A 15kt nuclear weapon would completely destroy a medium size city. The little boy was 27kt almost twice the size. Though small nuclear weapon cause a certain frequency that would cause a lot of damage.
@Avishankk nope, Little Boy was 13 Kt while Fat Man was 20 kt. If either was dropped on New York City, it would destroy anything in a 2-3 mile radius. Compared to Ivy Mike which is 10 Mt and would destroy everything in a 10 mile radius
two birds are flying and talking, one bird says to the other bird. hey look. whats that fireball coming at us? nahh it's probably just a cloud, don't worry says the other bird. wait here he says to the other bird, I have to fly and check on my kids. I'll be back in 10 minutes.
Even if nuclear weapons have been "scaled down" to reduce some components of effect, who would ever want them to be used again at all considering how life-altering the consequences would be. Nuclear weapons, imho, are a gross misuse of nature.
@variant126 Houses today are still wood-framed. Also, not only would the blast create a firestorm on it's own, you have to also think about all of the cars, gas stations, oil and natural gas pipelines, etc.
@onlyhuman2121 Third nuclear fallout is not an issuse today Both russia and the us have signed the NNPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) meaning that nuclear weapons today will generate VERY little nuclear fallout all nuclear weapons today are "tactical" meaning that they aren't designed to generate fallout or to kill people, they are designed to take out military targets such as ships, bases or silos.
@variant126 Actually, the NPT only limits the spread of nuclear weapons. The Partial/Limited Test Ban Treaty limited signatories to only testing underground, and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty bans signatories from testing nuclear weapons anywhere.
Also, "tactical" weapons are those used to destroy buildings. Strategic weapons are used to take out silos and bases, not ships. Nukes do kill, and fallout and blast are produced by any nuclear weapon.
@variant126 You horribly misinformed. The non-proliferation treaty has nothing to do with fallout or yield, or any other technical specifications of weapons. It has to do with stopping anymore nations from acquiring nuclear weapons. The weapons of today are smaller in yield than weapons like Castle Bravo, but they still get a large percentage of their yield from fission so they're still quite dirty.
@variant126 Furthermore, you don't understand the difference between tactical and strategic. There are still many, many strategic nuclear weapons. That is what is used to target counter force targets(missile silos, submarine bases, airbases) and countervalue targets (cities). Saying these weapons aren't designed to kill people is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Both tactical and strategic weapons are designed to kill people.
@variant126 Lastly, tactical weapons are for battlefield use. They have small yields, at least as far as nuclear weapons go, and are for use against conventional military targets like armored formations and assembly areas. They're very much meant to kill people. The US developed a series of weapons that were designed to expend a larger percentage of their energy through ionizing radiation instead of blast effects for killing tank crews.
@variant126 Check your facts, onlyhuman2121! The NNPT, iirc, was enacted as an agreement between the nuclear powers to do everything in their power to prevent the spread of nuclear weaponry to any other and/or third world nations. Hasn't been very effective seeing as Pakistan, India, North Korea and soon Iran have joined the club since then. Also, there is no such thing as a nuclear weapon that does not produce fallout on/near a target. I think you are confusing nukes with neutron weaponry.
@variant126: No. The NNPT only promises not to help non-nukes get nuclear bombs. The only technical treaties in effect are concerning bomb sizes and locations for testing. Strategic weapons are still very much available if needed, mainly by sub IR/CBM and bombers. Bombs aren't designed to create fallout, but it exists in all nukes, to a greater or lesser extent. They actually depend on blast, thermo, and immediate radiation effects; fallout is to unpredictable.
@onlyhuman2121 A large city like london is 13 sq miles so you can see a single 450kt warhead is not nearly enough to kill the majority of the population.
@variant126 A 15kt weapon can decimate a mid-sized city; look at Hiroshima. A ground burst 450kt bomb (which would actually be bigger- the Russians use 600kt to multimegaton weapons) would cause a respectably large fireball, and fallout and firestorm damage would kill millions.
@smadmead1 A 15kt weapon can not decimate a mid-sized city not even close, the only reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were decimated is because the houses there were built out of crap, comparing the buildings that where used back there in japan to modern buildings built today is like comparing modern buildings to huts made out of straws in Africa.
@variant126 Well actually a 15 KT weapon would decimate a city of any size saying it would'nt is ludacris. It would destroy infastucture, the power grid, contaminate food and water supplies aswell as scorch everything in a 30 kilometer radius. Thing is Little Boy detonated about 500 meters above Hiroshima, if it was a ground detonation it would of caused much more damage. Heck even a MOAB which has the explosive power of 12 tons of TNT can flatten a 10 city block radius.
@NANOFORGE not true, an airbust creates more damage because you are not losing downward explosive force into the ground, the atom bomb designers actually spent quite some effort determining the optimum air burst height to create maximum damage.
@variant126 it would still ruin your day though :P and somehow I think London would be assigned one if not more of the big boys of the Russian missile stockpile, it would probably get a few 3-5 megaton warheads fired at it in an all out nuclear war.
@onlyhuman2121 You're wrong, First of all there are about 25000 city's just in the United States alone so when you say 600 largest city's in the world that's like 3% of the world population. Second a 450kt warhead is not even close to being enough to kill the majority of a modern sized city... a 450kt warhead has a "kill-zone" of roughly 2 miles surely people close to the "kill-zone" will be wounded by things like windows breaking, the shock wave and burns but in the end a lot will survive.
@HiDefTutorials Checkout an article called "trapped by radiation"by the saturday evening post.It is the story about scientists who were trapped in a bunker on Bikini beach when castle Bravo was detonated.These poor scientists were 20 miles away when they detonated this test.A Japanese fishing boat was 70 miles away and all the fishermen suffered horrible burns.Native people on the surronding islands suffered exposure to radiation.Search the wetokian web issue fall 1999 it tells the whole story.
I cant even process how horrible this weapon would be to endure. Scientists who were 50 miles away said the heat at that range was verging on unbearable. If you were 10 miles away from this thing you would be too close. This hitting a major city? Would be an annihilation beyond anything you could possibly imagine.
Anyone acting like an expert, you're simple retarded. Any "YouTube" discussion on this... or "discussion" would simply be backed up by elementry physics. Looool.. the actually people that know real physics about these bombs, are not going to be found posting comments on this :)
Comment is obvious rubbish. This was 15 MT test and anything closer than 10 miles was eradicated. The width of the fireball 3 seconds after detonation was 4 miles according to the military report and standard distance of camera airplanes on this test was 50 miles, because photographic measuring was only way to get some data about these insanely hot radioactive balls of fire. Maybe the comment is not related to Bravo, about testing in NTS, where only kiloton-yield devices were tested.
@ValpurgiusDeBragga: Blasts are funny. Bravo was housed in a steel shed on an island called Irioj (Dog Island to the Navy) on Eniwetak Atoll. It obliterated the island, and left a crater about 7000ft across. There was a causeway to the next two islands, which are still visible today in google earth, .8 miles from the blast, even after 7 other nukes in the same place. Yes, everything on the islands were scraped clean, for a couple of miles. Had it been 1/2 mile higher...
2nd biggest bomb in all history 15 megatons...its kinda crazy to think that the soviets tested a bomb that had three times the power of this (Tsar Bomb 50megatons)
@ValpurgiusDeBragga: Yes, because it detonated 2 km high over rock and water, while CB was on an island. Tsar would have been much worse if they'd left the uranium238 blanket in it instead of substituting lead, even without the fireball reaching the ground.
@Balnazzardi I never said that ALL nukes are fake, this one in particular IS. They brought in the Army Corps of Engineers to dig a massive crater and distribute atomic radiation. The "explosion" was filmed elsewhere in the Nevada desert and exaggerated. It was the cold war. We used this lie to scare the Russians and make Americans feel safer, read a book.
@JIMINIK1 why dont you get a life, fucking troll...next thing you are saying is that thermonuclear hydrogen bombs have never existed....how would you explain the craters of castle bravo and tsar bomba then?
its damn pretty depressing that we cant find ways to stop illness and diseases like cancer, because we are too busy making bigger bombs that can blow up whole cities in a blink of an eye. i dont know why the leaders of the world are willing to shoot nukes at each other when they know that the world will be fucked by nuclear winter and fallout. there is no hope for mankind. eventually... we will blow ourselves up.
These weapons weren't made to destroy ourselves, that's what the American and Soviet governments wanted us all to believe. The truth is, these bombs were created to scare off advanced alien civilizations that were debating whether to annihilate us and colonize our planet. But when they saw how insane we were to create such monstrous weapons and came so close to actually using them on ourselves, the aliens thought "these motherfuckers are crazy, they're gonna destroy this planet, let's bounce"
Instead Of using Nuclear bombs as weapons. Why don't we just use it as an example Of Infinite Posibilities... Instead Of blowing the shit outa people. Why cant we just get off this Fucking Planet!!!!!! Staring at this Fireball just slowley growing just shows me how sad our world is.. When this is the best we can do.. Just think. if the blast don't get you. the fallout will.. you have no idea how real this shit gets.. i wouldnt be born if the cold war came to midnight, thats amazing.
@orkneymist Oh, yeah, the Navy guys: The ones that were ordered to put on dark goggles, and keep their backs turned. Yeah, those are great eyewitnesses.
And, oh yeah, a blast crater: That would prove there was a blast. Yeah, it would. And if you sprinkle some radioactive substance around, you might get people to thinking it's somekind of mythical nuclear blast.
Absolutely nothing we possess now is more efficient than energy generated by a nuclear reaction. The most powerful chemical bomb reactions are still in the order of 1,000,000 times less powerful than a nuclear bomb. I think we really should go back and investigate other ways of using nuclear energy in ways that minimize radioactive contamination, possibly by using Thorium or other fuels, as a solution to the energy crisis.
They set off some small explosion, superimpose it over some desert or ocean scene. Add some clouds. And they have people believing it's some giant explosion that can kill us all.
recoveringcultmember: FYI, a new born mushroom cloud is yellow ( or reddish-yellow) due to the formation of nitrous compounds because of the heat. They turn white later as condensation occurs. The footage is real.
You guys do realize that is is probably the "safest" and best war deterrent ever created. How many full scale wars have we had since WW2? I rest my case.
It's just napalm burning. Then they play it back in slow motion to make it look much bigger than it is. You can look at pictures and video of napalm burning, and you can see that it burns yellow, with smoke, just like this video.
@FrickaFreshTV The irony is that without nuclear weapons, there propably would have been third world war long time ago...it was the balance of fear, the fear of total annihilation that prevented Cold War from heating up to full scale war.
isn't it amazing that these are all day tests? It completely blocks out the sunlight with its own brilliance, just like the way the suns does for the stars.
@tamenga88 A lot of dirt was thrown in the air, as can be seen from the massive dust pedestal in tsar. But the fireball had cooled significantly, and barely any dirt was molten or vaporized, which is what traps radiation (since radiation isn't induced to any significant degree). 100+ million tonnes got thrown up in the air (either sucked up or molten, but millions of tonnes were vaporized in the blast) from Bravo.
Eliminating our nuclear weapons will accomplish nothing. It will only leave us vulnerable. The genie is out of the bottle. We can now only live with it.
@GEKGanon ya hopefully when amercia scraps dis idea and has a more powerful weapons we wont leave it all on da internet like how 2 make da a bomb -__- just cause we have nukes dat can blow up continents does not mean we should leave knoledge out on how to blow up a city
@GEKGanon you're a fucking moron it would take over 1 million b83 warheads (most powerful warheads the us owns today) to destroy all human life and guess what there are only about 8000 armed warheads (80% being much less powerful than the b83) that exist in the world currently.
Wow. Way to stay civil. When did I ever say we had enough nuclear weapons to kill everyone? I didn't. When did I say we had enough to destroy half of humanity? A quarter? A tenth? I didn't.
@variant126 it would take around 600 450kt warheads to destroy every major city in the world (judging from the blast radius which is 5 miles plus fallout and smoke). We have enough to destroy the surface of every continent, the nuclear winter, fallout, lack of resources, lack of food would be more then enough to kill most complex life on the surface so 1 million b83 (1.2mt) would be far more then needed.
@variant126 Correct, It would actually take something on the order of 150 Teratons to compeltely sterilize the Earth. 150 Teratons = 150,000,000 Megatons which almost rivials the asteroid that killed the Dinosaurs. Thing is every nuke on Earth combined only equals 5,000 Megatons. I hate it when people think one nuke will kill us all when in reality this nuke does'nt posses even 1% of the energy required to kill us all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey FUCK YOUR SELF your pussy ass would be dead right now if it werent for america. ever researched the cold war or WWI or WWII? yeah it took six of your shitty ass tanks to kill 1 russian one america has saved you UK ass so much you should be loving us instead of licking the queens asshole thanking her for socialisam so do some research and then will talk you british bastard
Small dicked white men? Yeah and the invasion rape and devastation of a neighbouring country (tibet), the using of human beings flesh in trade (sale of organs) and the killing of girls because their not boys can only be the invention of tiny wee microscopic dicked chinese men. Also, the theory and invention of nucs was largely by Jews not Nazis, you must be thinking of rockets.
to be honest the explosion isnt that bad i mean oh hell yea if your close to the explosion its going to kill you a bit obvious but its all about the fallout that affects the people thats what people need to learn
@Nuker1337 you are probadly right, because 4 miles could be deadly with a weapon that big but if this is really taken from 50 miles away, the mushroom cloud is more than what can be described as massive!!! This would be absolutely fucking amaising
@valkyrie1960s Yes, just the fireball was 4 miles wide. The mushroom cloud is expanding all the time, and would be at least 5 miles wide at the start of this video.
@Nuker1337 this is absolutely crazy!!!! Just imagine how much room on the ground would be covered by the cloud!! one could fit the center of every big city in the world inside the cloud, thats just so evil!
@Nuker1337 Comment is obvious rubbish. This was 15 MT test and anything closer than 10 miles was eradicated.

Maybe the comment is not related to Bravo, about testing in NTS, where only kiloton-yield devices were tested.
it is true that a nuke is terrible damage, but it still is quite exagerated, we only use TNT to test and simulate a nuke even though it dosnt do near the damage of a nuke, even if a nuke damage is highly overexagerated. NK giving government a scare cus established UN protocals state that a real nuke not be used, but NK using real ones anyways, and they are pretty close to a fault line, nukes are exagerated, but if ur as close to a fault line as NK, a nuke can cause quite a quake
nukes aren't exagerated my friend..ONE thermonuclear blast can level an entire metropolis, what the hell are you talking about? any ONE bomb that can level a city the size new york, chicago, LA, etc PLUS MOST OF IT'S SUBURBS is not to be fucked with. the blast/fire alone would kill 3-5 million if detonated over times square. then the fallout blows all over the place giving shitloads more ppl cancer. NK's nukes are nothing like that, but china, russia and the us have nukes that hit fucking HARD.
No shit. I heard that the Mike bomb, 10.5 megs would have obliterated all five New York city Burroughs. I mean that is hard to comprehend. All of those huge buildings in New York pretty much disappeared. 3rd degree burns at 40 miles. Its just a nightmare you cant even begin to process. Truly scary scary shit!!
Scary!! to put that bombs yield in perspective. Imagine the largest oil tanker you can think of stuffed to capacity with crates of tnt. Then line 50 of them up side by side. Put a long wick into it and light it.
the reason this is such, er, a big explosion is because they misscalculated and this was the result. if we trully wanted to we could make a nuke that would set out atmosphere aflame and well the rest is history. the world at gun-point, that is why it has been put to rest. not to include the after-effects of radiation. overexagerated, perhaps, but they tried to keep the blast as small as possible, a SMALL miscalculation an this is the result.

These weapons weren't made to destroy ourselves, that's what the American and Soviet governments wanted us all to believe. The truth is, these bombs were created to scare off advanced alien civilizations that were debating whether to annihilate us and colonize our planet. But when they saw how insane we were to create such monstrous weapons and came so close to actually using them on ourselves, the aliens thought "these motherfuckers are crazy, they're gonna destroy this planet, let's bounce"

Absolutely nothing we possess now is more efficient than energy generated by a nuclear reaction. The most powerful chemical bomb reactions are still in the order of 1,000,000 times less powerful than a nuclear bomb. I think we really should go back and investigate other ways of using nuclear energy in ways that minimize radioactive contamination, possibly by using Thorium or other fuels, as a solution to the energy crisis.

@valkyrie1960s
The Tsar test was Cleaner than even Bravo test.
No Joke.
Bravo was a Groundblast and based on a very Dirty design (Uranium tamper)
Both contribute significantly to fallout.
1000s of Tons of coral got irradiated and launched in the atmosphere leaving a 1.5 mile crater behind.
The Tsar test was done in the air and it had a lead tamper which means that 97% of it's energy was from Fusion.
Barely any dirt was tossed in the air.
tamenga88 1 year ago
@tamenga88 thanks for answering! yeah makes sense!
valkyrie1960s 1 year ago
@tamenga88 A lot of dirt was thrown in the air, as can be seen from the massive dust pedestal in tsar. But the fireball had cooled significantly, and barely any dirt was molten or vaporized, which is what traps radiation (since radiation isn't induced to any significant degree). 100+ million tonnes got thrown up in the air (either sucked up or molten, but millions of tonnes were vaporized in the blast) from Bravo.

GEKGanon 6 months ago
@variant126 it would take around 600 450kt warheads to destroy every major city in the world (judging from the blast radius which is 5 miles plus fallout and smoke). We have enough to destroy the surface of every continent, the nuclear winter, fallout, lack of resources, lack of food would be more then enough to kill most complex life on the surface so 1 million b83 (1.2mt) would be far more then needed.
onlyhuman2121 6 months ago
@variant126 Correct, It would actually take something on the order of 150 Teratons to compeltely sterilize the Earth. 150 Teratons = 150,000,000 Megatons which almost rivials the asteroid that killed the Dinosaurs. Thing is every nuke on Earth combined only equals 5,000 Megatons. I hate it when people think one nuke will kill us all when in reality this nuke does'nt posses even 1% of the energy required to kill us all.

scholarlylad85 1 year ago
@Nuker1337 Comment is obvious rubbish. This was 15 MT test and anything closer than 10 miles was eradicated. The width of the fireball 3 seconds after detonation was 4 miles according to the military report and standard distance of camera airplanes on this test was 50 miles, because photographic measuring was only way to get some data about these insanely hot radioactive balls of fire. Maybe the comment is not related to Bravo, about testing in NTS, where only kiloton-yield devices were tested.
ValpurgiusDeBragga 11 months ago
it is true that a nuke is terrible damage, but it still is quite exagerated, we only use TNT to test and simulate a nuke even though it dosnt do near the damage of a nuke, even if a nuke damage is highly overexagerated. NK giving government a scare cus established UN protocals state that a real nuke not be used, but NK using real ones anyways, and they are pretty close to a fault line, nukes are exagerated, but if ur as close to a fault line as NK, a nuke can cause quite a quake
TankyPanky1 2 years ago
nukes aren't exagerated my friend..ONE thermonuclear blast can level an entire metropolis, what the hell are you talking about? any ONE bomb that can level a city the size new york, chicago, LA, etc PLUS MOST OF IT'S SUBURBS is not to be fucked with. the blast/fire alone would kill 3-5 million if detonated over times square. then the fallout blows all over the place giving shitloads more ppl cancer. NK's nukes are nothing like that, but china, russia and the us have nukes that hit fucking HARD.

the reason this is such, er, a big explosion is because they misscalculated and this was the result. if we trully wanted to we could make a nuke that would set out atmosphere aflame and well the rest is history. the world at gun-point, that is why it has been put to rest. not to include the after-effects of radiation. overexagerated, perhaps, but they tried to keep the blast as small as possible, a SMALL miscalculation an this is the result.
