Tsar Bomba - Largest Nuclear Device Ever Tested (50MT)

[1K3]

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

[Masherbrum]

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

[GRUNHERZ]

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.

[Debonair]

iirc tsar bomba was an airdropped test, from one of then kewl bear turboprops

There is an old anekdote about this blust.

Kurchatov: Comrade Stalin, yes, we thought the blast will be equivalent to 15-20 megatons....

Stalin: So?!

Kurachatov: A ono kak ebnet......

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

[john9001]

but it was the Romans that actually carried it out.

how did estel's russians get in on it?

[Viking]

Maybe he's a Russian Jew?

[john9001]

the Romans did use foreign troops in their legions, maybe it was a Russian Jewish roman legion?

[Viking]

Yes, I think you might be on to something here.
