In this video, we examine the zenith of nuclear excess: the Tsar Bomba. Developed by the Soviet Union in 1961, this three-stage thermonuclear device remains the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. We dive into the technical specifications and geopolitical significance of this massive undertaking.
You will learn why the original theoretical 100-megaton design was intentionally scaled down to 50 megatons to mitigate global radioactive fallout. We describe the harrowing delivery mission by a modified Tu-95V bomber and the sheer scale of the subsequent explosion, which created a mushroom cloud that reached the mesosphere. The analysis covers the blast's global footprint, generating seismic and atmospheric waves that circled the planet multiple times. Finally, we explore how this "overkill" weapon served as a propaganda tool that, paradoxically, accelerated international efforts toward nuclear arms control.
