The Tsar Bomba 1961

Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба), literally "Tsar-bomb," is the nickname for the RDS-220 hydrogen bomb (codenamed "Ivan" by its developers)—the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.

Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT; however, the bomb was reduced by half in order to limit the amount of nuclear fallout that would result. One bomb was built and tested on October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. The weapon never entered service.

A mock bomb was stored in the Russian Nuclear Weapons Museum in Sarov.

[TitusFlavius79]

its william shatner , he is the narrator of this movie.

This is a lie. The US had already withdrawn from the moritorium on nuclear test.

[TitusFlavius79]

3.9.1961 ATMOSPHERIC TEST BAN PROPOSAL - In response to Soviet resumption of nuclear tests in the atmosphere on September 1, President Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan urge the Soviet Union to agree to a ban on atmospheric tests. Premier Khrushchev rejects this proposal. The United States resumes underground nuclear testing less than two weeks later, on September 15.

Politics is such a game. The US was just pissed the Russians beat them to the punch with the big bomb. I bet secretly they were developing the same type of shit.

Tsar bomb is the shit is sooo big its not even funny

[cpmondello]

a bit dramatic seeing as this was not used to destoy hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings like the 2 USA did. as for the USA and UN, the USA is the largest terrorist organization ever known to man, a rogue nation, expecting all others to follow International Law, while they refuse AND hold Veto power on decisions made at the very International Criminal Court that oversees the world. I can only hope I am gone when the US pays for its actions, 9/11 is just childs play to whats coming.

@Theplaymaker127 I believe the united states trying to ban athmospheric nuke testings is them trying to save the OZONE layer and the world by not creating a radioactive shockwave on the surface but inside the ground.

[WakeTheBeast666]

the good thing about nukes is that it keeps every country from constantly invaiding each other, thus saving lives but all that could be irrelevant if someone sets them all off

[tsartodd]

i don't know what's more impressive ... the Tsar Bomba itself, or the fact that in the 4+ years since this was first posted there are no Chuck Norris jokes in the comments (until now anyway).

[UseUrHead503]

haha the UN's policy is not to detonate any nukes eh? so the UN rules the world back then?... but seriously dude that Tsar bomba made the west extra shaky

[MrSjefie]

tsar is just a atomic

[deroboi]

WAAAHHH WAAAAH WAAHHHH. The US was just jealous that they couldn't make the TSAR BOMB.

[xMaJiiCz]

russia are the most feared, also why does no one argue with the russians because if someone threatns them then watch world, if the send 2 tsar bombs at the US or other country then they will be wiped out the planet
