Nukes In Space: The Rainbow Bombs. See the Goldhil Atomic Bomb Collection for these DVDs. Hopefully the 40 minute cut of the Tsar Bomb will be on DVD eventually.
57 megatons, or 57 million tons of TNT. That is more than 1,500 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs combined, and 10 times more powerful than all the munitions expended during World War Two. Sensors registered the bomb’s blast wave orbiting the Earth not once, not twice, but three times.
Very cool and ty for the post! Just to put it into perspective... in recorded human history... this bomb was only 1/4 the size of the explosion at Krakatoa in 1883.
Waiting years for this release, there are very few footages of this device Many thanks for the researche and effort you put in. Hope we Can get to see the full documentary.

That's 60+ seconds of Second Thermal Pulse luminosity! You can see the DUAL PULSES! OMG! This is awesome! Damn! Sir, you continue to Impress! Thank you! FINALLY!

Or, the first "Yo Mamma" joke dropped in the UNGA, as well as myriad official & unofficial named applied by CCCP & the West. The Soviet Union did not build/does not have a 100 mt Device, test or otherwise. This was it, but they choose to scale it down by 50% Yield and 2.5% Energy derived from Fission. A brilliant Tertiary*-Staged Thermonuclear Weapon - similar to the device the US would deploy using the W/B-41 "Clean" & "Dirty" Versions Bassoon Design - the CCCP created "Vanyan", RDS-220 or "Joe-111" as the CIA dubbed it, using a Boosted Fission Primary Stage-'a Scaled-Down' Thermonuclear Implosion Fusion Secondary Stage- With a Larger Thermonuclear Stage Design [*RDS-220 potentially utilised multiple Tertiary Stages] Basically, 1Mt Fission:49Mt Thermo Fusion. Clean, relative to size and actual Residual Radiation. The sheer size! It makes the Fireball behave "unnaturally!" Awesome footage, a true BRAVO! {Seen cuts of vids & poseur vids, but some great pics showing the Frames... This vid is BRILLIANT! As stated, CCCP did not build two devices, reasonably designing and building two (maybe three) separate Pushers: One each made out of Lead and U238. They chose Lead as the Secondary and presumably Tertiary (at least the "principle Tertiary" Stage Pusher, bc Lead doesn't undergo, Fission, certainly not Fast-Fission, so no Fallout and no creation of a "Bonus" offered by the Element or additional fuels as found today (the Tritium Bonus) They did this because: The specialised Tu-95V aircraft delivering the RDS-220, which included an automatic barometric-pressure sensor to deploy the added (a two-ton) parachute-retarded method-like kit to slow the descent, and both the Tu-95V and the Tu-16 Observation (Chase) Aircraft painted in anti-flash reflective white paint as precautions. Also, prior to Zero Hour, both pilots had to hit max speeds, altitudes & reach ~48km away from nearly FOUR KILOMETRES HOB Point, or risk falling inside the VERY large Fireball. The survival rates, even with these "safety measures" for all Crews? 50/50. The Tu-95V barely escaped the Fireball and shortly after Zero Hour, the aircraft dropped 800m when hit with the initial Shockwave. 97% of yield came from Thermonuclear Fusion, making it pretty damn Clean, whereas using a U238 Tamper(s) woulda made it a LOT dirtier. Even as an Air-Burst, this Burst was so massive, the "Bounce" I'm always thrilled seeing, actually kept the Fireball and Initial Wave from touching the Surface and registered 5+ Richter Scale at the Hypocentre, again.. FOUR KM BELOW HOB! Shows even with calculations, shite can still happen!
As one Russian once said, the only thing America and Russia have in common is we owned what is now Alaska . These guys are playing for keeps, I hope nobody forgets that. 🇺🇸 👍
By the way, for me this is also the most powerful and exciting menmade pyrotechnic device at all. Igniteted to show the military power in the deepest times of the cold war it was celebrated as a kind of firework to warn the world about the ultimative power of such kind of mass destructive weapons.
Bigger is always more interesting when we are talking nukes. But the Russians knew as well as us this thing was dam near useless unless you used it as a port city killer on a cargo ship. The plane would not have had the fuel or speed to compete the mission caring this payload. Still RDS-220 forced us to retaliate with operation Dominic that gave us some of the best nuke shots to date.
@@oliviertalouarn6258 Not sure what you mean. But I'll take a guess, do you mean ICBM's? Yuri Gagarin to be specific. The Russians in 61 were still using the third gen of the R-7. It's max payload was 10,430 lbs. The RDS-220 weighed 30 tons. The U.S. government knew this. But it was a great excuse to increase the military budget.
There was actually an US Reconnaissance Plane that eadvin Area of Tsar's Detonation. The US Built the Mark 41 Weapond that was a 3 Stage Thermonuclear Bomb of about 25 MT. The Mark 41 was never Tested but was Deployed in Arsenal. The Mark 41 was about 10,000 Pounds, that theoretically could of Yielded 140 MT if same Size as Tsar Bomba.
