RDS-220.

This is coolbert:

RDS-220 = Tsar Bomba.

Courtesy our good frineds at The Barents Observer the DECLASSIFIED Soviet documentary the detonation of the largest nuclear device [bomb] ever. Tsar Bomba [King Bomb].


"Photos and short video clips have previously been available, but this unseen 40 minutes declassified footage of the Soviet Union’s monster nuclear bomb give a whole new insight into what happened on Novaya Zemlya on October 30, 1961."


Detonation of Tsar overwhelming. Was supposed to be a one-hundred megaton bomb but scaled-down to fifty-two megatons. Bomb carried to target by specially painted [anti-flash] Tu-95 BEAR bomber, Tsar slung under the warplane rather than carried in the bomb-bay compartment. That apparatus of personnel and equipment as needed to monitor the test astounding. My understanding is that thermo-nuclear weapons can be scaled-up to any size desired. Good luck with that.
