- Russia has released previously classified footage of the world's largest nuclear explosion, caused when the Soviet Union detonated the so-called Tsar Bomba almost 60 years ago.
The hydrogen bomb, which carried the force of 50 million tons of conventional explosives, was detonated in a test on Oct.1961, 4,000 meters over the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago above the Arctic Circle.
The footage shows an immense fireball and a 60-km high mushroom cloud rising after the explosion lit up the sky.
The views were captured from several angles by cameras installed on the ground and on board two Soviet aircraft.
A documentary featuring the footage was published online for the first time by Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom last week as part of events to mark 75th anniversary of Russia's atomic industry.

And if that bomb were to be dropped on New York, it could be wipe out the whole city instant
@@katshuyadepionier3633 actually it was put on 50% power because some leading soviet sciencists had concerns about the aftermath of the 100% power explosion.

@@huyphamuc6372 i am russian, and we are never been scary about war, as childs. So we love nuclear bomb, because it explodes very loud and bright.
Just to add more pzazz to this: the TSAR Bomba was 50 megatons, and was actually a scaled back version of a 100 megatons bomb. In other words, the most powerful thermonuclear bomb ever detonated was only half the size it could have been.
Yup. It could have been so big that the plane that would have dropped it wouldn't survive. It was so powerful that it was impractical.
Another fun fact; in 2020 Russia unveiled an autonomous underwater nuke carrying drone that can cause a 200 megaton coastal explosion, sending a wave of radioactive water across an entire coastline. Just a few could wipe out 80% of the US population which is mainly on the west and east coast.

I remember this well.

They were screaming that it was the end of civilization. It was also one of the only two times that I ever saw the media criticize Russia, the other time was Chernobyl.
Stupid of the usa. It was a very clean explosion. Almost no fallout.. instead of the usa Castle bravo nuke ... that was a very dirty one and they had to pay reperations...

And the radiation by going on Twitter right after
I'm not scared about that thing 60 years ago but I'm afraid of what they've been doing in secret for that 60 years
If that drops in almost any European country it's done if the best thing they have right now detonates let's not even imagine
They have nuclear torpedoes being refined - the Poseidon. The idea is you destroy a coastal city and port, but there will also be a massive tsunami of radioactive water washing inland destroying and polluting in its path. There are claims the tsunami could be 500 meters high, but even if greatly exaggerated it would still be a nasty weapon. Also, all conventional anti missile tech would be useless as it travels underwater instead of in the air.

the countries don’t benefit. the corporations do.
That was true at that time, and a long after that was also still applicable. Prolonging war drains all kinds of resources with marginal profit. But all out nuclear war is different, it destroys anything and everything that was supposed to be plunder. Basically last resort or option of self druction together with the enemy. Humanity more than likely can survive such war, because the nations that still own/make them will prioritize targeting countries that also have them. But mainly because the war is more likely to end before the arsenals runs out. Dozens, maybe hundreds of cities are likely to become rubble, but who said humans only live in cities? Worst case scenario is half of the human population is gone, but that is still 3.5 - 4 billion people out there. The Black Plague wiped out a third of humanity in the middle ages, and almost made Europe free real estate for other major empires at the time, but they still miraculously stood back up and later made Europe great again.
But yeah no one definitely likes war, only psychopaths and war mongering politicians/corporates will be happy about it nowadays. (Back then, war didnt have the same psychological impact for civilians(and nobles/politicians) than it did until the first world war)

As a result, the blast had an actual power of 50 MT.

I am not completely sure, but nuclear bombs don't actually produce a lot of fallout, dirty bombs do that

@@webber4494 From what I know, distance helps, if they detonate closer to the ground they do release quite a bit of the stuff but the blast effectiveness is significantly reduced (so not efficient use of expensive resources). I guess that's why we made the dirty bomb, best of both worlds.
@@webber4494 Basically, it depends on where it explodes. Detonating in the sky has minimal radioactivity while detonating on the ground makes a pretty big area start looking like Alabama.

There's this famous story that the real reason they never deploy these bombs is that in one of those conferences where officials often meet to discuss critical matters, an alien popped up abruptly mid air, it materialized out of thin air and gave a stern warning, "We are not going to allow you to use these weapons." This happened in front of everybody who attended the conference and they were shocked. And later, as usual with such sensitive info, they all were forbidden from speaking about it.
This came up after another event where there was a bizzarre event, a UFO was hovering above nuclear missiles in a millitary base... and the alarms were going off, (cmon you know this one LOL. The guys on duty tried but none of the buttons were working. Later it was found out that the bombs had been destroyed, even plutonium cores had been molten.

Well now I know the fastest way to clear the snow off my car in the morning. Thanks for the tip.
The 69 lole
It was CLASSIFIED and they also did 60's narration, music and sound quality.
Presentation.
They made the video and it was classified as secret... there is plenty of videos like that made by the USA.
Special company was doing it not some random people and some videos were only for limited audience=>classified or top secret.
They still wanted it professional and presentable for viewing by military and politburo officials. If you look it up, there’s a CIA or State Department (or something) documentary on Soviet military capabilities from I think 1989 that was classified for a long time, but put on TH-cam since declassification. It honestly presents like a normal documentary you’d of seen on TV in the late 80’s to mid 90’s, just for government and military officials to view instead.
60 years ago imagine what they have today
Nothing remotely on this scale.

Our bomb was actually a little too big for the Tu-95. Contrary to Western belief, the RDS-220 was not an easy “strap-on-and-go”. Many components had to be relocated and almost the entire bomb bay structure had to be redesigned just so the bomb could fit. That is not even mentioning the great lengths our designers had to go in order to suspended the RDS-220 safely without having the Tu-95 fuselage collapse. We had no other bomber of choice that had such performance and ground clearance than the Tu-95, so we modified it to the best of our ability.
When the flight came, the test pilots were told that it would be a likely suicide mission; which it very closely ended up as. They glossed the Tu-95 both top _and_ bottom with a very strong anti-glare coat to protect the aircraft as much as possible. After they dropped the RDS, even having the bomb release a parachute, the Tu-95 barely and I seriously mean _barely_ escaped the shockwave. It ended up loosing a whole kilometer of altitude from the blast.
Higher officials concluded that this bomb was far too dangerous for production, even for testing, so the program was finalized and the spare casing sent to a museum for display.
Very interesting👍
@hattemnigma it was the soviets, of course it was "we" and "ours" 😅

If that's the h bomb you need to see what they wanted to make after that, it was going to be 4 times the size of that but it got stopped
Edward teller had the blueprints to make a bomb 200x as powerful than this. Basically the fireball radius would be the size of France. They wouldn't let him though because the bomb would have ruined the stratosphere thus killing earth.
@ I seen a program on it the one the Russians wanted to test but got stopped due to damage the tsar cost. It was going to make the tsar bomba look tiny.
Fkn hell
@ So very wrong for so many reasons. the whole idea of "setting the atmosphere on fire" was entirely an overreaction because 60's nuclear science had no idea what exactly it would take to do that
@@ciaran134 the reason Tsar Bomba was 1/2'd is because the engineers/scientists were worried about destroying all life on account of not fully understanding the science at the time

No, that would've been the case if they hadn't reduced to bomb's size by half as they did, as I recall.
@@romaniangamer1
No they did not reduced the size. They applied a Parachute at the bomb to give time to Pilots to get away from the blast site.
General RG They lowered the bomb yield.
@General RG
They DID infact reduce the bomb by 50% yield , you can look it if you don't believe me .
The Tsar bomba (a.k.a Big Ivan) was dropped on Novaya Zemyla (Новая Земля) and the shock waves REACHED FINLAND AND SWEDEN and you can see the flash of the bomb from Finland and so on.. despite being basically just half of what IT can.
1961 is ancient history when it comes to weaponry.. they're not even going to tell you what they got today
the Russians do. They told their people and the world what they about to develop in 2018 about all the weapon and now it is archived all of them and showed the testing in some but the US pentagon or congress not allow to show that to the US people . THE USUAL .
the Russians showed everything and the US is censure it .
Another thing the world is fed up with the US .
The Russian tell their enemy off to back off or they will do attack back and how and they do it did it and showed it.
The US is censured them all from the US citizens.
WHY did Russia release this video? That's the question we must all ask.
Dude they released cuz its the 75th anniversary of the bomb dropping

This was 60+ years ago and we were already capable of creating this monster which was only at 50% of its power. Just imagine what would be able to create with todays technology I just get goosebumps to even think about it o_o
Most the goosebumps this winter is cause russia an usa cut off gas supplies to Europe . Could just be that?
There is no theoretical max size to a thermonuclear bomb. they knew this back then, you just keep adding stages. Conventional bomb sets off atomic secondary which compresses a hydrogen core which creates even larger fusion detonation... you use that to set off an even larger yet secondary fusion stage, so on and so forth until you end up with an artificial star.
There's no reason to. Smaller warheads on much faster delivery systems with the ability to have multiple re-entry vehicles is far more effective at first and second strikes than one comically large device that probably can't even be fitted on a missile
There’s no reason to, since bombs as big as this is overkill and difficult to deliver

Power of a nuke is not its quality. These huge nukes were made for research purposes mainly, not to actually nuke other countries with them.

Quantity, quality, range, and more won't matter. Because we'd all die anyways in the nuclear bombing.
