- Russia has released previously classified footage of the world's largest nuclear explosion, caused when the Soviet Union detonated the so-called Tsar Bomba almost 60 years ago.
The hydrogen bomb, which carried the force of 50 million tons of conventional explosives, was detonated in a test on Oct.1961, 4,000 meters over the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago above the Arctic Circle.
The footage shows an immense fireball and a 60-km high mushroom cloud rising after the explosion lit up the sky.
The views were captured from several angles by cameras installed on the ground and on board two Soviet aircraft.
A documentary featuring the footage was published online for the first time by Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom last week as part of events to mark 75th anniversary of Russia's atomic industry.

Stupid of the usa. It was a very clean explosion. Almost no fallout.. instead of the usa Castle bravo nuke ... that was a very dirty one and they had to pay reperations...

Even at a scaled down version of the nuke, the bomber crew barely escaped. The blast wave hit them and caused the plane to drop about 1000m before they regained control.

Because they gave the pilots time to escape, they just put 50 percent of the power

@@katshuyadepionier3633 actually it was put on 50% power because some leading soviet sciencists had concerns about the aftermath of the 100% power explosion.

only 57 megatons...
@@antond92 i know , its just the way it was eorded made it sound like 57 megatons wasnt a lot lol
Actually there were several reasons, the most important, the safety of the aircrew along with the plane.
If they went to the 100 megatons the pilots would have been toasted, or a bigger delay on the detonator, and dropping the bomb from an higher altitude
@@antond92 That´s a myth. They already knew before the trinity test, that it was not possible to set fire to the atmosphere. It´s a simple mater of physics. The reaction would cool it self faster than it could propagate so it would die out bye it self.
No one was afraid to set fire to the atmosphere. The power of the nuclear fuse was 1.5 megatons. 50 megatons was a thermonuclear reaction. But the rest of the power of the bomb was planned to be created using a uranium reflector, but this reaction was too dirty and was abandoned. This bomb, by the way, is the most environmentally friendly, unlike other thermonuclear and atomic bombs.
That's why Usa can't find oil in Russia

@@markfaulk7 Yes to find the soundtrack it would be really nice
Just to add more pzazz to this: the TSAR Bomba was 50 megatons, and was actually a scaled back version of a 100 megatons bomb. In other words, the most powerful thermonuclear bomb ever detonated was only half the size it could have been.
Yup. It could have been so big that the plane that would have dropped it wouldn't survive. It was so powerful that it was impractical.
Another fun fact; in 2020 Russia unveiled an autonomous underwater nuke carrying drone that can cause a 200 megaton coastal explosion, sending a wave of radioactive water across an entire coastline. Just a few could wipe out 80% of the US population which is mainly on the west and east coast.
@@lordofligma so if the bomb was 100 megatons the plane didn't have enough time and speed to escape the blast Radius?

Most the goosebumps this winter is cause russia an usa cut off gas supplies to Europe . Could just be that?
There is no theoretical max size to a thermonuclear bomb. they knew this back then, you just keep adding stages. Conventional bomb sets off atomic secondary which compresses a hydrogen core which creates even larger fusion detonation... you use that to set off an even larger yet secondary fusion stage, so on and so forth until you end up with an artificial star.
There's no reason to. Smaller warheads on much faster delivery systems with the ability to have multiple re-entry vehicles is far more effective at first and second strikes than one comically large device that probably can't even be fitted on a missile
There’s no reason to, since bombs as big as this is overkill and difficult to deliver

If that drops in almost any European country it's done if the best thing they have right now detonates let's not even imagine
They have nuclear torpedoes being refined - the Poseidon. The idea is you destroy a coastal city and port, but there will also be a massive tsunami of radioactive water washing inland destroying and polluting in its path. There are claims the tsunami could be 500 meters high, but even if greatly exaggerated it would still be a nasty weapon. Also, all conventional anti missile tech would be useless as it travels underwater instead of in the air.

As a result, the blast had an actual power of 50 MT.

I am not completely sure, but nuclear bombs don't actually produce a lot of fallout, dirty bombs do that
the tzar bomba was actually one of the cleanest nuclear bombs ever made, and the crew who went in to study the blast zone barely needed any protection. Still, that is a good joke.
@@webber4494 From what I know, distance helps, if they detonate closer to the ground they do release quite a bit of the stuff but the blast effectiveness is significantly reduced (so not efficient use of expensive resources). I guess that's why we made the dirty bomb, best of both worlds.
@@webber4494 Basically, it depends on where it explodes. Detonating in the sky has minimal radioactivity while detonating on the ground makes a pretty big area start looking like Alabama.
1961 is ancient history when it comes to weaponry.. they're not even going to tell you what they got today
the Russians do. They told their people and the world what they about to develop in 2018 about all the weapon and now it is archived all of them and showed the testing in some but the US pentagon or congress not allow to show that to the US people . THE USUAL .
the Russians showed everything and the US is censure it .

That was true at that time, and a long after that was also still applicable. Prolonging war drains all kinds of resources with marginal profit. But all out nuclear war is different, it destroys anything and everything that was supposed to be plunder. Basically last resort or option of self druction together with the enemy. Humanity more than likely can survive such war, because the nations that still own/make them will prioritize targeting countries that also have them. But mainly because the war is more likely to end before the arsenals runs out. Dozens, maybe hundreds of cities are likely to become rubble, but who said humans only live in cities? Worst case scenario is half of the human population is gone, but that is still 3.5 - 4 billion people out there. The Black Plague wiped out a third of humanity in the middle ages, and almost made Europe free real estate for other major empires at the time, but they still miraculously stood back up and later made Europe great again.

It's actually "Nyet", not niet.
It is нет

"Damn that gender reveal really was something"
I liked the voice of the voiceover, he seems so calmed and amazed by the explosion and the aftermath. Really cool video
Sample matierial
And the crew of the plane was fighting for life in horror as the plane was failing to the ground as the air started to move in opisite direction... and after that there is low presure left so the plane pilot was out of control for very long thime and after this test he made decision to quit Soviet Airforce...
Yeah such a cool video... Just 5 of these on every major continent would be enough to kill us all what is so cool about that
you should watch the documentary of putting out a gaswell fire with a thermonuclear demolition charge. It was in Kazakhstan in the 1960's. The narrator has a distinctive accent.
Is this why Russia is allowed to take territory in Ukraine without major world conflict?
Where is Godzilla ?
Reminder this is 1961, we are in 2020. Humans have progressed so far we should all be concerned.
I'm afraid that everything is exactly the opposite
Wrong. Humanity started regressing once the USSR imploded

Semen retention makes that, now we have Pmo in all of us 😢
USSR: we want a 100 megaton nuclear bomb, but we first need to test this 50 megaton bomb.
*Tests 50 megaton bomb*
USSR: lets uh... lets just never talk about that 100 megaton bomb ever again...
There's this famous story that the real reason they never deploy these bombs is that in one of those conferences where officials often meet to discuss critical matters, an alien popped up abruptly mid air, it materialized out of thin air and gave a stern warning, "We are not going to allow you to use these weapons." This happened in front of everybody who attended the conference and they were shocked. And later, as usual with such sensitive info, they all were forbidden from speaking about it.
This came up after another event where there was a bizzarre event, a UFO was hovering above nuclear missiles in a millitary base... and the alarms were going off, (cmon you know this one LOL. The guys on duty tried but none of the buttons were working. Later it was found out that the bombs had been destroyed, even plutonium cores had been molten. It kinda makes sense why they pretend to go to war --> "let's only use dynamite. No nuclear or chemical weapons" No in real enmity you use your best weapon available.
Imagine fighting with a real enemy and agreeing, "let's only use punches. No kicks or swords." No man, enemies don't keep such promises, lol this looks like a friendly match. And this is what governments do, they have puppet masters behind the scenes, puppet masters who control both sides. we are the fools we are the casualties. Look at agenda 21 and Davos, and remember that Putin alongside other presidents attended, now tell me they're not together. planning against us. In fact we the people are the guinea pigs or targets, the higher ups are buddies.
@@davemwangi05 Just looked up both Davos and Agenda 21. Could not find anything on its/their focus directed towards using people as guinea pigs. Could you source where you got that information please?
@@Rocksidion “dude trust me”
@@davemwangi05 реально разработчики думали что может произойти неконтролируемая ядерная реакция. А так то да 100 мегатон должно было быть.
Some experts predict that this explosion exceed Ullman-Teller condition and that process will never end.
Who's watching after Russia threatened Nuclear weapons against the West😬
Russia has issued no such threat.
picture a mechanic, all alone, quietly wrenching on this bomb...then out of nowhere....the explosive reaction we just witnessed...😂
