The specially modified Tu-95V bomber was flying maximum power, and they were given a 50% chance to survive the mission. When the shock wave hit the airplane, it lost speed some, and lost considerable altitude due to the lower pressure behind the blast front. The pilot, Major (later promoted to the Soviet equivalent of Lieutenant Colonel) Andrey Durnovtsev, retired after flying this mission. He died in 1976, aged only 53.
They also had to paint the plane a reflective white to mitigate the thermal radiation from the blast, as well as dropping it while climbing to sort of loft it and use a parachute to slow its decent. It was a hell of an effort, and still 50/50 odds. Totally impractical weapon, the 100MT would have lost most of that extra energy to space, and been no more "effective" than the 50MT. I remember reading somewhere that the 100MT's fireball would have had a diameter equal to the thickness of Earth's atmosphere.
The TU-22 has ability to carry 24t of bombs, the Tsar Bomb was 27t. You will have a lot of problem to carry it. The fireball was about 8km, the village 55km from center was completely destroyed. Shock wave was detected even 700km away. And seismic wave goes around the world 3 times.
It carried 54tons of fuel too so it’s not like it would be over weight. Also, the American delivery method for bombing like that is “Toss Bombing” it has a Wikipedia page, check it out.
That was due to Andrei Sakharov having enough courage to tell Kruschev that 100MT was just too big a blast. That took juevos rancheros. It could be "dialed up" to 100MT however.
I believe they did that in order to give the crew of the bomber at least a 50% chance of surviving. If they had used the 100 Mt design, they didn't have any means of delivering it to the target without destroying whichever plane did that job. They could, of course, have done a static test, but I think they wanted to demonstrate an actual weapon rather than the principle.
Also look at closeup of the Crossroads-Baker detonation. If you look close, there's USS Saratoga being tossed like a twig by the splash. An aircraft carrier tossed like a twig, let that sink in.
6:40 the Kuzkina Mat' (Russian nickname, equivalent of "we'll show you") was a shockingly big explosion. The mushroom cloud was 40 miles tall and 65 miles across. The shock wave was detectable on its third trip around the world.
Interessting thing about the TSAR bomb. They planned to make it 100 megatons. But they where affraid to ignite the whole athmosphere of our planet. Pretty similar to the first nuke ever ignited. Also interessting: The tungusga event, that thing that happend in russia and nobody actually knows what it was, was even bigger. Probably an astroid.
wiki One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 km (170 mi). The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 km (430 mi) away; windowpanes were partially broken for distances up to 900 kilometres (560 mi). Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage at even greater distances, breaking windows in Norway and Finland.[55] Despite being detonated 4.2 km (3 mi) above ground, its seismic body wave magnitude was estimated at 5.0-5.25.
Interestingly the Tsar Bomb was likely cleaner in fallout terms than Castle Bravo even though it was about 3x more powerful as it was 97% fusion which has significantly less fallout and 3% fission compared to Castle Bravo which was 80-85% fission. This probably contributed to documented significant health consequences from CB while none known for Tsar.
CB was detonated at surface in a shot cab on a coral island. Radiation case was U-238, which fussions under fast neutron bombardment from fusion. So tremendously contaminating from fission products and pulverized coral. Tsar Bomba was detonated at 13,000 feet, and had a lead radiation case. It would have been 100 MT with a U-238 radiation case. Fireball did not touch the ground.
@@SchamaliDhali The US collected and analyzed the fallout from Tsar Bomba, so its configuration could be quite accurately determined without any need to consult the USSR. Airborne and naval radiological sampling began before the USSR detonated its first nuclear device in 1949, and is a key technology in monitoring the progress of each nuclear state's capabilities.
I once modelled this bomb hitting London on a prediction program. I had wind from the north. The fallout covered everything from London to Moscow and spread from northern Sweden to Italy.....
14:08 I’m shocked usually a f18 removes a pixel of health from the carrier. I think having all the planes exploding at the same time majorly killed it. bird is truly a hero
The Tsar bomba also demonstrated the concept of the "Backyard nuclear bomb" or rather if you built a big enough and layered enough fission-fusion-fission bomb you never had to worry about the delivery of it. Just if the winds were right, you could blow it up in your backyard and take out your adversary with the effects from it.
Testing by the U.S. in the open Pacific showed that a nuclear blast under the surface is far more effective against ships than an airburst. So you did good!
@grimreapers Forgot to say Cap, that singing was on point. And Simba said " you used to make mistakes for the girls " lol, I actually used to do that in school. I would get blank CD's and burn songs onto them with " Limewire " . Little did I know at the time that Limewire would give my cpu AIDS lol .
@grimreapers the SR-72 could be like the end boss, but it would be cool to use other planes too like the BoneR and other faster bombers. Just a thought.
@@grimreapersIf it is I haven't ran across one of your videos, but is the SR-71 or 72 in DCS? That'd be neat to do something with that if you haven't man, at least maybe I'll give you a awesome idea for something
I remember the Hustler, I had it for the articles until my Mom made me throw it out. About the Tsar Bomba, it is suspected that it was a three-stage thermonuclear weapon, most other fusion weapons are two-stage.
Ya know, I believe way back when, the DOD determined that anything over 15 megatons blew all it's extra energy out into space... So your blast model would be incorrect in earth's atmosphere.
Any explosion is essentially spherical, so at least half the energy is directed upwards and effectively wasted. Maybe another five to ten percent is at such a shallow angle that it's pretty much ineffective, so only about 40-45% results in "useful" destruction of the target. You get a more efficient use of nuclear material by detonating a bunch of smaller warheads than one big one, one of the reasons why MIRV started happening.
Because of your past video Dance of the Vampires, I have started re-reading Red Storm Rising. The Backfire has a very prominent roll in that novel. I have been trying to recreate some of the other scenarios within the limits of what DCS can do. So many other scenarios would be possible if we had the Scandinavian map! That's the one I have been pining for the most lately. But going against the Imperial Japanese fleet with nuclear weapons is one I could have NEVER dreamed up. lol Only the mind of Super Cap can create such a masterpiece.
The Tu-22, and the Tu-22M were almost completely different aircraft. "Dasvadonya, Tovarich!!" How this plays out. Hawaii is never attacked, the US then focuses all its effort into the war in Europe, and the war is over in early 1943 with Japan never being able to rebuild its fleet because of sanctions. The first cassettes I bought was the Metallica black album, AC/DC Live, and the Star Trek: TNG, Encounter at Far Point soundtrack.
The _Tsar Bomba_ as tested was rated by the Soviets as 50 megatons. As it was their bomb, I think their estimate has priority over the American estimates; they had all the instruments and stuff set up in Novoya Zemlya to measure it, and the US had only one spy plane (which, it is rumoured, got its paint scorched). It was originally designed as a 100-Mt bomb, but the uranium tamper was replaced by a lead one for the test to give the TU-95V _Bear_ a chance of surviving the blast. After the detonation, the Limited Test-Ban Treaty was agreed between the US and USSR, but the US expected the Russians to break it, so they designed two very high yield bombs: the prosaically-named Big Test Vehicle, designed to completely fill a B-52's bomb-bay; and the _Flashback,_ which required the bomb-bay doors to be taken off. It isn't known what the yields would have been, since the Soviets didn't break the treaty, so the US didn't have the excuse to actually build their bombs. Further test bans were agreed between the two nations, eventually banning all tests anywhere except underground, and those of limited yield.
I'm gonna be late to this show, but what you're looking to do to adjust for that weapon drift (like it matters) is called PUP for pull-up/push over. Approach at 50 thousand, nose up at weapon release to 'loft' the bomb, dive the delivery aircraft down to 20 thousand at full burn and haul ass. You'll give your delivery aircraft an extra 90 seconds to escape....head for land! You should be able to achieve approximately 72-75 miles. Big difference between a Backfire run and a BUFF run and the -52's can survive this.
As an old nuclear target analyst, the ultra-huge Tsara Bomba was more a prestige project than an actual operational weapon. I'd rather have 57, one megaton bombs than one big, 57 Mt one. The destructive power of a nuclear device follows the inverse square law. So, it makes much more sense to use a pattern of lower-yield devices rather than just make a bigger bomb. Plus, putting all your eggs in one basket is risky. Your aircraft could be shot down, have mechanical trouble, or the bomb could malfunction somehow. If you had a fizzle rate of 5%, for 57 devices, the mission would still be effective. If your lone 57 Mt bomb malfunctions, you have lost a lot of fissile material for no effect.
"We'll be lucky to hit anything with any of them (conventional bombs)"........ that's the spirit. 😂 Also, with the radiation, will Horror Island transmogrify into The Island of Dr. Moreau ?
Tsar bomba was known to be the largest bomb since built. The pilots, at the time, needed to travel away once it drop to the site. Even though they attached a parachute to the bomb, the outcome of the plane had minor damage.
Cap and all your crew thank for this/all of your videos but my big thanks goes to your Grim Reaper who said the Tu-22 looked like a F 111 you made me shout at the screen with joy that some one else could see that resemblance. Please note I am English and I don't shout, well not much. Cheers boys🤘

Now Cap, the true greatness of magnetic tape can only be realized in the "glory" that was the cassette to 3.5mm headphone adapter! The amazing hisses and whines they produce regardless of volume setting after sitting in the head unit of your car for about a week (or less) or until the fake spokes jam and the head unit either eats or ejects it. Alternatively - having to spend an hour ripping your VCR apart to remove your favorite movie because the tape head didn't let go of it so you have to make it, without destroying the tape or the tape head in the process and put it back together after. Also - nuking the nuclear powered lizard (Godzilla)...Do you want Turbo Godzilla? Because that's how you get Turbo Godzilla
Why nuke maps exist lol. About 650k instantly killed, an additional 1.25 million wounded. There are om average 4.5million people in the light blast damage radius who would likely all suffer from radiation poisoning. It would have been the single greatest loss of life event in all of human history, Japan probably never would have recovered.
I wish this game had a better representation of the fireball and mushroom cloud for nuclear weapons. Incidentally, look up Operation Crossroads, when the US bombed a fleet of surplus ships at Bikini Atoll with a couple of Nagasaki-scale bombs (about 1/2000th the yield of _Tsar Bomba)._ Also check out the photos of the aircraft carrier USS _Independence_ after the first test.
In 1926, the US had a captured German warship, and test bombed it from the air. The initial response was to scoff at the sinking - the ship was neither maneuvering nor firing back, and didn't have a crew aboard to affect damage control. Aside from being able to hit a target, the demo seemed to prove nothing. Of course, WWII would go on to show how effective aircraft could be in naval combat. Twenty years later, another German vessel is in US hands (Prinz Eugen) and once again its used for a test target. After both an airburst atom bomb, and an underwater detonation of a second - the vessel seemed fine. A broken mast, a dislodged secondary gun, and a slow leak on some bearings - nothing a good damage control team couldn't handle in a few hours. It seemed that the new weapon was also not a great threat. Then the doctors with Geiger counters got involved and realized how contaminated the vessel was. The damage control crew might have fixed the ship in a few hours, but would be dead in a few days after that.
The only reason the bear that dropped the tsar bomb survived is the bomb was on a massive parachute which slowed its descent long enough to barely get away
Thank you for uploading this video early. I say this because your videos almost always show up at about 9 in the morning and being I work the night shift, 9 in the morning is when I go to bed.

It was actually 58.7 Megatons exactly. Simulation should include the 100 Megaton torpedo simulation. Please simulate it with same fleet using Russian torpedo called “Poseidon”. Yay 😅62 miles blast radius 3rd degree burns. Kind of scary actually.
you can absolutely make a bigger bomb , the main reason why no one ever did was because when the russians detonated the tsar bomb they kinda shat them selves and thought it was too excessive
@@scoashish yeah its not that difficult to increase yield , i think it was castle bravo where they used lithium deuteride and it went of with like twice the yield and they wernt expecting it ,,,, oopsie
(4:43) That's supposed to be s kaiju from one of the Pacific Rim movie. Btw, a kaiju is just Japanese for a giant monster ("mysterious/fantasy beast"). All of these guys are technically kaiju. 😉
Soviet Nuclear Scientist "How bid do you want bomb?" Soviet Air Marshal "Da" reminds me of the thinking behind the Maxim Gorky "How big do you want plane to be?" "Big enough for printing press in wing root"
If you think cassette tapes were good, you should try eight track. They were the best. The only reason they did not dominate was the the fact that the cassette came out first by a fair degree and the other formats missed the bus.
To my knowledge, Russia dumbed down the Tzar Bomba due to the fear of the public or the pilots. I'm not sure but the bomb was only half of what the bomb would have been, had they didn't nerf it.
I love this type of funny shit. 27:12 What would happen if you dropped a tzar bomb in the middle of a hurricane? That big of a bomb has to affect the weather?

yeah, a big part of that fleet would end up inside the fireball.
Would the shockwave not hit itsself if it went around the world once. I cant get my head around that
It carried 54tons of fuel too so it’s not like it would be over weight.
Also, the American delivery method for bombing like that is “Toss Bombing” it has a Wikipedia page, check it out.
Another thing about the Tsar Bomba, originally it was planned to be a 100 Mt weapon, but was scaled down to a 50 Mt "demonstration" model
Wasn't it Khrushchev's claim that it was 100mt, and the US spy plane that calculated it actual yield?
That was due to Andrei Sakharov having enough courage to tell Kruschev that 100MT was just too big a blast. That took juevos rancheros. It could be "dialed up" to 100MT however.
I believe they did that in order to give the crew of the bomber at least a 50% chance of surviving. If they had used the 100 Mt design, they didn't have any means of delivering it to the target without destroying whichever plane did that job.
They could, of course, have done a static test, but I think they wanted to demonstrate an actual weapon rather than the principle.
And also someone calculated, that the 100Mt bomb shock wave may break the windows even in the Moscow.
The full 100mt fireball was expected to cause a huge amount of fallout as well as it would reach from ground to upper atmosphere
Also look at closeup of the Crossroads-Baker detonation. If you look close, there's USS Saratoga being tossed like a twig by the splash. An aircraft carrier tossed like a twig, let that sink in.

'Yes'.

Alternatively - having to spend an hour ripping your VCR apart to remove your favorite movie because the tape head didn't let go of it so you have to make it, without destroying the tape or the tape head in the process and put it back together after.
Also - nuking the nuclear powered lizard (Godzilla)...Do you want Turbo Godzilla? Because that's how you get Turbo Godzilla
Can't believe Cap has never seen Pacific Rim.
Honestly can't remember the last time I watched a movie.
It came out in 2013.
Love the monster island!
Imperial Japanese Navy attacks the Death Star…common Cap….let the shenanigans flow through you.😂😂😂
Dimitri owes you 5800 rubles! That's two whole US Dollars!
But a bet is a bet, that Хуй с горы! Grumpnik will get what he is owed!
When I was in Russia a while back 2013isb it was 30-40ish Rubles to the USD.
It’s about 90 rubles to the dollar as I write this.
That was fun to watch. After the great war. Russian made a chemical bomber. But it was to slow. One of the mad things that Russian made. Good fun. 👍👾
I don't know why, but today especially I was laughing in my tears. Thanks cap!
I love this channel. Reminds me of the good old days in the Op Flashpoint mission editor with mods and my friend and I going "what if x happened"
That's an interesting subject: What if the Tzar Bomb had been dropped on Nagasaki instead of Fat Man.
Why nuke maps exist lol. About 650k instantly killed, an additional 1.25 million wounded. There are om average 4.5million people in the light blast damage radius who would likely all suffer from radiation poisoning. It would have been the single greatest loss of life event in all of human history, Japan probably never would have recovered.
I'm disappointed no one has made some kind of explosion effect for nukes.
I wish this game had a better representation of the fireball and mushroom cloud for nuclear weapons.
Incidentally, look up Operation Crossroads, when the US bombed a fleet of surplus ships at Bikini Atoll with a couple of Nagasaki-scale bombs (about 1/2000th the yield of _Tsar Bomba)._ Also check out the photos of the aircraft carrier USS _Independence_ after the first test.
'80s had the best music :-)
Yup
Bird for Hero of the Soviet Union award! Well done comrade, in the finest traditions of the Soviet peoples. :)
Cannonball gets the Red Banner. Also well done comrade.
In 1926, the US had a captured German warship, and test bombed it from the air. The initial response was to scoff at the sinking - the ship was neither maneuvering nor firing back, and didn't have a crew aboard to affect damage control. Aside from being able to hit a target, the demo seemed to prove nothing. Of course, WWII would go on to show how effective aircraft could be in naval combat.
Twenty years later, another German vessel is in US hands (Prinz Eugen) and once again its used for a test target. After both an airburst atom bomb, and an underwater detonation of a second - the vessel seemed fine. A broken mast, a dislodged secondary gun, and a slow leak on some bearings - nothing a good damage control team couldn't handle in a few hours. It seemed that the new weapon was also not a great threat. Then the doctors with Geiger counters got involved and realized how contaminated the vessel was. The damage control crew might have fixed the ship in a few hours, but would be dead in a few days after that.
Next ship: RF Pyotr Velikiy
Pacific Rim kaiju, a Japanese word for a supernaturally large monster.
thx
yeah, you guys are nuts. gotta love it . . .
Funny! Well done Cap (or not), Ad altiora!
I bought my Godzilla coffee mug in Tokyo airport!
The only reason the bear that dropped the tsar bomb survived is the bomb was on a massive parachute which slowed its descent long enough to barely get away
Equivalent of the Hustler!
Thank you for uploading this video early. I say this because your videos almost always show up at about 9 in the morning and being I work the night shift, 9 in the morning is when I go to bed.
Ending in a high note, An advertisement for the North American Bigfoot Center showed up just before I watched the Reapers nuked monster island so now, I have to plan a weekend trip out there.
AFTER ALL. A HAPPY WIFE MAKES FOR A HAPPY LIFE.
Yeh John!
That’s was entertaining!
Thanks again for all the glorious content!
It was actually 58.7 Megatons exactly. Simulation should include the 100 Megaton torpedo simulation. Please simulate it with same fleet using Russian torpedo called “Poseidon”. Yay 😅62 miles blast radius 3rd degree burns. Kind of scary actually.
I just noticed this video mentioned in the description of another GR video. I read *_"Tsar Bomb"_* and IMMEDIATELY clicked on this vid...😊
25:25 you forgot the best part putting the microphone up to the radio to record your favorite songs illegally
*Cap: **_"...and Europe, I think, had a big one as well. Giggity."_*
🤭🤭🤭
*ALSO Cap: **_"Stick it in, boys, and wiggle it about."_*
🤭🤭🤭
you can absolutely make a bigger bomb , the main reason why no one ever did was because when the russians detonated the tsar bomb they kinda shat them selves and thought it was too excessive
@@scoashish yeah its not that difficult to increase yield , i think it was castle bravo where they used lithium deuteride and it went of with like twice the yield and they wernt expecting it ,,,, oopsie
this revenge was served pretty cold, well done boys, since you are in Hawaii try to drop some supplies to the people, they need it
(4:43) That's supposed to be s kaiju from one of the Pacific Rim movie. Btw, a kaiju is just Japanese for a giant monster ("mysterious/fantasy beast"). All of these guys are technically kaiju. 😉
You lot know how to have a good time
Soviet Nuclear Scientist "How bid do you want bomb?"
Soviet Air Marshal "Da"
reminds me of the thinking behind the Maxim Gorky
"How big do you want plane to be?"
"Big enough for printing press in wing root"
If you think cassette tapes were good, you should try eight track. They were the best. The only reason they did not dominate was the the fact that the cassette came out first by a fair degree and the other formats missed the bus.
Go Capt!
To my knowledge, Russia dumbed down the Tzar Bomba due to the fear of the public or the pilots. I'm not sure but the bomb was only half of what the bomb would have been, had they didn't nerf it.
The blind spots the cockpit creates is suffocating
You don't know what a Kaiju is? Wow. You've never watched Pacific Rim. Watch it.
Attack end to end rather that from the side. Less AA, more target area
This can't be the final video in the series CAP. You now have to try shooting down the tsar bomba with zeros!
lol that sounds quite the challenge.
I love this type of funny shit. 27:12 What would happen if you dropped a tzar bomb in the middle of a hurricane? That big of a bomb has to affect the weather?
Theres something uniquely cool about massive supersonic bombers!
I love how the monsters were utterly destroyed but every single tree on the island was unharmed.
No damage model on the trees? I kinda understand, but kinda don’t.
