@@connor828 Very true, since you can chain it, but the rub is that the bomb needs to get bigger and bigger. Even something like this, it's far more efficient to just build fifty 1 megaton bombs.

It's a shame Rosatom released the film scan in 480p. They clearly had a very high quality scan and conducted top notch processing. It was unfortunately limited to a 480p resolution, which was then worsened by TH-cam compression.

I wish we had a true 1080p scan, though I don't mind it being 25 fps.

Not really. The distance is almost a thousand kilometers. The Olenya base is set deep inland, and is screened from the coastline by 150 kilometers of hills and plateaus which would contain and disperse any wind blast. Also, if the impact was as bad as you suggested it would fall much harder on the coast, including that of Norway... but the Norwegians did not notice it.

The real problem is not the clarity of the initial explosion, even if it was 97% clean fusion. The real problem is the aftermath, because the fusion itself - even if it was a clean energy output - generated ultra high energy neutron flux, which activated the sorrunding stable material of the environment to isotopes. That's why there is no so called "clean" nuclear weapon, even if the fusion portion is so high. That was the biggest surprise of the neutron bomb as well. The good old 70's biggest and most promising achievment was the "perfect" nuclear weapon, the neutron bomb. The ultimate tool of the manageable nuclear war. Just a scaled down ultra clean fusion weapon with a very low yield. Low yield - low blast - low physical destruction, but extreme high energy neutron flux -> only the living organism going to be destroyed. Yeah!... And they realized that the whole environment is going to be isotopes. Nice...
Dude. Relative "clean" percent means absolutely nothing, if the bomb (as you say) put equivalent of 1.5 MT PURE FISSION products high into the startosphere, that cloud circled around the entire Earth, and the shockwave circled the Earth twice. It may be cleanest in a relative sense, but in absolute sense it's actually VERY DIRTY. Not to mention that fusion is not radioactively innocent either.
@kolbola Every thermal nuclear bomb begins its reaction by the fission of U235 or Pu238, giving it energy and the environment to fuse hydrogen. The consumption of either element is not complete.

Fantastic vid, great upscale. I had to giggle at the tu95 taking off, reminded me of the sounds some of the vehicles in ‘The Thunderbirds’ make taking off.
Great upscale and fantastic doc (cute young Russian army men, too!). The music is very 1950s/early 60s, as in the US, too. You'd hear this type of soundtrack over a travel film shown on Sunday morning, although maybe irritatingly more jovial on those. The filming is the usual top notch Soviet movie making (check out Soviet sci-fi sometime). And the TU-95, what a simply gorgeous aircraft! We in the US are so spoiled. It's amazing what they did with older tech. Ditto other countries. Something to say about being thrifty and resourceful, with a very high level of education.

Well done piece, but I think that if we could have a listen to the conversation following the test, we might hear "A spectacular test comrade, but perhaps this a bit unwieldy. What do you have that will fit in a Suitcase???"
The Proton / UR-500 rocket was designed to carry this extremely heavy bomb, but they somehow dropped the idea (interesting, what caused this change in plans?). Wikipedia says: '""Proton[12] started its life as a "super heavy ICBM". It was designed to launch a 100-megaton (or larger) thermonuclear weapon over a distance of 13,000 km. It was hugely oversized for an ICBM and was never deployed in such a capacity. It was eventually used as a space launch vehicle"" The rocket was later used to launch all soviet space stations, it was also used to launch components of the ISS. Also interesting: why didn't the USA build a bomb of equivalent yield? how did the US military allow this 'bomb gap' to pass?
Mich schockiert die Romantik, diese Selbstverständlichkeit, dieser Hype, um ein Ding, was eigentlich nur eines kann: Kaputt machen . . . Krass. Einfache Frage: Haben wir es wirklich verdient, auf diesem Planeten leben zu dürfen ?
Alle Atombomben dieser Welt haben nur 1945 etwas kaputt gemacht, ansonsten haben diese Meisterleistungen, gebaut von Tausenden Physikern, mehr Frieden gebracht als Obama und alle Friedensnobelpreisträger zusammen. Meine Familie, meine Kinder und Ich haben es verdient auf diesem Planeten zu leben, da wir anständig sind.
Ich denke, gerade in der Anfangszeit der Kernwaffenforschung und -entwicklung weckten solche Aufnahmen eher Gefühle von Hoffnung darauf, sicher vor feindlichen Invasionen zu sein. Bei vielen Menschen in der Sovjetunion in den 50ern und 60ern war die Erinnerung an den Einfall der Deutschen ab 1941 noch sehr präsent. Das hat sich mit dem immer drastischeren Wettrüsten dann sicher in eine Angst vor der nuklearen Eskalation gewandelt. Ich bin mir aber auch sicher, dass es schon damals, beim Test der Zar-Bombe, mehr als genug Menschen gegeben hat, die das erschaudert hat. Sicher ist, dass auch in der zivilen Kernforschung in den 50ern mehr Licht als Schatten gesehen wurde, das war einfach die ultimative Form der Energiebereitstellung und gab Anlass, von Höherem zu träumen. Ideen von der Weltraumkolonisation z.B. in Sci-Fi-Romanen hatten Aufwind, in den USA gab es Nuklear-Experimentierkästen für Jugendliche mit radioaktiven Bestandteilen usw. usf.. Aus heutiger Sicht vielleicht schwer nachvollziehbar, da wir einige "Zwischenfälle" bzw. Unfälle mit Reaktoranlagen weiter sind und einige Beispiele dafür haben, wie knapp wir an einer nuklearen Konfrontation vorbeigeschrammt sind, aber geschichtliche Phänomene soll man ja bekanntermaßen immer aus ihrer Zeit heraus betrachten. Von daher ist die Frage, ob wir es wirklich verdient haben, auf diesem Planeten zu leben, vielleicht gar nicht so einfach zu beantworten. Die klügsten Köpfe haben genauso dafür gesorgt, dass die Pocken ausgelöscht werden, vielleicht der größte Triumph der Medizinwissenschaft überhaupt. Ist halt der Fluch einer intelligenten Spezies, es ist ein Wettrennen von Selbsterhaltung und Selbstzerstörung. Was wird sich wohl am Ende durchsetzen?
Aweosme job on the video! Question though. So is the explosion shown in the video actually the Tsar Bomba or is it some other nuclear bomb footage that they used in this declassified video?
Good question. According to the Russian MOD, this is the real footage but also according to them, they’re not bogged down in a brutal war currently. So I take anything Russian governmental organizations say with a grain of salt.
"In the end, we lucked out. It was luck that prevented nuclear war." Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Insert a "has" here. Anyway, a completely fascinating clip, with some disturbingly inappropriate music choices.
It needs a painting on the side of a smiling 50's woman in the bomber jacket and little else with a caption "let em have it boy's" or "дайте им это, мальчики"
Classified? On the contrary. It is obviously a news film, made to be shown in movie theaters.The explosion came at a very tense moment at the end of the 50s due to the fast nuclear armament by the US. It was announced to the world personally by Nikita Khrustchev who invited the Western leaders to think it over. Memoirs, published much later indicate that the test actually dampened the enthusiasm of the Pentagon. We may be alive today thanks to Tzar-Bomba. ( I wonder when it was colorized).
Fair! You can have whatever opinion on it you want. I just wanted to put out a higher quality version than the original upload with none of my commentary and no spin on it. I think it was an internal propaganda film for the Soviet military.
Shame the videos of this event are not as well shot as other nuclear explosions. Considering it's 50 megatons, you'de expect very good coverage from many angles. Obviously a one off event...
Oh be sure that it is filmed, not just by many angles, but in ultra-high frame rate 😉 Just you mediocretes don’t understand how much it can be learned from those photos… Especially after an atmospheric ban treaty made 70 years of no new data! So you as an enemies won’t ever get a chance to see even 0.0001% of the data collected! And be happy even for this video..!
2:58 the light and 3:12 the sound how is this Possible, was the camera just a few kilometers away? For a distance of 10 km, the sound need near 30 seconds, edit the cam was way closer to this powerful detonation or is hust a fake sound.
That would be their problem then because since it’s a propaganda film effectively, they could lie as much as they want. I got the original file off the Russian government channel before they started deleting things.
Because people in the west don’t want the reminder that there stupid leaders for whom they voted for just went and f**ked with the wrong country because they thought it was a good idea.
Showcasing the beauty in utter destruction. It is a pity Rosatom did not scan it in higher resolutions, because the film master is in immaculate condition as can be discerned from the ending B-rolls (mid-air footage).
Bombs like this were deemed to be simply impractical. Way too heavy to feasibly deploy in battle. The most feasible war ready nukes are 500 kilotons to 2 megatons, launching several of them around the same target for maximum hit rate and saturation.
is it that at 34:49 the fireball is bellow the clouds while it’s dark it is a glowing small light visible, then as the fireball comes above the clouds, suddenly it’s bright light is much more visible and the sky becomes as the daylight?!! 😧
The pilot was like “;can we have extra jets to launch us away from the bomb” no but we will put a tiny parachute on it to slow its decent. “ yea thanks …. Dicks “
Bro, whenever it shows all of the smoke clouds, that is just insane of how big it is it is scary knowing that that’s actually what the bomb mushroom crowd look like by the way I still don’t have no or have figured out if this footage is real or not but it’s very realistic because there’s no way somebody just recorded this happening
Nice upscale by the uploader. However, the Russians should have learned a thing or two from the Americans when it came to production value. It's a shame that those Trabant cameras can't capture the actual fireball. Ivy Mike and Castle Bravo explosions look way more impressive despite being three to five times smaller.
I agree with you. Alas, but in Russia they still keep secret footage of bomb explosions. It is unclear why to cross it, how then and why to remove it, but if they continue to lie somewhere like that, they will eventually deteriorate without return. America was making a show out of it and in general it was a good idea
Скорее всего, саундтрек был написан композитором оркестра специально для этого фильма. Это обычная практика для подобных старых документальных фильмов.
Фильм был снят для демонстрации Высшему командованию Мин. Обороны СССР и естественно членов ЦК КПСС. Поэтому музыка была подобрана в духе созидательного строительства коммунистического будущего. Типа, строительства ,,Братской,, ГЭС или Останкинской телевышки.
The explosion was so big, that there was NO radiation, the complete segment of the atmosphere was ejected to the outer space (converting the Earth into a rocket like)
You realize that even at the time Tsar bomba was dropped, most of Europe and the US already had the technology to shoot it down right? It's a massive and very slow moving target and all it takes is one atom inside the bomb to change, in order to throw off the entire explosion. All this did was kill a shit ton of wildlife and nearly burn a hole in the atmosphere, other than that, it was already useless.

Thanks? I don’t know if ‘enjoyment’ is the right word. Appreciate the effort. Subtext is “We have so much equipment, nothing could go wrong for Mother Russia.” (Especially with florid Russian orchestral music!). 22:43 Announcer is thrilled. 23:49 Whole-tone chords conveying magic. 26:38 “Dying to get there, the eager troops headed into the blast zone. The smarter officers remained behind.” 30:10 A very bright mid-day, this shot required the aperture be closed enough to make it appear like sunset. 24:48 (just below the thermosphere [if any bomba was going to set fire to the atmosphere…]).

If this is a real documentary from the USSR it is historic. Who ever snuck it out - you are to be commended.

Fantastic vid, great upscale. I had to giggle at the tu95 taking off, reminded me of the sounds some of the vehicles in ‘The Thunderbirds’ make taking off.
A very nicely produced film. Excellent photography, nice score. I don't understand Russian, so I can't coment on the script.

"The Product"....a massive destruction device to be exact.
Thank you for sharing this. I agree, 480p was not good enough. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Amusing how they keep referring to a 50 megaton nuclear bomb as 'the product'.
Yep
And clean.
Makes a change from calling it "The Gadget".
They also classify their experimental vehicles as 'object', operational defence equipment/systems as 'complex'.
Great upscale and fantastic doc (cute young Russian army men, too!). The music is very 1950s/early 60s, as in the US, too. You'd hear this type of soundtrack over a travel film shown on Sunday morning, although maybe irritatingly more jovial on those. The filming is the usual top notch Soviet movie making (check out Soviet sci-fi sometime). And the TU-95, what a simply gorgeous aircraft!
We in the US are so spoiled. It's amazing what they did with older tech. Ditto other countries. Something to say about being thrifty and resourceful, with a very high level of education.

Well done piece, but I think that if we could have a listen to the conversation following the test, we might hear "A spectacular test comrade, but perhaps this a bit unwieldy. What do you have that will fit in a Suitcase???"
Who was the poor Ivan that had to film the bomb falling with the parachute.
I was just thinking that as I was watching that part "Hey, how far away is that camera man from this bomb?"
That video clip of the bomb falling with parachute is likely from a test of the parachute as the distance is too short to not fry the camera gear.

The Proton / UR-500 rocket was designed to carry this extremely heavy bomb, but they somehow dropped the idea (interesting, what caused this change in plans?). Wikipedia says: '""Proton[12] started its life as a "super heavy ICBM". It was designed to launch a 100-megaton (or larger) thermonuclear weapon over a distance of 13,000 km. It was hugely oversized for an ICBM and was never deployed in such a capacity. It was eventually used as a space launch vehicle""
The rocket was later used to launch all soviet space stations, it was also used to launch components of the ISS.
Also interesting: why didn't the USA build a bomb of equivalent yield? how did the US military allow this 'bomb gap' to pass?
Mich schockiert die Romantik, diese Selbstverständlichkeit, dieser Hype, um ein Ding, was eigentlich nur eines kann: Kaputt machen . . . Krass. Einfache Frage: Haben wir es wirklich verdient, auf diesem Planeten leben zu dürfen ?
Alle Atombomben dieser Welt haben nur 1945 etwas kaputt gemacht, ansonsten haben diese Meisterleistungen, gebaut von Tausenden Physikern, mehr Frieden gebracht als Obama und alle Friedensnobelpreisträger zusammen.
Meine Familie, meine Kinder und Ich haben es verdient auf diesem Planeten zu leben, da wir anständig sind.
Ich denke, gerade in der Anfangszeit der Kernwaffenforschung und -entwicklung weckten solche Aufnahmen eher Gefühle von Hoffnung darauf, sicher vor feindlichen Invasionen zu sein. Bei vielen Menschen in der Sovjetunion in den 50ern und 60ern war die Erinnerung an den Einfall der Deutschen ab 1941 noch sehr präsent. Das hat sich mit dem immer drastischeren Wettrüsten dann sicher in eine Angst vor der nuklearen Eskalation gewandelt. Ich bin mir aber auch sicher, dass es schon damals, beim Test der Zar-Bombe, mehr als genug Menschen gegeben hat, die das erschaudert hat.
Sicher ist, dass auch in der zivilen Kernforschung in den 50ern mehr Licht als Schatten gesehen wurde, das war einfach die ultimative Form der Energiebereitstellung und gab Anlass, von Höherem zu träumen. Ideen von der Weltraumkolonisation z.B. in Sci-Fi-Romanen hatten Aufwind, in den USA gab es Nuklear-Experimentierkästen für Jugendliche mit radioaktiven Bestandteilen usw. usf..
Aus heutiger Sicht vielleicht schwer nachvollziehbar, da wir einige "Zwischenfälle" bzw. Unfälle mit Reaktoranlagen weiter sind und einige Beispiele dafür haben, wie knapp wir an einer nuklearen Konfrontation vorbeigeschrammt sind, aber geschichtliche Phänomene soll man ja bekanntermaßen immer aus ihrer Zeit heraus betrachten.
Von daher ist die Frage, ob wir es wirklich verdient haben, auf diesem Planeten zu leben, vielleicht gar nicht so einfach zu beantworten. Die klügsten Köpfe haben genauso dafür gesorgt, dass die Pocken ausgelöscht werden, vielleicht der größte Triumph der Medizinwissenschaft überhaupt. Ist halt der Fluch einer intelligenten Spezies, es ist ein Wettrennen von Selbsterhaltung und Selbstzerstörung. Was wird sich wohl am Ende durchsetzen?
If this is supposedly "propaganda", then every single film the west releases is also propaganda.
Propaganda does not mean faked.
Это скорее обучающий материал.
Это секретные записи для обучения персонала, которую, рассекретили из-за развала СССР.

wild how well made the doc is
Aweosme job on the video! Question though. So is the explosion shown in the video actually the Tsar Bomba or is it some other nuclear bomb footage that they used in this declassified video?
Good question. According to the Russian MOD, this is the real footage but also according to them, they’re not bogged down in a brutal war currently. So I take anything Russian governmental organizations say with a grain of salt.

It needs a painting on the side of a smiling 50's woman in the bomber jacket and little else with a caption "let em have it boy's" or "дайте им это, мальчики"

The human extintion is possible
Classified? On the contrary. It is obviously a news film, made to be shown in movie theaters.The explosion came at a very tense moment at the end of the 50s due to the fast nuclear armament by the US. It was announced to the world personally by Nikita Khrustchev who invited the Western leaders to think it over. Memoirs, published much later indicate that the test actually dampened the enthusiasm of the Pentagon. We may be alive today thanks to Tzar-Bomba. ( I wonder when it was colorized).
I would love to have seen this detonation from a safe distance. Beautiful.
As long as you'd wear eye and hearing protection! It was heard all the way from Europe!
Exactly where would be a safe distance from a 50 MT bomb. The Moon?
Even if you were 34 miles away you will possibly be killed or get 3rd degree burns
madness
Be careful what you wish for.. The US 🇺🇸 is doing everything too see the real thing in America. Who know your wish might come true real soon..

Incredible footage. Than k you.
No problem. Seems the original was taken down which was unfortunate. Probably because of recent events in that area of the world.
It's hard to tell scale but the fireball was 6 miles across. The mushroom cloud rose to over 40 miles.
Great production, very aesthetic
Nice job
Thanks!
Nice job on the film, but a big, big dislike 👎 for the H Bomb testing!
A weapon that it's meant for total destruction and devastation! 😱😔

Also the quality of this video is amazing. Nice job.

Soviet slop.
Fair! You can have whatever opinion on it you want. I just wanted to put out a higher quality version than the original upload with none of my commentary and no spin on it. I think it was an internal propaganda film for the Soviet military.

They didnt lie when they said "the radiation was insignificant".
Anything is insignificant if you dont care about the survival of those people 😂
Even the great Ozzy Osbourne wrote lots of songs about nuclear war..This footage inspired Electrical Funeral
Shame the videos of this event are not as well shot as other nuclear explosions. Considering it's 50 megatons, you'de expect very good coverage from many angles. Obviously a one off event...
That's what happens when most of the country's spending goes into making the weapons
Oh be sure that it is filmed, not just by many angles, but in ultra-high frame rate 😉
Just you mediocretes don’t understand how much it can be learned from those photos…
Especially after an atmospheric ban treaty made 70 years of no new data!
So you as an enemies won’t ever get a chance to see even 0.0001% of the data collected!
And be happy even for this video..!
@@SunsetFilmAlliance what a fucking lie
It's from 1961 people, what do you expect
2:58 the light and 3:12 the sound how is this Possible, was the camera just a few kilometers away? For a distance of 10 km, the sound need near 30 seconds, edit the cam was way closer to this powerful detonation or is hust a fake sound.
What?
Yeah good job. I love this stuff.
Thank you very much!
Say that to the North people with reindeers.
Me too !!!
Some say the parachute was never found.
most of the footage is from Soviet's first hydrogen bomb test not the tsar bomba
That would be their problem then because since it’s a propaganda film effectively, they could lie as much as they want. I got the original file off the Russian government channel before they started deleting things.
Hopefully they will release the testing of the Petrel (Thunderbird) aka Буревестник sometime in the future in 4k quality.
How hasn't this got even a million views!?
I’m surprised it has 50,000 views!
Because people in the west don’t want the reminder that there stupid leaders for whom they voted for just went and f**ked with the wrong country because they thought it was a good idea.
Because most of the people today the don't even know what is this bombs doing. And what is the result of a war between Russia and Nato.
because people dont like radiation
@@henkstoomflat8840 This bomb does not emit radiation, it is hydrogen.
Showcasing the beauty in utter destruction. It is a pity Rosatom did not scan it in higher resolutions, because the film master is in immaculate condition as can be discerned from the ending B-rolls (mid-air footage).
Bombs like this were deemed to be simply impractical. Way too heavy to feasibly deploy in battle. The most feasible war ready nukes are 500 kilotons to 2 megatons, launching several of them around the same target for maximum hit rate and saturation.
True
is it that at 34:49 the fireball is bellow the clouds while it’s dark it is a glowing small light visible, then as the fireball comes above the clouds, suddenly it’s bright light is much more visible and the sky becomes as the daylight?!! 😧
Half dozen of these on the US: no more US interference.
Have fun getting them there. This bomb was way too heavy to mount on an ICBM.
there has NEVER been a taxi cab driver that hot in the entire history of planet Earth.
24:28 What is the shooting distance?
17- 20 km
The pilot was like “;can we have extra jets to launch us away from the bomb” no but we will put a tiny parachute on it to slow its decent.
“ yea thanks …. Dicks “

Great video but this music is absolutely maddening. All this beauty and fanfare behind the making of the most devastating bomb ever made. 😂.
They must’ve added it for propagandistic value I guess.
Bro, whenever it shows all of the smoke clouds, that is just insane of how big it is it is scary knowing that that’s actually what the bomb mushroom crowd look like by the way I still don’t have no or have figured out if this footage is real or not but it’s very realistic because there’s no way somebody just recorded this happening
Nice upscale by the uploader. However, the Russians should have learned a thing or two from the Americans when it came to production value. It's a shame that those Trabant cameras can't capture the actual fireball. Ivy Mike and Castle Bravo explosions look way more impressive despite being three to five times smaller.
Absolutely. Nailing exposure and dynamic range make a great difference.
I agree with you. Alas, but in Russia they still keep secret footage of bomb explosions. It is unclear why to cross it, how then and why to remove it, but if they continue to lie somewhere like that, they will eventually deteriorate without return. America was making a show out of it and in general it was a good idea
Rusian don't want to make paper impres , just facts :))

The explosion was so big, that there was NO radiation, the complete segment of the atmosphere was ejected to the outer space (converting the Earth into a rocket like)
This was also influenced by the design of the bomb, attempts were made to limit pollution.
This could solve the Ukraine issue real quick
Some of the scientists were from Kiev.
That is very bad to say...
@@Joaocruz30 I'm on Russia's side. Ukrainian president has been doing secret attacks on Russian soil for a long time and then Russia retaliated.
You realize that even at the time Tsar bomba was dropped, most of Europe and the US already had the technology to shoot it down right? It's a massive and very slow moving target and all it takes is one atom inside the bomb to change, in order to throw off the entire explosion. All this did was kill a shit ton of wildlife and nearly burn a hole in the atmosphere, other than that, it was already useless.
Mother Russia will not be outdone at explosions, Comrade
Great work mate
