  • Fun Fact: It uses bad-quality music to annihilate the enemy.

  • 500kt?

  • Ivy King was a large fusion-boosted nuclear bomb. It wasn't quite a "pure fission" device, the small amount of tritium gas in the core created more neutrons, which increased the efficiency of the fission material.

  • lots of radiation...

  • @sidewalkere

    Correct. Ivy King was entirely fission. I don`t recall what was on my mind when I got into the fision-fusion-finish thing as a response to you.

  • @PikPobedy

    Yes, that happens in most fusion bombs. Which this was not. This was a pure fission device.

  • what kinda creepy propaganda music is this?

  • Dramatic.

  • Damn....thats is some scary stuff. 

  • Scary that you can fit that into each MIRV.8 mirv = 1 ICBM.

  • @ZsaZsaGaborFanatic

    u need to be in a cage deep deep underground and all of the remaining members of your family tree needs to be under close watch

  • @catra195 yup

  • Does anyone think this is a good thing?

  • 0:51 , sends shivers down my spine

  • it was a 500kt device... but think about it.. USA has the w88 tecnology, wich is something like 475kt in a 980~~kg bomb... thats not good.

  • @sidewalkere

    The fusion reaction is ignited by a fission reaction. The fusion reaction then ignites a fission reaction in the bomb jacket. Fission-fusion-fission.

  • How long have you been waiting to squeeze that into a conversation?

  • fai se fude seu noob

  • The Orange Herald was a fusion boosted weapon. Ivy King was pure fission.

  • doees anyone listen to operation ivy

  • Pretty Big FireBall For Water Detonation.^_-

  • Ivy King was enriched U. Not Pu. I stand corrected if that is true.

  • Most powerful fission weapon.

    It probably was boosted with a lithium deuteride tritide capsule to enhance neutrons and increase the Pu 239 fission yield.

  • this is the most powerful atom bomb but not the most powerful bomb

  • Looks a bit skinny..
