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.
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.
@@ToxicTurtleIsMad Actually it's just over 1300kms. Nowhere near 2000.
@@timsavini2585its about 900 kms
@@ToxicTurtleIsMad???
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, 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!!!!!

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
Gotta love how CZcams is recommending this video to everybody.
yeah...out of nowhere....i mean , i've never heard of this bomb
If the bomb was detonated in Los Angeles, even if you knew it was coming the day before, you literally couldn’t out drive it, Insane
literal chaos on the streets , milions of cars. Only hope would be to run until you find cover outside the blast radius , third degree burns could still easily kill you

Nonsense. A person can walk 50km in a day let alone drive. You'd still have to take cover from flying glass and heat.
When The Tsar Bomba was detonated, it broke windows here in Norway. Insane!

Pontubs the plane that drop it was almost blown out of the sky
even more terrifying is the fact that with a bomb that large, even with a high detonation you're still going to vaporize huge amounts of matter and water and the fallout will be extensive.
To think that the tzar Bombas is the most destructive bomb that has ever detonated, but probably not the most destructive that was ever created...
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

@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.
Kinda interesting that youtube decided to recommend me this video now

Thank you for using the metric system so the rest of the world can understand. That's very considerate. :)
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
...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.

@@mikk01975 why?
The only thing I know is I'm starting window company because when those start droping....
One thing you didnt mention is, when the tsar bomb would be dropped over Hiroshima, the 900 km radius would not just break windows, but it would also cause a huge Tsunami, destroying the southern islands of Japan, Shikoku and Kyushu, as well as probably the coast line of South Korea
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.
lol imagine being the pilot having to drop it
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

@@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

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.

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.
There’s a reason why this is being recommended now 👀
The building directly under the horishima detonation is called the genbaku dome and it was the only building left standing in the near detonation site.
The hypocenter was above the Shima Hospital. "Intended for the Aioi Bridge, the bomb missed its target by 240 m (790 ft) and exploded directly over the Shima Hospital, which was very near to the Genbaku Dome. The center of the blast occurred 150 m (490 ft) horizontally and 600 m (2,000 ft) vertically from the Dome."

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.
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."

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.
@@almitrondecepticon2091it will create tsunamis but the explosion will be much less powerful
@@almitrondecepticon2091 The Russians have been developing their Poseidon, nuclear torpedoes, since 2015. The idea of those is exactly what you thought about. But if you believe the news when you go search the topic, it is claimed that Russians have built their first batch of torpedoes this year.
Most Russians may be scared, but if some sick man got to power, like Hitler, someone like him, would be completely capable of releasing the bomb/s, and that kind of people, are very good at getting to power.
Anyone else get this in their recommended?
awesome video your voice remind me of hary truman!
Still Nokia can survive that.
Don't judge me by my name. Nope
Bet that guy is fun at parties
I had a old Nokia ~2005, accidently put it through the washing machine with soap. Figures it was ruined. Never attempted to dry it or anything, just left it on shelf.
Some days later I seen if it would turn on, it did. Worked fine, no sign of damage, used it for another year.
With just a broken screen. Still working though.
😂
"[The Tzar Bomba] would have not only totally destroyed the entire city of Hiroshima but it would have taken out a good fraction of the country."
Damn
@Kurogane -sensei Is that a reference to a certain web novel? 🤔
Actually, I think it would sink the whole island, cause tsunami, and force all volcanoes in the pacific ocean to erupt due to its location
and now immagine everything goes sh1t, and they launch several hydrogen bombs. turning the whole planet into a burned dead rock.
we were so close, only one brave man on the us ans soviet side refusing to push the button.
total global anihilation. humanity reached its utmost goal
@@CAESARbonds it ultimate goal for the human bean is destroy the entire universe
thats when the humans reach his last goal
Yo my country would be gone, like MY ENTIRE COUNTRY
Little boy was not the first atomic bomb ever detonated, that was the Trinity bomb detonated in New Mexico as part of the Manhattan project. The Trinity bomb actually had more in common with the Fat Man bomb detonated over Nagasaki as it was a Plutonium fission bomb.
Oh here we are..on time af.
Thanks YT algo!
Yoooooo, all of Europe would have lost their windows if this had been dropped there.
"Dropped" lol .. We just accidentally dropped you here the most powerful bomb in the world ... Ok.
@@hibahprice6887 well.. the bomb was in fact literally dropped?
@@siriplaydopethrone8973 he’s joking about how funny it sounds to casually say “dropped the strongest weapon we’ve ever made”
Lmao if it was dropped in moscow my house would be right at the broken window circle pls move it a little northwest so I dont have to repair my windows
This man is preparing ahead of time XD
why you need window if you become a glass itself
@@Loreless brainy... rspct boi
I won’t have to . My one runs on iOS
Bro this bomb was created allmst 60 years ago if they would create most powerfull bomb they can today I think it would shattered windows in half of the world
I never want to see the day where a hypersonic missile with the same power as the Tsar Bomba is created.
You're already there bud. I bet you it's classified though, everyone is clueless about it. That's the scary part.
Oh boy, Yeah I'm fucked, If the bomb goes, Prague, Bratislava, Warsaw, Vienna or Berlin, I'm either burning to hell or killed by glass from my windows.
Hide under the bed. 🤷♂️
When he started zooming out on the first one I was like “why is he zooming out for?” Then it hit me…
Did it help that the narrator was very clearly explaining that exact thing?
damn , broken windows , 3rd degree burns and total destruction all the way from the west coast of Ireland to Germany in the east , and Portugal in the south , that’s insane
And now imagine that in 5 years they could have made 10 of these, or more) And if they called on "all" people to extract and enrich uranium, then damn it they would have made a hundred of them .. These people did everything for "their country" not for money, but simply because it is necessary, in a couple of years they made 40+ thousand t34 tanks, and more than 100,000 of the total number of armored vehicles, in general, do not underestimate them (it was)
@@hibahprice6887 they could have nuked the whole planet twice or literally digged down to the core
What an ideal timing for this to come into recommendation…
A couple days ago I got recommended ‚what to do in the first 60 minutes of a nuclear attack‘ and now this? You wanna tell us something CZcams???
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.
Cool idea to use google earth as a learning tool. Works very well!
* Tsar Bomba dropped on Australia
Australian's: "What a lovely day!!"
This makes me grateful that I live in a small town in the valley surrounded by mountains, nowhere near a large city.
Don't look up "mutually assured destruction". I'm sorry, but in the case of full on nuclear war humanity is pretty doomed unless we were to start making cities underground.
@@kogasoldier9379 I know what the MAD doctrine is.. I’m not worried about a direct impact, I’m nowhere near a major city and my town is basically a natural fortress because of its geography. It’s the aftermath that worries me.
@@mattalibozek7258 okay. You have a better grasp than I assumed. Carry on friend.
@@kogasoldier9379 Much appreciated, good day sir. 😄
All this make me realise is how large LA is compared to other cities
lots of suburbs

This is the type of video I love to see on CZcams: accurate info, helpful analysis, ZERO self-promotion, and no annoying intro/outro.
Great job, Forrest Haggerty! :)
Your so right!😊
You like to see zero self promotion?
You're watching for free, what someone else took time to make.
oh boy, great timing
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.
here comes the navies The Tzar bomb can be dropped far away our of control of other countries and still would kill the target due to its strength
Unless you turn a civilian airplane with real schedule into the bombs themselves.
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.
Punisher Hulk for Christ
I heard they reduced the size because they thought the bomb would tilt earth from its current axis.

Wow.
Damn if Paris was hit it would STILL blow out the windows of my home in Scotland
The algorithm is trying to give us a hint I guess...
I’m only halfway into the video and wonder why you didn’t show the actual tsar bomba which was 100mt, it was halved to allow the bomber time to clear the blast radius.
