I think the one for military service was scaled down to just 25 MT. Too impractical.

Novaya Zemlya is the island and has been pretty much decimated because of it.

Even this 50MT test was scaled down from the bombs full 100MT capacity.

Still this is not a weapon, just an experiment. The soviets had no way to practically deliver it.

Actually it was the Jews. Pontus Pilatus gave them the choice, remember?
