- This is the world's most popular video about the hydrogen bomb!
On 22 November 1955, the Soviet Union conducted its first hydrogen bomb test, code-named RDS-37, at the Semipalatinsk Test Site. The RDS-37 was dropped from a Tupolev Tu-16 bomber and detonated at an altitude of 1550 m with a yield of 1.6 Megatons. - Věda a technologie
Fun fact: The parachute on the bomb was to give the bomber crew the best chance of escaping the blast, and even then they barely escaped
RDS37 was not!! the Tsar Bomb. It had only 1,6 MT ! Escaping this blast was no problem. The ~57MT of the Tsar Bomb were much stronger.
@@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
@@Dominion69420 Yes, thats right. 👍
@@Dominion69420 I believe they had the same issue when bombing Japan. Concerned that they wouldn’t outrun the blast
@A. W.
Ha ha why all the exclamation marks? No need to get upset, go take your medicine, and double it
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.
@@Fe7Ace there is no winning in war with nukes, only mutual destruction

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.
Two stage = not counting the conventional explosives used for the Implosion Fission Weapon?

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.
Definitely 😢.... It will bring nothing but Pain and Suffering
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
So grateful for things like this being available. This footage was super secret once upon a time. Somebody found it, transferred it, and here we are. What an amazing and terrifying world we live in.
it was decasified by russia not leaked.

@@CraigStCyrPlus look up the production company Lookout Mountain, and a company called E.G.G., they did all the film and camera work on these tests. E.G.G. is still around today using similar methods for different types of analysis. Peter Kuran made a documentary called Atomic Film Makers, which interviewed several of the camera men and how they did these shots. It is all well documented.

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.
So the sound of the blast wave must have taken over 3 minutes to reach the town!
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.
That's just horrific

So nobody actually saw anything...
@@kmspop1 Lmao, I guess you're right haha.
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.

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.
Thanks Obama
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..
Yaaa like use this weapon in medieval times, and people will think God is angry with them., like crazy how much we have evolved.
The end shot of that giant overcast cloud was just absolutely terrifying

It always amazed me that the cameras recording the events, survived the blasts, and subsequent shock waves.
they put them inside reinforced thin podiums with thick glass; you can see some in those footage of buildings getting destroyed with the blast and only those posts staying up.

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.
Holy bomb
@Kotomine Berndrewd he knows, just talking about biggest bomb ever. спасибо, друг
The mushroom cloud from Nagasaki was taller than everest too
Im having more "fun" already.
@@calebh7902 and?
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.
😅
Shouldn't that be a "fun fact"?
Well, the last clip from the city area shows just this. Silence until the blast hits, leaving people falling in the streets.
RDS 37 was NOT the Tsar Bomba, just the first Soviet H bomb.
This bomb was "only" 1.6 Megatons.
You can tell them apart easily, Tsar is towards the right of the frame, the camera aim was a little off, RDS 37 is in the middle. Otherwise they do look quite similar, though one was much bigger. Probably has to do with the atmospheric conditions in the test area, they make it look way more terrifying than the dry desert air in US tests. All that humidity in the air makes the spectacular clouds.
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.
lol me too
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.
Drones ftw
Silent plane?
hence, one reason for the parachute -delay
Ever been in a plane brah ?
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.

Speech:
'We observed it from the distance of 70 kilometres; some people were located closer. One soldier, who was in the trench, had been covered by the sand, and one soldier had died, In the village nearby, all the residents were evacuated from buildings...(speech cuts off)'
1:30 - 2:08
'This is how the blast looked from the city of Kurchatov, centre of the Semipalatinsk testing site. The blinding flash and the shockwave shaked the city. All the windows in the building were broken.
These are shots from the video, which were recorded as demonstration for the leaders of the county. Text, obviously, voiced by Levitan (famous soviet narrator and newscaster).
Lets go back to the town of the testing site. The shockwave will get here at the moment.
Do you see a group of people on the road? Being far from the blast, they fell calm. But they will have to pay for such complacency.'
"But they will have to pay for such complacency." What the real fuck??
Thanks man 👍
@@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.

Notice any Russians conveniently retreating from Kyiv?
Supposed to happen April 4th. I had a bad dream last night about nuclear war trying to avoid radiation.
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.
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.

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.
BFFs Engineer 3 of them could level the carribean
Wow, Oppenheimer was so good they made a real life version of it
Germans invention
wow there is soo much dumb in this.... read a book!
Америка: Мы создали бомбу и назвали её "Малыш"
СССР: Мы хотели назвать свою бомбу "Конец света" но в конце передумали.
wow, why so many people had this video as recommended? don't sure if i fell a bit awkward or scared
Genter Obama legalised propaganda in 2013. government is just using google to scare us. CZcams belongs to Google.
godless 789 Uhhh...evidence?
Cam Ward Research "operation mockingbird" , a version of it was recently passed in legislature
Genter same lol
"Operation Mockingbird" began in the early '50's and was officially cancelled in 1983, before "CZcams", or the "Internet" for that matter even existed.
Now that's a lot of damage!
We split the land into half,now let's try fixing it with the flex tape !
We split atom in half, now let's try fixing it with flex tape.
I SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF!
Were gonna need a lotta flex seal

In galaxy, we are known as most dangerous planet on space
This is why aliens do contact us

Oh yeah. there is none!
@@pimuce ayo wtf
What you meant to say was *when it comes to science and curiousity*
Right?
@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..
@@pimuce What. The fuck.
CZcams jut recommended this to me, weird.
same,
maybe everyone gets a reminder ...
Northern Vigilant scary
Do you watch Joe rogan ?
Northern Vigilant maybe you or your mom vote hillary?
insomthegreat i did.
Scary how you can actually see the shockwave reach that town before the BOOM is heard!!!
There is something wonderous and beautiful about this level of destriction. It is a living thing, alive only for moments, yet its ferocity and strength resounds throughout the world as its glowing mantle rips apart the night crrating a new day!
It's horrifying and fascinating at the time seeing that conversion of so little of a mass into energy can give this much of an output
This is the law of nature
c^2 is quite big ngl
The film was very beautiful like a little indie movie w a giant Nuke going off in the distance.
Think of the conversion it took to make life.
@@MilitaryMatters1 feels elegant
Russians had hd cameras back then
Well that's true if you consider that they were shooting on film, and film "resolution" is very high.
Facts
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.
Digital cameras lose their quality? What's that supposed to mean?
@@fenot92 That's was not only Russians, in the Soviet union was Ukrainians, Russians, Byelorussians and many other nations
The statue of Lenin chilling there while the biggest bomb ever built is being tested in proximity to civilians really sums up the Soviets.
did anyone notice the dog at the end after the blast wave?

Die Squidwards Great grammar!
Olli Jokinen im german sry
Die Squidwards I can relate
Die Squidwards 😂
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.
The only thing you can hear is the rumbling ground and this nearly instantly
this is a film
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.
@Bryan Kirby they were knocked flat and killed by the shockwave you dimwit.
No birds were harmed during the filming of this episode.
They say 100 million people died under communism. I thought that was overestimated but after seeing this video, I think it’s underestimated.
This is original unaltered Russian footage. For the ages!
2:14 - The dog still tells his grandchildren that he survived the atomic war.
Pups
Hehehe funy,,
I feel bad for that dog. He probably died from the bomb or in the radiation. But then he is definitely dead now because that was 1955 and now it’s 2021
@@screamingchicken9377, no way he could die from explosion or radiation on that distance.
it knocked those 3 people in the middle of the road over
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...
The bomb in Hiroshima was 15 (15,000 tons) kilotons (litte boy)and it killed 140k people. The tsar bomba was 50,000 kilotons (50 million tons). Imagine that detonating in ur favorite city. All would see a bright flash then turned to ash. And your whole counrty flattened. Now imagine if yellowstone would erupt, now thats Now thats a world ending event. Hiroshima was 15 kilotons, tsar bomba was 50,000 kilotons, and yellowstone would be 875,000 kilotons! But the Chixulub meteor, that wiped out the dinosaurs, was about 100,000,000,000 kilotons 😮
That's a fucking star sitting on the Earth's crust. WTF!!
"A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." -Ronald Reagan
amen
Lol
nuclear weapons are good for small powers though, it stops the bigger nuclear armed powers from invading them.
Preach that louder.
There arent any winners....in ANY war
"Now they are going to pay the price for their complacency." The men are knocked flat while a dog at the bottom of the screen manages to run like hell and exits stage left.
Exactly, how is that possible?
@@Podzzy How is what possible?
@@bradleymilton1720 The men stunned to the ground, the dog runs as if nothing had happened.
@@Podzzy The dog is running like hell because he was also frightened by the shock wave.
@@bradleymilton1720 Okay, but why didn't the shock wave knock him out?
Thank you Ethyl and Julius.
Who else watching this after seeing Oppenheimer
Not only are we all mad but we document our madness
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.
@@SparrowNoblePoland Well America is the only ones who've used the Atom Bomb so far so the Bar has been set pretty low.
2:14 What a scare, poor dog!!
And the people in the middle of the street who were knocked down
That dog probably died due to radiation
@Chinmay C. no problem cutie
It was a bear

With this on new years eve, you are the boss of the street dor one time
The landscape at the end of the film looks like a horror movie
The fact they caught the sound of it and footage is amazing.
The sound is terrifyingly eerie
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...
@@Dylanowich Right, that's another prove of faking the entire so called footage, the shockwave arrived instant after the lightning ball as well.
@@famaccount479 I mean at 2:11
@@Dylanowich Yeah, me too, all over the footage. It's terrible cutting together or a complete fake.
