@@a.w.1906I did mistake it for Tsar bomba but the part about the parachute being used to give the aircraft enough time to leave is still true although in this case it was much easier
I listened to soldiers talk about how bright the flash really was from test detonations. They said, even with their eyes closed and their hands covering their eyes, they could still see the light through their flesh. They could see the bones in their hands through their closed eyelids, and it was STILL too bright.
what about the atomic tests the British carried out, in the outback of South Australia in the 50's? one of their experiments they needed volunteers for, was to have a pilot to fly a Canberra bomber jet directly through the middle of the mushroom cloud just after it formed, and collect samples of it in wingtip canisters fitted to it for the task.
I’m both in awe and total shock over this. It’s an amazing piece of engineering but the sheer devastation and loss of life would be catastrophic. The fact we felt the need to create such weapons is sad as hell.
It could be argued that the existence of nuclear weapons kept the Cold War from escalating into a full blown war. Neither country was prepared to inadvertently bring an end to the human race. You have to find the line before you know if you’re willing cross it.
It isnt sad that we felt the need to create such weapons, whats really sad is the motivation behind creating such weapons was to use it against ourselves. It would have been a whole different story if all of humanity came together to build such weapons to protect ourselves not destroy ourselves.
Instead of one big bomb you have multiple smaller warheads that probably have a similar payload to the one in the video falling on separate targets simultaneously.
Certainly a lot of improvements to the systems of delivering these things. They're all ICBMs now. Dunno if anyone is motivated to keep making the explosions bigger. Almost would be making more sense to make them smaller to spread the plutonium across more warheads. That could hit more intentional targets. USA hitting a big Japanese city with a nuke was very effective when it was one-sided. In a conflict where both sides have nuke I wonder if they still just bomb cities.. Not like the other side would give up over that, they would just do the exact same thing in return. Mass elimination of military and industry targets would seem more like the winning move, as much as anyone could "win" after nukes start flying everywhere.

@@markmiller6402 the footage is far enough from the area where things are completely vaporized; you seem to be in disbelief that atomic weapons exists, and that humans can build something that can stand that shockwave, last answer from me.
RDS-37 is not a Tsar bomba! RDS-37 was the Soviet Union's first two-stage hydrogen bomb, first tested on 22 November 1955. The weapon had a nominal yield of approximately 3 megatons. It was scaled down to 1.6 megatons for the live test. The weapon was air-dropped at Semipalatinsk Test Site, Kazakhstan, making it the first air-dropped two-stage thermonuclear test.
Fun Fact: The Mushroom Cloud from the Tsar Bomba was taller than Mount Everest, and shattered windows all the way in Norway. The bomb was also HALF the yield that the Soviets originally wanted to use. Edit because I keep getting notifications from people trying to correct me: I'm well aware that the bomb depicted in this particular video is *not* the Tsar Bomba; my original comment was made so that I could share information about the highest yield nuclear device ever detonated by humanity (as of the date of this edit) to people who were unaware of said information. I did so because I wanted to spark interest in the subject, hoping people would research the subject, because I personally believe that people should be aware the destructive capabilities of weapons capable of causing the extinction of our species. Also, I'm a bit of a history nerd and just wanted to share it because to me personally, reading about the history of two superpowers competing to see who can make the biggest explosion as part of a wider dxxx-measuring contest is interesting.
I think what's terrifying is how we went from that level of power, to today, where there's barely 400 ICBMs active in the US, and barely 300 in Russia, and each of those got nerfed to the point where even if every country in the world launched their nukes, there would still be enough resources and anger to keep the war going for decades. These explosions from the 1960's are in megatons, nukes today are in kilotons, this is NOT an achievement, the whole point of MAD was that a nuclear war was unwinnable, well now all ICBMs are basically long range tactical weapons, we no longer have the power to level cities, and that's something to be afraid of, because now more than ever, nuclear war is winnable, and it shouldn't be.
EVEN THE FOUNDER OF THE BOMB told that this weapon should never been invented. It was made for killing german nationalists na#zi But they defeated them without it..
1:10 this is the town Kurchatov located in Kazakhstan. The camera is most likely mounted on the roof of the town administration building. The camera is facing southwest, looking over the town square and the Kurchatov monument. The explosion happens ~66.4km away in Utebay at the Semipalatinsk Test Site, aka the Polygon.
Have the soviet union or the usa ever tested a real aerial hydrogen bomb that contains uranium 238? The Tsar bomb was stripped of Uranium 238 to make it 50 % weaker.
Just imagine being in the silent plane after you detached the warhead. Just waiting for the blast but also not knowing if you’re gonna escape it. Probably one of the most eerie feeling ever.
Guys they were probably clearly taking about bombers. They fly much higher than normal planes. This hydrogen bomb class is probably too old to have drones existing for testing use of somewhat. "Silent plane" is probably referring to the person who has to sneak into other countries borders under their radars and stuff. Aslo talking about bomber👆 But uh.. They probably could have used drones in this video. Idk.
Those three men were not the only ones in the frame. There were a few more people if you look closely. And a dog ran from right to left just when the men fell down.
Interesting fact, the sound of the blast is synced up in post production. If you were an observer standing where the camera was, you'd hear very little until the blast wave hit around the 1 minute mark. Of course, this would look odd so at some point someone brought the blast sound forward to occur at the same time as the detonation.
I wish they would use realistic sound. It would actually be more impressive if you saw the flash in utter silence and the noise came later. I once saw a TV mock-up of what actually happens in a nuclear explosion if you're some miles from the hypocentre. There was a burning bright light and people ran around on fire and screaming. The building didn't actually get blown apart until the blast struck more than 10 seconds later. I was about 12 years old when I watched this in the early 80s and it's stuck in my head ever since.
@@ZadenZane, I agree, but this was made for a Soviet audience and I’m not sure the average Soviet citizen would have understood that delay between explosion and sound, which according to Sakharov took 90 seconds to reach him 20 miles away.

He just made billions on that.
BFFs Engineer Tsar would be less effective at war for being to strong. They detonated about 2 miles above the atmosphere for Max damage on the ground though it wouldn't of done as much more damage then the ones dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima by Americans. Why is this the bomb is a thousand times more stronger how? It's too powerful and I guess the power that comes out in the Shockwave prevents a lot of the power from flowing down. It blew up and kind of created a safety net or like a fabric of space-time if you will lol! You would have to blow it up much closer to the ground which makes it easily interceptable, but BOY IS IT SWEET TO WATCH AND SEE THE NUMBERS LOL! I like bombs but not on Humanity. Like if China wanted to test one of there New Age thermonuclear bombs that they say will make the Tsar look like a firecracker just like Tsar did the "fat boy" where is safely on Earth if any can we test it lol! No not in the polar caps because we already got too much flooding those polar caps are melting. Too many islands in the mid-pacific but maybe somewhere in the mid Pacific or the southern Atlanta. Dude I paid to watch that shit live on TV what is a statistical readout just DON'T THROW IT ON PEOPLE. Nuclear bombs are just awesome shows of power and proof actual proof of E=MC² what Einstein first said he knew was correct mathematically but was theoretical and would still come to Great use even though you physically wouldn't physically be able to replicate what he (Einstein) knew was the truth. You just couldn't see it like him like he did.

"Look at these men standing on the road, they feel safe because they are far from ground zero, now they are going to pay for they complacency.." Jesus, i hope this guy is resting in peace
This bomb is only about 2 megatons, the soviets also developed the Tsar Bomba, which was 50 megatons, and there's speculation nowadays that the Russian Federation is developing a 100 megaton salted thermonuclear bomb.
@@nuklobster7592 The Tsar Bomba was a 100 megaton bomb but only 57 megatons when it was blasted. The scientists had fear that they blew up the planet. [edited]
Just for some perspective, the camera is 33 miles away in the shot of the village. If you detonated this bomb 6 miles into France at the channel crossing, and then stood on the English Coast in Dover, this is what you would see. And this bomb had a yield of 1.6 megatons... Imagine the power of the Tsar Bomba with a yield of 58 megatons (originally designed to be a hundred)
@Kilo Byte there is just one downside to it. Eventually it will destroy all life on earth. Before the first world war there was also a policy quite similar to the MAD policy. Two enormous armies were to act as each others deterrent so there would never be a war..
The USA and Russia both only “officially” use a few megaton yield bombs with a ton of kiloton tactical weapons. The Russian Tsar Bomba could have been 100 megatons but it was only 50, ironically the pilots almost didn’t escape the testing zone. There was a hypothetical “bigger bomb” than the Hydrogen Bomb that our guys wanted to make but they ruled it would be too crazy.
I think the us still mount a 1 megaton warhead on the minute man missiles but for the most part warheads are typically in the 450 kiloton range allowing a missile to carry more, China used to have a 25 mt ICBM. These day with precision MIRV's with missiles carrying 8-10 warheads it makes the use of multi megaton munitions redundant though they would still be used as an EMP strike as a precursor to a nuclear assault to try and blind the enemies radar tracking and communications.
R-36M (SS-18) series of missiles would be the most fearsome Russian variants in my memory banks. In MIRV mode it carries 10 independent warheads beteen 5 to 700 Kilotons, or a single warhead of 20 Megaton. The U.S had a version with 300K warheads that is currently decomissioned. Currently the Russians have 46 of the type 15A18M that can carry up to 20 warheads, each independent. It is pretty much bye bye if they hit the switch.
I live close to a major city with a nearby, very important Air Force base. Not close enough to be killed instantly by the blast, but just close enough to have time to look out the window, see the oncoming shockwave, and contemplate my life for a few seconds before my house gets blown a few miles downwind. Delightful stuff.
Its FILM. Film hold its quality even after years and years and years. While VHS or digital cameras loose their complete quality in a span of few years. Film isnt just only higher resolution but hold its quality even after years if stored properly. Why do you guess some 1950-40s Hollywood movies are still razor sharp even after 70 years.
This is not a product of African thonking...also the historical Carbon footprint of Africa..is relatively non-existent....good for Africa...or bad...time will tell
In the event of nuclear war your best bet is to be at ground zero. You'll be vaporized so fast the feeling of pain will not have time to travel from the surface of your skin to your brain. The living will envy the dead.

Grimzo Reap What those videos don't show are the thyroid tumors many of them developed. The OP was saying that it's best to be at ground zero, and all videos of tests like Plumbob I've seen have people stationed OUTSIDE ground zero heading towards it. Many people were vaporised in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and I would rather have that fate than get cancer in a world where treatment is scarce due to lack of supplies and most hospitals in my area being destroyed.
In reality from all those camera viewpoints the explosion was in absolute silence because it was so far away. It took the shockwave up to several minutes to reach them.
I always wonder how the footage survived, as if it was live streamed. Kinda like how they had drone shots in the 80s but, remember kids aliens don't exist.
@Bryan Kirby Look at the timing. They go down when the air blast hits, not before. Probably pretty hard, too, although to be fair I expect I wouldn't be trying to get up in a hurry either.
That sound and light arrive at the same moment prove, that it's a fake footage. The sound would arrive 70km away from ground zero 3 1/2 minute later...

In 1950 the population of Nagasaki was 241,805 people.
Depends how you look like it. There was a doctrine called M.A.D. Short of Mutual Assured Destruction. Both USA and Soviet Union threatened that if they were attacked, they would destroy the world. It is possible this doctrine prevented World War 3. What is mad though, that this weapon becomes available to less and less rational people.
@Adolf Hitler well yup if you guys want to again throw dark mould on your faces again just like the Vietnam war , you can always try it but the only difference is that this time against Iran you are gonna have a much bigger ass thrashing than last time.
@Adolf Hitler Country suck ?? Dude if you look at that way then there is no such thing as perfect country in the world , every country in this world sucks in one way or the another.
@Adolf Hitler that's of course their culture is not that much respectable but in terms of military they do have one of the best militaries on planet but in terms of warfare they don't always have the upper hand than others like in terms of land warfare , nuclear warfare , cyber warfare , missile technology , submarine technology , electronic warfare in which Russia is far ahead than every nation on planet . And of course just having military power doesn't mean that you can overcome everything just for example:- take USSR which was the strongest military power mankind has ever known in the entire history of it's existence and with the largest and most sophisticated nuclear arsanal consisting of the most dangerous and destructive weapons imaginable still broke apart into 15 republics without a single shot fired and at that time neither it's world stongest military nor it's nucler arsenal was able to prevent that from happening.
The mass of an atom is teenie tiny itty bitty small, but then you multiply it by the speed of light and if that alone wasn't enough - the speed of light SQUARED.... then tell yourself it's not just one atom, 238g of Uranium has 6.022 x 10 ^23rd atoms.... we are only seeing the smallest fraction of the reaction because there's no way to keep the core together for long enough before it just turns to gas and diffuses away.

Not what I've read. I believe it originally designed to be 100 megatons but they halved it because there is no point as the blast was limited by the height of our atmosphere. It still ended up being over half at 57MT.
"Operation Mockingbird" began in the early '50's and was officially cancelled in 1983, before "UA-cam", or the "Internet" for that matter even existed.

Translation (kind of): "We watched this from 77 km distance. Some people were closer. One soldier who was in a ditch got enulfed by sand, and one soldier died. People from nearest settle were taken out of buildings (evacuated?)." "That's how the explosion looked like viewed from town Kurchatov, the centre of Semipalatinsk Test Site. The town was shook by dazzling blast wave. All windows were shattered. This is a footage from the film that was made to be shown to country top leadership. Text was read by, ofcourse, Levitan (Yuri Levitan)." "Back to the Test Site town. Blast wave is coming here too. Do you see the group of people who stand on the road? Standing far away from the explosion, they feel calm. But they will pay for such complacency."
Because the world's leaders were insane enough to think that more = war won. The reality, is that both sides would lose, and that whatever was left of humanity would be reduced to a pre-industrial level, assuming the planet-wide winter didn't kill them off first.
Zenith initially having more was better when a single country had it, but now it's just mutual suicide agreement if any one country tries to use large numbers
SovietPanda Yes, but my point was, you can destroy your enemy with a superior number of missiles, but if your cities are hit by even a small number in return, then it's game over. No power, no running water, no food, no medicine, global temperatures well below freezing... that's no victory.
You create a star on earth, for a short time at least. As that fusion happens for just a tiny fraction of a second the sky lights up like the sun came up. Pretty incredible sight as the town edging into darkness is lit up again like the middle of the day. All that energy. If we can control a fusion reaction instead of having it blow up chunks of the planet then we're one step towards solving humanity's energy problem- for centuries.
Oui dans quelques décennies les nations riches et a la pointe de la technologie développeront l'énergie provenant de la fusion nucléaire. Et ça changera la face du globe comme la fission la fait avant.
Most people can't wrap their brain around how big 1.6 megaton is. The video fools many in to thinking that is just a couple or maybe five miles outside of town.

Scientifically the technology is fascinating. As a weapon scary. Did some research about this test. The test location is about 70km away from the village shown at the end of the footage. Living close to Rotterdam that would mean that we'd see this immense fireball and mushroom cloud when this bomb would be dropped on Amsterdam... Worked at the European space agency with a rocket scientist who traveled frequently to Kazachstan to do research on a former Sovjet ICBM. The fuel tank of the 1st stage of that rocket would be used as the fuel tank of the 2nd stage of the VEGA rocket. So I called the guy at one point to discuss where test samples of some materials would have to be send to and he told me he was at a former Sovjet ICBM base. I heard rumors that the 1st nukes would be dropped on the Rotterdam ports because of the perfect infrastructure and many refineries and asked him if he had seen the trajectory of these ICBM's. He confirmed he had. And that indeed the 1st missles were aimed for the port of Rotterdam. Living near Rotterdam I am glad the Cold War never turned hot ☺️

By testing they've ensured that as it is and every copy of it after has a high chance of success.

Do you want to feel sadder?
Check in Wikipedia what a MIRV is, how it works, when I did it, it was one of those moments I lost faith in humanity 😞
It could be argued that the existence of nuclear weapons kept the Cold War from escalating into a full blown war. Neither country was prepared to inadvertently bring an end to the human race. You have to find the line before you know if you’re willing cross it.
It isnt sad that we felt the need to create such weapons, whats really sad is the motivation behind creating such weapons was to use it against ourselves. It would have been a whole different story if all of humanity came together to build such weapons to protect ourselves not destroy ourselves.
This is saving lives. It's saving people from itself
That’s what 65 year old technology was like. Just imagine how much these have “improved” over the years.
I was thinking the same.
Instead of one big bomb you have multiple smaller warheads that probably have a similar payload to the one in the video falling on separate targets simultaneously.
Certainly a lot of improvements to the systems of delivering these things. They're all ICBMs now.
Dunno if anyone is motivated to keep making the explosions bigger. Almost would be making more sense to make them smaller to spread the plutonium across more warheads. That could hit more intentional targets.
USA hitting a big Japanese city with a nuke was very effective when it was one-sided. In a conflict where both sides have nuke I wonder if they still just bomb cities.. Not like the other side would give up over that, they would just do the exact same thing in return. Mass elimination of military and industry targets would seem more like the winning move, as much as anyone could "win" after nukes start flying everywhere.

@@tametz sorry, I couldn't pick a better word to translate as close as I can. There is some old literature word which is hard to translate. Pay for something like 'calm overconfidence and not giving a fuck'.
If you mean how is it fit in the movie, my guess it's just staged to simulate 'unsuspecting people reaction to the blast', and narrator is playing along.
It's basically saying that these people will be dead because they think they're safe. The shockwave will affect these people from the radius.

RDS-37 is not a Tsar bomba! RDS-37 was the Soviet Union's first two-stage hydrogen bomb, first tested on 22 November 1955. The weapon had a nominal yield of approximately 3 megatons. It was scaled down to 1.6 megatons for the live test. The weapon was air-dropped at Semipalatinsk Test Site, Kazakhstan, making it the first air-dropped two-stage thermonuclear test.
Thank you. Many will still think otherwise.

Fun Fact: The Mushroom Cloud from the Tsar Bomba was taller than Mount Everest, and shattered windows all the way in Norway. The bomb was also HALF the yield that the Soviets originally wanted to use.
Edit because I keep getting notifications from people trying to correct me: I'm well aware that the bomb depicted in this particular video is *not* the Tsar Bomba; my original comment was made so that I could share information about the highest yield nuclear device ever detonated by humanity (as of the date of this edit) to people who were unaware of said information. I did so because I wanted to spark interest in the subject, hoping people would research the subject, because I personally believe that people should be aware the destructive capabilities of weapons capable of causing the extinction of our species. Also, I'm a bit of a history nerd and just wanted to share it because to me personally, reading about the history of two superpowers competing to see who can make the biggest explosion as part of a wider dxxx-measuring contest is interesting.

It’s crazy how nuclear weapons are an actual thing. Truly terrifying that you have to know something of extreme power that can level a city exists
What's crazy is human beings made the first one and though yes let's make 75 plus thousand
I think what's terrifying is how we went from that level of power, to today, where there's barely 400 ICBMs active in the US, and barely 300 in Russia, and each of those got nerfed to the point where even if every country in the world launched their nukes, there would still be enough resources and anger to keep the war going for decades. These explosions from the 1960's are in megatons, nukes today are in kilotons, this is NOT an achievement, the whole point of MAD was that a nuclear war was unwinnable, well now all ICBMs are basically long range tactical weapons, we no longer have the power to level cities, and that's something to be afraid of, because now more than ever, nuclear war is winnable, and it shouldn't be.

Why did they fell down?
Interesting fact, the sound of the blast is synced up in post production. If you were an observer standing where the camera was, you'd hear very little until the blast wave hit around the 1 minute mark. Of course, this would look odd so at some point someone brought the blast sound forward to occur at the same time as the detonation.
I wish they would use realistic sound. It would actually be more impressive if you saw the flash in utter silence and the noise came later.
I once saw a TV mock-up of what actually happens in a nuclear explosion if you're some miles from the hypocentre. There was a burning bright light and people ran around on fire and screaming. The building didn't actually get blown apart until the blast struck more than 10 seconds later. I was about 12 years old when I watched this in the early 80s and it's stuck in my head ever since.
@@ZadenZane, I agree, but this was made for a Soviet audience and I’m not sure the average Soviet citizen would have understood that delay between explosion and sound, which according to Sakharov took 90 seconds to reach him 20 miles away.

Well this was nearly 65 years ago. Who knows what they have now. Very scary times we live in.
They have 100 megaton hydrogen bomb.
We have a Hulk.
The USA and Russia both only “officially” use a few megaton yield bombs with a ton of kiloton tactical weapons. The Russian Tsar Bomba could have been 100 megatons but it was only 50, ironically the pilots almost didn’t escape the testing zone. There was a hypothetical “bigger bomb” than the Hydrogen Bomb that our guys wanted to make but they ruled it would be too crazy.
I think the us still mount a 1 megaton warhead on the minute man missiles but for the most part warheads are typically in the 450 kiloton range allowing a missile to carry more, China used to have a 25 mt ICBM. These day with precision MIRV's with missiles carrying 8-10 warheads it makes the use of multi megaton munitions redundant though they would still be used as an EMP strike as a precursor to a nuclear assault to try and blind the enemies radar tracking and communications.
@@Bospy1 You mean that "project pluto SLAM" madness? That really was a doomsday machine.
R-36M (SS-18) series of missiles would be the most fearsome Russian variants in my memory banks. In MIRV mode it carries 10 independent warheads beteen 5 to 700 Kilotons, or a single warhead of 20 Megaton. The U.S had a version with 300K warheads that is currently decomissioned.
Currently the Russians have 46 of the type 15A18M that can carry up to 20 warheads, each independent. It is pretty much bye bye if they hit the switch.
I live close to a major city with a nearby, very important Air Force base.

Fun fact, if nuke is detonated on surface, bunker won't save you
It will get consumed by the fireball
Fun fact: the original bomb was supposed to be 3 megatons, but for the test, it was reduced to 1.6
Not what I've read. I believe it originally designed to be 100 megatons but they halved it because there is no point as the blast was limited by the height of our atmosphere. It still ended up being over half at 57MT.
Actually....I see what you're saying. This footage isn't the bomb you're talking about.

Speaker says: " Do you see a group of people on the road? Being far from the blast site, they feel calm. They have to pay for their complacency"
last 10 seconds are really scary (that black sky)
Azarack Nargothrond Marcelo the sheer size of something powerful in the hands of billions of people , when you consider that the world FILLED with psychos like Stephen paddock and guys like that... seems to be only a matter of time until someone sets these bombs off.
I said the same thing
It looked apocalyptic. Just black smog filled sky so wide it looked like night, and bone chilling sounds of winds of destruction. Every time I see it all I can say is “This is the epitome of unnecessary “ Nukes are so over kill it’s redundant to even state that it’s over kill it’s beyond that.
Yikes!

"We watched this from 77 km distance. Some people were closer. One soldier who was in a ditch got enulfed by sand, and one soldier died. People from nearest settle were taken out of buildings (evacuated?)."
"That's how the explosion looked like viewed from town Kurchatov, the centre of Semipalatinsk Test Site. The town was shook by dazzling blast wave. All windows were shattered. This is a footage from the film that was made to be shown to country top leadership. Text was read by, ofcourse, Levitan (Yuri Levitan)."
"Back to the Test Site town. Blast wave is coming here too. Do you see the group of people who stand on the road? Standing far away from the explosion, they feel calm. But they will pay for such complacency."

The nuclear arms race is like two men standing in a puddle of gasoline, one man holding one match, one man holding ten...
And both of them trying to get as many more matches as they can.
Because the world's leaders were insane enough to think that more = war won. The reality, is that both sides would lose, and that whatever was left of humanity would be reduced to a pre-industrial level, assuming the planet-wide winter didn't kill them off first.
Zenith initially having more was better when a single country had it, but now it's just mutual suicide agreement if any one country tries to use large numbers
SovietPanda Yes, but my point was, you can destroy your enemy with a superior number of missiles, but if your cities are hit by even a small number in return, then it's game over. No power, no running water, no food, no medicine, global temperatures well below freezing... that's no victory.
Motherbrain Jr that is a beautiful metaphor that sums it up perfectly. That's going in my repertoire...

You create a star on earth, for a short time at least. As that fusion happens for just a tiny fraction of a second the sky lights up like the sun came up. Pretty incredible sight as the town edging into darkness is lit up again like the middle of the day. All that energy. If we can control a fusion reaction instead of having it blow up chunks of the planet then we're one step towards solving humanity's energy problem- for centuries.
that's right
Oui dans quelques décennies les nations riches et a la pointe de la technologie développeront l'énergie provenant de la fusion nucléaire. Et ça changera la face du globe comme la fission la fait avant.
это да, очень хорошая идея, её нужно реализовать
we can't
I think we already use nucler power for that
"The light was so bright, the sun might as well of not even shown that day."
Most people can't wrap their brain around how big 1.6 megaton is. The video fools many in to thinking that is just a couple or maybe five miles outside of town.
If you got in a car and drove for half an hour at highway speed from the point of the drop, you likely would not make it. 25-30 miles is not far enough away unless you are in a reinforced structure.
This is truly one of the best examples of what a nuclear winter could bring. Insane.
I don't see a nuclear winter tho in this video?
@@khein2204 go to the very end of the video and look at the darkness of the cloud. I'm saying it's an example of how much darkness and cloud cover would hang over us if there WAS a nuclear winter. I'm not saying there's one in the video lmao
@@jaredbrown4851 that's what a nuclear bomb could bring, not what a nuclear winter could bring, there's a difference, darkness and cloud cover is the "cause" of nuclear winter, not the result, that's what I'm talking about

@@khein2204 Actually that's also wrong. Nuclear Winter is the possible result of widespread Nuclear War.
Those soldiers at the end just dropped dead instantly from the pressure wave. Didn't even see a flash in that frame

I havent been using plastic bags for the last 7 years and i used to think that my contribution to the environment matters....
It Is Possible Too late...You should've done that a LONG, LONG time ago. Then it would make a huge differnce. Now a tiny differnce, you need more then just
YOU helping now. To make an actual difference.
It wouldn’t matter. It’s very unwise to entrust the fate of the environment onto human’s self-conscious. It only take one guy who overuse plastic ma other not environmentally friendly action to undo 10 of you guys work. Instead we should just continue to live normally because when time come science would have figured things out already.
That's good for you and for the environment.
dasdasdad adadad Sadly.
A Random person Are you saying because everyone else is fucking up the world you may aswell fuck it up too?
Scientifically the technology is fascinating. As a weapon scary. Did some research about this test. The test location is about 70km away from the village shown at the end of the footage. Living close to Rotterdam that would mean that we'd see this immense fireball and mushroom cloud when this bomb would be dropped on Amsterdam...
Worked at the European space agency with a rocket scientist who traveled frequently to Kazachstan to do research on a former Sovjet ICBM. The fuel tank of the 1st stage of that rocket would be used as the fuel tank of the 2nd stage of the VEGA rocket.
So I called the guy at one point to discuss where test samples of some materials would have to be send to and he told me he was at a former Sovjet ICBM base. I heard rumors that the 1st nukes would be dropped on the Rotterdam ports because of the perfect infrastructure and many refineries and asked him if he had seen the trajectory of these ICBM's. He confirmed he had. And that indeed the 1st missles were aimed for the port of Rotterdam. Living near Rotterdam I am glad the Cold War never turned hot ☺️
forget about the cold war..it's hotter today than ever !!
@@paulgentile1024 Yeah 35°C here in Poland few days ago. Now it's a bit better
Jesus man.
You and me both.
You’d have been lucky then. You want to die instantly in a nuclear war, and the epicentre of the blast is perfect.
did anyone notice the dog at the end after the blast wave?
I'm sure that had absolutely no effect on our atmosphere. As well as the other 2000+ nukes detonated on the ground, underground, in the oceans, in the atmosphere, in space.
I've often wondered why so many tests were conducted. Once the principle is proven why continue? Propaganda??
@@paulanderson7796 Very late, but I imagine they want to ensure their models/products actually work. What if they made this but it had some critical flaw overlooked and come time to use it, it failed? Boom. They lose and the opponents have less damage, or none if they only launched the defective untested nukes. By testing they've ensured that as it is and every copy of it after has a high chance of success. One may still fail due for a variety of reasons, but they do know one worked in the past and they have a high probability of succeeding in ending the world with the rest.
@@theimperious1 the destructive power of nuclear weapons has been decreasing at a rate inversely proportional to the accuracy of targeting and delivery.
Early weapons had to be huge in order to have some chances of damaging the desired target.
The delivery systems were primitive.
Take the Tsar Bomba. There's no missile even to this day that could deliver it. Pure propaganda machinery.
It turns out it was the hair spray
And we wonder why the world has cancer. Thanks guys 👍🇺🇲🇷🇺
