You know a blast is no joke when even the Soviet Union went "... yeah.. maybe we shouldn't do that again.."
Exactly what I was thinking
You know its no joke when soviets thought maybe 100 megatons is too much lets downgrade the bomb to 50 megatons. Yeah tsar bomba is a 100 megaton bomb they just downgraded it
Well the tsar bombs was completely impractical, there is no reason to build another one. Castle bravo was far more intimidating
@@mertc8050 One part of me says I shouldn't. But the other part of me really likes to know what that'd look like. Although we simply double the math. Instead of 3x, the shockwave would travel the Earth 6 times. The heat would be felt 540 miles away and the shockwave would be seen 1000 miles away and probably as well from space... Still we'd have to drop it to confirm that. *insert manical laughter*
And to think that the asteroid impact 65 million years ago was about 9 million times more powerful than this bomb (apparently the blast wave was so powerful that the vast majority of animals on the planet's surface went deaf)
Comrade, your chances of survival are 50%.
Pilot: not good, not terrible.
During some minutes the pilot was literaly the most powerful guy on the planet.
imagine the pilot getting a crazy episode and randomly pinpointed an overpopulated drop off point
Yeah but the cold war was basically USA vs Russia so he probably wouldnt have made it over the atlantic

Nice. The entire population of China is responsible for Covid. Good job for the stupidity, I guess?
The bomb was attached to a gaint parachute, there was no crazy think about this...
“Commander, the pilot is not responding and he is heading off course”
“Where is he headed”
“Moscow.”
“Blyat”
"Deploy the bears."
“Pull out the vodka”
imagine
"Comrade, where the блять are you going?!"
"Dmitri, this man teamkilled me in CSGO last night"
i think they are able to detonate the bomb remotely if they want, dont know for sure but would be a crazy story if a pilot went rogue
The airfield used was the Olenya Airfield, which has a runway length of 2.1 miles. Sufficient for the modified Tu-95 and payload. There was actually a second aircraft, a modified Tu-16, on the mission, the Tu-95 carrying the payload, the Tu-16 filming and collecting data from the test.
I was wondering where the photos were taken from, thats crazy (and proves that the cameraman never dies)
Considering how far and wide that blast reached I'm amazed how that pilot made it out alive given how close he was
That's a very stable and durable plane they had there.

Danny Hudack yeah i get it now
My science teacher in the 1970s once spoke about this bomb. He claimed that the detonate released a massive amount of radiation into the atmosphere which was carried by the easterly/north eastern winds down into Western Europe, Britain and Ireland thus causing a spike in rare cancers through the mid to late 1960s. Many studies were done on the effects of the radiation but most suppressed due to not wanting to alarm the general public.
And they keep telling us Tsjernobyl was the cause of the cancer rates going up. The world and his Powerfull idiots must stop al the nonces with war and hating eachother. We have one planet and have to live on it close together so they must create a peacefull world and spend money together on ..... that everyone can live in normal circumstances.

You're talking bullshit. It's a hydrogen bomb not uranium one, they resigned of using the "uranium tamper" which would only increase the energy of fussion reaction of tritium (hydrogen's heavy isotope), it has nothing to do with the amount of "fuel" itself.

Thanks for this video, I never new how powerful this nuclear bomb was. What's even crazier is that the Tsar Bomb that was dropped was 50 mega tons powerful, but had the capacity to be a 100 mega tons bomb, so imagine what it would have been like if they used the full capacity of the Tsar Bomba!
Doubling the double does not double the blast radius, so the difference wouldn't be as significant as you think.
@@ohgoditsjames94it would be roughly 4^(1/3)~=1.58 times, which is still terrifying.
They gave up on 100 because (if I remember correctly, scientific blasphemy possible ahead), they should have used uranium tamper to achieve 100 Mt, but such solution would create more fallout than all the other tests before it combined, so that is the reason why it was dialed down.

Cause it’s not. The tsar bombs was originally created to be 2x more powerful, but they filled it partly with lead instead due to fears it would make the atmosphere evaporate across the world
Yeah, fun part about that is how this was a WEAKENED version of the bomb. Actual "in practice" Tsar Bomba would have been 2x the yield.

If you watch my other video about tzar bomb effects in other places I make an adjustment on the location it detonated above ground.
Even when Tsar bomb was detonated mid air, some of the little islands around the coast literally Evaporated. Imagine how big a Crater would be if the bomb would hit the ground.
Air blast gives more destructive power than ground detonation.
Tsar Bomb detonated in 300meters from the ground but he left the crater
Cause if tsar bomb was dropped right to thr ground it would be much destructive than before maybe for to 4,5km away or maybe much more
@@seraphiquevox Can't see it cleary, what color is it?
Earthquakes of 5.0 went off from mid air detonation, that would literally destroy everything in the region and acrosss continents from the tsunamis and energy traveling through crust
Those scientists knew they had to detonate it midair or else they would really fuck up and cause an apocalypse, it’s why the pilot could’ve died since they’d have to detonate well before it hits the ground
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx That's not quite true. Detonating the bomb above ground actually amplified its destructive power.
Had they exploded it directly on the surface, yes, a more visible crater would've been formed, but that's also where a lot of the energy would've been lost. After all, that area was doomed anyways, right? No need to also turn it into a crater.
On the other hand, detonating it above ground allows for the shockwave that the blast creates to not only travel upwards and to the sides, but downwards as well, where it then actually reflected off the ground to turn into a secondary sideways shockwave, destroying structures on the surface in an even larger area.
It's a common misconception that an explosion in mid-air would be safer than right on the ground, but don't forget that the energy from the explosion always stays the same, no matter where the blast happens, and it has to go somewhere. And air is not particularly good at blocking it.
Also one important detail you left out; the efficiency of the bomb was actually reduced by 50%.

What frightens me the most is that an American spy could have hijacked the plane and dropped it on Moscow thus making the Soviet government blame it on America and then WW3 starts...
Nice video!

Hats off to this man who still hearts people's comment.
Very interesting way to put things into perspective
Awesome video
My uncle told me a story my grandfather told him. He said he was there at the site going back to the bunker before the explosion. He fell down and went unconscious because the ground is solid rock there. At some point before the blast another soldier spotted him from the bunker and dragged him into a holle in the ground, he didn't die because the shockwave goes parallel to the ground. The man that saved my grandfathers life didn't make it since it was the very moment the shock wave was coming. That mans name was Ernst, he was from a community of germans in Volga region since the times of Catherine the Great (18th century). That is how my uncle got his name, all his life he was buffled why he was named that since we had no germans in our family until grandad told him the story.
Now your story stays alive here.
This should have been many likes though
Damn that's a cool story
fake and gay
That's a very great story
Don't forget, while there was a pilot on board, there were eight other crew as well. Nine people in total were on that plane. Also, they took off from Oleyna. This bomb was more powerful than ALL of the bombs dropped during WW2, times ten.
10000 x more powerful actually.
The plane nosedived because the star bombs was the only counterweight for the pilot’s gigantic balls
@@AsttoScott 100000000x actually

Imagine shutting your eyes, covering them with your hands and shielding yourself from a burst of light and x-rays so strong that you still see the bones in your fingers.
"Soviet Union time" There were like... 11 time zones
Moscow time is a main time. Rest of russian cities is a crap.
MOSKAU MOSKAU
JOHOHOHO
Russian people love Jenghis Khan music band
Unlike China, where the whole country operates on Beijing time, and you have breakfast at 11am in some other parts of China.
