"It was dropped over this little lake"
Mate, I think the Tsar Bomba created that little lake
Its terrifying how powerful A bombs can be and it wasn't even the bombs final form
I have no doubt that the current A bombs russia / the us has today are far bigger, scary stuff.
Edit: Over 25 people have replied and said that I'm wrong, I acknowledge I was wrong, no need to reply and say im wrong anymore.
@Mr BuzzKill I'd say the nuke that can decimate a small country is more scary, but then again a shit ton of those missiles could be fired at once, i dont really know and I dont want to find out!
Probs lol
Strategically, it makes better sense to make smaller nukes with hyperfast delivery systems. If you make one doomsday weapon, then your enemy is going to be like "It's right THERE, target that spot with everything we have!" If you instead cast out a ridiculous smear of hundreds of smaller weapons, then it becomes the worst game of Missile Command ever, and your enemy is scrambling like fuck to defend every spot it can, spreading out resources to the point of vanishingly thin. Besides, modern fusion warheads are barely bigger than a human being and yet are still city killers. They're really all you need to permanently cripple any country.
When The Tsar Bomba was detonated, it broke windows here in Norway. Insane!
Pontubs The light created by the bomb was seen in the UK according to some eye witnesses. Though the stories are anecdotal.
Pontubs In Finland too
Finnish Finn Maybe they did it because the soviets were still butthurt about the Winter war :P
Butterlord of Swadia Propably
Pontubs the plane that drop it was almost blown out of the sky
Don’t forget folks, the engineers thought the original bomb was too powerful, so they took OUT HALF of the fission material before the test.
That’s a bruh moment
What😳
@THE ASS BLASTERthey did that because the heat that would create by explosion of fully loaded bomb can set in fire an atmosphere of Earth
@@BrotherFox2 no. They did it so the plane dropping the bomb and the one escorting it wouldn’t be destroyed. Also, because they weren’t completely sure about its destructive nature and didn’t want to cause too much collateral damage.
The atmosphere thing is a myth. Stop repeating it.
@@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332 lissen smartass idk where you came up with this airplane nonsense, but I'll tell you the first reason why 100 megatons hasn't been tested. Because there will be a huge radioactive contamination and to avoid this, it was decided to put the element on a less radioactive one instead of uranium, which reduced the power to ~ 50 megatons. Also, scientists were afraid that damage to the planet would be caused, including the ignition of the atmosphere.
This is incredible. It's a 2.5 hour aeroplane flight from London to Spain. But a detonation over London would blow windows out in Spain. I can't get my head round that, without bringing on a little bit of anxiety.
No it cant. There is nearly 2000 kms between london and spain. No windows will be broken.

Good thing the Tsar Bomba was too large to be used. The amount of destruction at only 50% of the original size is astonishing. 100MT was the original size the Ussr wanted to build, but reduced it by half because the creator thought that was too big.
they were afraid they could put whole atmosphere in fire :D so reduced to 50mg
@@okeyokey578No thats bullshit. They made the bomb from 100mt to 57mt because they didnt want to cause long lasting nuclear fallout and basically made the bomb really clean. so it makes no nuclear residue in the area. It wouldnt lit the atmosphere on fire. also another reason was to make sure the pilot would survive. The pilot only had a chance around 50% of survival even with the bomb with a parachute at 50 mt
A 100 megaton bomb wouldnt really be that efficient too.To make a nuclear bomb 2 times bigger radius you need 8 times more megatons of energy. 2³

This bomb, which was designed by Soviet physicist Andrei Sakarov was the reason that he quit developing nuclear weapons for the Soviets. It scared him so much - he did not realize that he had developed a nuclear device with so much destructive power and killing properties that he told the Soviet leadership that he would never design/develop anythingike that bomb again. The Soviet leadership exiled him to a remote city because of his bravery to stand up to them!!!!!

@@yas5414 i hope IM STILL alive when world war 3 startrs
Fun fact: Just to be safe they only used 50% of the bombs power
Tilen Kosi so it was also "clean bomb" in comparison with the most powerful explosion of the USA.
They had no choice. At full power there were no methods of delivery that could outrun the blast.
Ralph Menta So would the actual bomb double the distance it effects?
47kz I don’t think so... according to Wikipedia “...that destructive power of a single warhead on land scales approximately only as the cube root of its yield, due to blast "wasted" over a roughly hemispherical blast volume while the strategic target is distributed over a circular land area with limited height and depth. “.
Every documentary about the Tzar Bomba, including this one, states that they only made it 50MT because they can't outrun anything bigger with the technology they had then. Even at 50MT the pilots only had a 50/50 chance of survival. The DEFINITELY would have made a bigger one if they weren't positive it would kill the messenger lol
I've found it really odd that I breezed through the total destruction of London and burning of south east England, but got stuck thinking that one of those bombs would blow out ALL the windows in the UK, Holand, Belgum, Denmark, Ireland, and most of France. That fact blew my mind.
And this is only half of power. If this thing will be exploded in the Moscow, people in Saint-Peterburg will loose their windows. This is 4 hours ride by the train. But more scary, that explosion will break windows in the Minsk and Kiev.
Did the rds-37 bomb give a bigger radius of total destruction than the tsar-bomb?
@@scottwarren4998 Certainly not The RDS-37, was a much smaller nuclear bomb with an estimated yield of around 1.6 megatons of TNT. While it was a powerful weapon, it was significantly smaller in yield compared to the Tsar Bomba. And well as a result, the Tsar Bomba had a much larger radius of total destruction
I believe that the north of the UK and Ireland is way too mountainous for it to destroy the windows in actuality
This bomb wasn’t used “at 50% power”. Originally it was supposed to be 100 megatons, but the head of the project straight up refused to make it, fearing it would damage the earths crust along with an insane amount of other damage. So instead he managed to talk Soviet leadership down to 50 megatons, arguing it was more than enough to make their point to the US
what does it matter if the earth crustgets damaged
@@starmaster191 crust crack, magma spews, we all burn to death. Plus like tsunamis and shit...but we might live to see em
@@plantainman7664 I'm no expert but i don't think the crust would get that damaged. even then it would be kinda cool to see a big crater in an unpopulated area of the arctic. (novaya zemyla)
starmaster191 I’m no expert, but if a nuclear scientist is worried about the damage a blast will do to the crust, it’s probably best they scaled it down.
@@starmaster191 you're not expert but the person that was worried about damaging the earths crust is/was. And the potential effects of doing so frightened him more than going against the will of the soviet union. Which is saying something
Those were built 50 years ago imagine what they could build today
It was actually planned to be 100 megatons but then the plane would not have time to escape, that could destroy the the entire Netherlands probably.
And the bomb might have caused a Nuclear Winter in most of the Northern Hemisphere probably.
Today the doctrine is to throw a bunch of smaller nukes over an area.
you think Russia gives a shit about human rights? It had to be 50 megatons because it would be too heavy for the plane to carry it if it was 100 megatons.
I actually read something on the internet that, due to precision targeting(?) nowadays, nuclear armaments have lower yields compared to the "explode everything" bombs of the 50s
What a great time for UA-cam to recommend this to us

@@CheapskateMotorsports
Saying "don't use it anymore" is actually wrong, because it implies it was used before, but was NEVER used. The explosion data we are seeing here are from the test shot. The actual final production weapon, which WOULD BE USED effectively against a country never got used, for the exact reasons we see here.
It was also what nailed the coffin on the test and use of ALL nuclear weapons, because no country in the planet including the Russians themselves want this atrocious tech to become reality.
@@NothingXemnas "don't use it anymore" is colloquially used as a stand in for "not in service anymore"
Mustachio's Motovlogs it was never in service though. It was an interesting test, nothing more. Only the one was ever made. It was far too impractical to be of use in a war situation. It was heavy and the aircrew barely got away. The largest nukes in the arsenals were between 10MT and 15MT. Even so, the majority of the arsenals were smaller, because multiple small nukes targeted efficiently would cause more effective damage.
...and it was only half of initially intended power.
i think 1 Gt weapons have been considered which is fucking crazy!!
Exactly. Keep in mind that the only thing that limits the "practical use" of how powerful a hydrogen bomb can be is the feasibility to deliver it. Dropping by plane or ballistic missile has size limitations, but dropping it from a modified C-5 or a Falcon Heavy rocket package from SpaceX could yield weapons that approach a 500-MT yield by today's advancements, which would be horrific to be exposed to from a far greater distance. The curvature of the Earth would litererally be your only hope of being shielded from the heat wave from over 140 miles away.
Real life Exterminatus bomb! (0_0)
Yep. At the last minute to prevent possible threat to "nearby" civilians, they either added more lead to soak up roughly half the xrays or otherwise vented them after the initial reaction and kept the full fusion effect for only half the material.
dumb motherfuckers almost blew up the whole world that's why you don't just let anybody have nuclear weapons you know

it dont exist the 2 are in a museum they dont exist anymore no worry
a weapon untested is worthless
one does not make something without finding out if it works
and as the tsar bomba was pathetically unpractical and useless in a war (even as a kill everyone everywhere madman's weapon)
its safe to say its the biggest as any bigger is pointless
@@scottgrasser9475 Tsar Bomb was fully practical - in case you want to cause nuclear apocaypsis. It can be loaded in ICBM on the grade of "Yars" rocket (soviets overall almost fully abandoned plane nukes in favor of missile nukes), and thus there is no problem with launching it and reaching the target. The problem is that it is indeed weapon of nuclear apocalypsis - so it doesn't allow anyone to win.
@@thedreamscripter4002 The Tsar Bomba would need a heavy lift rocket, the Soviets never developed one big enough for it that could work reliably
Its impractical because its cheaper and more effective to use scattered tactical nukes, wich would be harder to shoot down, have a wider range, and be able to hit multiple precise targets

@@CalSniffsMilo No. We have almost 16000 nuclear bombs in total (most of those are disarmed, not functional). All those bombs would fit in a small town. We're not even near of having the power to destroy the earth, with all the 16k bombs we could barely scratch a part of the surface of the Earth. But we could end human life for sure, due to the radiation generated from all those bombs and in theory, the entire planed would be covered with black clouds which would prevent sunlight to pass through so all plants would die hence we and most species would die. Although this cloud thing is not yet proven and I hope it will never be. Anyway I think the probability of us actually blowing ourselves up is almost 0.

What's funny is that the Tsar Bomba was basically made only to flex muscle. The bomb was too fat to strap to a missile and any plane carrying it would be shot down with ease. The pilots carrying the bomb were only given a 50% chance of getting away fast enough to prevent being knocked out of the air. The bomb at the time was basically useless. It did make everyone (including Russians) scared so in a way it helped get agreements signed.
And what prevents from laying a bomb on the ocean floor near the shores? The effect will be even scarier. The explosion itself, a huge wave, plus radioactive evaporation for thousands of miles.

True, but you also have to remember that Fat Man and Little Boy (Nagasaki and Hiroshima) were done for psychological impact as opposed to sheer damage. The US did far more damage firebombing Tokyo than they did with either atomic bomb, but the fact that they did so much damage with just one bomb from one plane in two cities in rapid succession, and then bluffed that they had a lot more (the US only had one remaining atom bomb, which later became the Demon Core after killing scientists experimenting on it after the war) was something the Japanese realized they could not fight against. The Japanese were already looking for a way to surrender without losing the emperor by that point (to the US, the Soviets terrified them), so this gave them an out of sorts. For most strategic planners since then- as opposed to insane terrorists who just want body count- the goal was never the total destruction of a city, but knocking out key infrastructure points- oil production (Pasadena near Houston), communications (major city centers like NYC and LA), military bases (naval bases in San Diego, two-for with both Fort Lewis and multiple naval facilities in and around Seattle, the sub base in Bremerton, etc., Fort Benning near Atlanta, Fort Hood, Lackland, and so on), ports, missile silos, air fields, etc. Destroying a major city in it's entirety was considered a waste of resources and took a back seat to favouring specific key strategic targets, especially with the shift away from big bombs like this and Castle Bravo and towards more tactical and lower-yield strategic nukes over the past several decades.

Just to note, the Tzar Bonbe was a multistage hydrogen bomb which, when it exploded, generated a yield that was in the region of 50 megatonnes. The final stage of the bomb had, however, been disabled since the Russians were worried about the fallout it would have generated. If the 3rd stage had been enabled then the bomb's yield would have been in the region of 100 megatonnes (i.e. at least twice as powerful).
How does this affect the radius of destruction? From 50km to a 100km?
@@theluckyegg3613 don't quote me on this, but I think it would be more like 100,000 km, because I'm pretty sure the energy created is exponential per megaton. For example, a 2 megaton bomb I believe is 10x more powerful than a 1 megaton bomb. But again, I'm not an expert in nuclear physics and science is in fact one of my worst subjects, so I'm probably wrong.
@Ivan Roško oh.
@@MrMah-zf6jk Thank you. If this is the case, that would be the end of all life
@@theluckyegg3613 The Tzar bomb is a 1400 times more powerful than Hiroshima the bomb, so raduis went from 1.5km to 35km raduis destruction radius. I'm guessing is has something to do with the energy speading over surface area of a sphere, use E=4(pi)r^2. It would not double the radius of the explosive. My best guess it would have gone from 35km total destruction radius to 50km total destruction raduis.
Great video. Little Boy and Fat Man look like "tactical nukes" compared to Tsar Bomba.
"Tsar Bomba" itself looks like tactical nuke compared to what actual Tsar Bomba was. He's using a test nuke that was dropped, which had lead cover instead of final project. Soviets decided that they've gone too far with that project and actual finished product was never tested. That's why you sometimes see a huge variation in power in various sources. Some refer to test one, some to project one... and many just mistake one for another because they don't care:D
they look like moabs compared to what the Soviets wanted
@-T-X-M- well, it's more of a retired missile, mostly for parades, because that really can't be launched with ease. Although Russia still has functional silos, they mostly use "portable nukes" that are carried in trucks.

Even crazier part was the Soviet government actually wanted a 100mega ton bomb to be tested. Thankfully, the scientists, fearing that such a bomb would literally destroy the planet, stated that 50 megatons was as powerful they could go. Imagine twice that power.
Josif-Noah Nagy-Schuld they feared it would set the atmosphere on fire
You think Russia gives a shit for human rights? Russian history doesn't have much regard for human life. It was 50 megatons because it was simply too heavy to carry a 100 megaton nuclear bomb, they didn't care if the pilots of the plane survived or not.

The shock wave from the Tsar Bomba circled the Earth three times. If dropped on the east or west coast of the U.S., the casualties and monetary damage would be catastrophic.
@-T-X-M- It's a strategic missile, not a tactical one. It has a max capacity of roughly 5MT (15 MIRV with 350KT each). You are a category and an order of magnitude off, respectively. A fair share of those MIRVs are likely to be countermeasures too. Let's say it can flatten California's major cities. Not an entire country. Not arguing about this missile's immense destructive power, mind you.

The thing about the Tzar Bomba is that well it’s a bomb, which means it can’t be moved using a ballistic missile and needs to be transported on a very large plane which is pretty easy to detect and intercept with todays technology so it’s use is very unlikely. Unfortunately ICBMs are still extremely dangerous missiles traveling faster than sound and damn near impossible to intercept.
Not for certain jets... The F-14 was built as a interceptor. They never should have stopped making them
@@bombomos now there is the problem of hypersonic missiles capable of dodging defense systems.

People use the terms "Decimate" and destroy interchangeably.
The word decimate is far from destroying.
Decimation is when you destroy 10% of something hence the word "Deci" at the beginning of the word (Deci means ten)
That meaning is HISTORICAL, noone uses decimated as cut by a tenth nowadays, pretty much the meaning is destroyed a large part of
Decimation was a Roman punishment for their soldiers. Every 10th soldier in the line would be killed.
When the narrator keeps saying decimated, I can't help thinking how wrong he is.

There's actually a location west of there that label's itself on google maps as tsar bomba crater. It's a small lake between 2 bigger lakes. I'm not saying I'm right, just saying that's what I saw.
The world's first nuclear explosion occurred on July 16, 1945, when a plutonium implosion device was tested at a site located 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the plains of the Alamogordo Bombing Range, known as the Jornada del Muerto. The code name for the test was "Trinity."
fun fact: thanks to this bad boi a major war hasn't happened over decades
Americans: watcha got there?
Soviet Union with a state-destroying bomb: a smoothie
That “lake” is the crater the explosion created lmao
there is no crater becuse explosion was 4,5km above ground. the rocks were melt and thats all. dont know if youre sarcastic or not.
Tytus Bombus I would expect there to be a crater because the blast radius is 55km!
you see 55km blast radius is range at which shockwave does any serious damage at all, but it totally does not mean that its strong enough at that distance to push the rocks into themselves and create pressaure to form crater. Craters are mostly from things like asteroids hitting earth. becuse then super fast rock hits the earth to create immense pressaure i mentioned earlier, and its just not the case with atomic bombs, which are actually often detonated above ground so that enrgy doesnt go into moving rocks but rather all over the place creating shockwave that destroys a lot of things on very large radius.
Think of a rock a few km across and now think of that rock moving at 15,000+ Mph That makes a crater not an atomic bomb it just isn't strong enough compared to an asteroid.
D Ramos asteroid of that size wouldnt make a crater it would destroy the earth

Fact check: while Hiroshima was the first nuclear bomb that was dropped, it was not the first nuclear device that was tested. That, of course was the Trinity test on July 16 1945 in what is today the US Army White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico. Trinity was a test "device", not a deliverable weapon. It was detonated while sitting at the top of a 100 foot tall steel tower. Its yield was 21 kilotons, the same yield and basic implosion construction as the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki. The heat from the fireball melted sand in the immediate area around Trinity into a glass like substance called Trinitite.
Buz Aldrin thank you for pointing that out! I thought I got my history wrong when he said the Hiroshima was the first place to experience a nuclear detonation.
I’m assuming he meant it being the first one to be dropped because in another video he talked about the first tested one. He probably just said the wrong phrase.
After Trinity, the first tested one was Little Boy at Hiroshima. It was not tested previously. The scientists were sure the simple gun type design would work. And it did. The implosion design was a very different animal.
Listen closely to what he said - first one ever “used” as in used in war. The others were tested.
+Patrick Wilburn Thank you for sharing your interpretation.
UA-cam algorithm goes wild
The “total destruction” blast radius of the (Czar) bomb was a full 35 km (22 miles) and every building in a small abandoned village 55 km (34 miles away) was also leveled. The HEAT pulse from the explosion’s energy release “can” cause fires in flammable materials such as wood or tar paper shingles out to 60 miles away. I have not read anything that says you will absolutely get 3rd degree burns, though burns definitely would occur.
They calculated a 50% chance of the Tu-95 bomber used being destroyed by the blast and they were 10 km (about six miles) in the sky and 45 km (28 miles) away when the parachuted bomb detonated at an elevation of about 4 km (2.5 miles).
The shock wave circled the Earth 3 times and broke some windows out to 900km in Finland.
I read that the fireball produced by the Tzar Bomba was at least 8 miles in diameter, that's insane!
@@michaelkantner6420
And that was only 50 megatons, they at first we’re going to make it a 100 megaton air burst! I live about 63 miles from Minneapolis/ St. Paul and the radiant heat pulse from the detonation, if they hit there in Minneapolis, would catch flammable stuff as curtains and wooden roofs on fire all the way to here. Imagine if they had used a 100 megaton weapon!
Fortunately that big of a bomb is very inefficient and both the US and Russians only use kiloton range weapons now because they are more accurate now. But kiloton weapons are still bad news, they are way bigger than the Hiroshima or Nagasaki bombs.
@@jacobsparry8525 Well, if you take into account our MIRVS, they could easily equal or surpass the 100 mt range, but still that is overkill. The fireball produced by the Tsar Bomba was 8 miles in diameter, so you can imagine a fireball 16 miles in diameter?? That's what it would have been if they had actually tested the full capacity of the bomb. Just too crazy!
@@jacobsparry8525 I believe you mean 1 Megaton, is what most hydrogen nukes are made off.
The Hiroshima was 15 kilo tons by comparison. The 1 Megaton are almost 100x stronger than those that landed in Japan.
@@michaelkantner6420
Sorry it has taken this long for answering. Nuclear weapons are not like what you have said. Just because the blast heat pulse from a 50 megatons detonation is 8 miles does not mean it will be 16 miles for a 100 megaton weapon. They are NOT geometrically progressive in strength or action. A 100 megatons weapon could haved a blast pulse of less or of way more. I would bet it would be way more as like 20mor 25 miles.
Eventually they would built the Death Star to destroy an entire planet

@@buzaldrin8086 How could you test the same bomb you're about the denote?
The first ever atomic bomb was detonated on the 16th of July, '45. While the 'Little Boy' was detonated over Hiroshima on the 6th of August, '45. The first bomb was a test bomb named 'Trinity'
@@narutoplays4553 The Trinity test device was the same design as the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Unlike Little Boy, a very different and much simpler design, which was never tested before it was dropped on Hiroshima.
Uranium "gun type" was never tested prior to Little Boy being dropped. Fat Man was the Trinity design, implosion. Plutonium. Plutonium could be manufactured in a nuclear reator faster than centrifuges separate U-235
He has a video in the trinity test as well. I think he meant the first bomb used in war.

2020: "OK, that is an idea for the rest of my 3 months."
If the Communists had built that bomb to explode at the originally planned 100 megatons instead of 50 megatons, it really wouldn't have been that much more destructive, because a law of physics states that a bomb's damaging force goes up in proportion to the cube root of its explosive power increase. More clearly stated, from 50 MT to 100 MT, a doubling, the result would be about 25% more destruction.
Thats still 62.5MT which is fucking ridiculously powerful
