Type : Air Burst - Air Drop
Predicted Yield : ~50000 kilotons
Actual Yield : 50000 kilotons
The Tsar Bomba is the King of all Bombs. No other man made explosion has come close to the power of 1961 Tsar Bomba test. Tested by the Soviet Union, its yield was ten times greater then all of the munitions exploded during World War 2. The irony of the Tsar bomb was that despite its power, it was useless as a weapon. ---
The actual development of the bomb began in July 1961. The device was designed to have a yield of 100 megatons, as requested by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. The Soviet Union did not make the development of the bomb secret, in fact, it was well publicized. Nikita Khrushchev repeatedly made claims the Soviet Union had a 100 megaton bomb, and that a scaled-down version of the device would be tested.
A nuclear testing moratorium suspended all tests since 1958. The decision to resume testing by the Soviet Union was a calculated one, designed to coincide with the recent erection of the Berlin Wall in August of 1961. Weapons designers and scientists conjured up new kinds of nuclear weapons designs to be tested, including the Tsar Bomba.
The Tsar drop plane was to be piloted by Major Andrei E. Durnovtsev, who would be made Hero of the Soviet Union following the test. Once there, the bomb would be released at an altitude of 33,600 feet. Barometric sensors inside to bomb were set so that the bomb would explode at an altitude of 13,000 feet. The massive parachute deployed, giving the bomber enough time to reach a safe distance. All crew members put on darkened goggles to protect their eyes from the brilliant flash of light. Six camera crews were assigned to film the explsion, both from the air and from the ground. Major General Nikolai Pavlov, head of the design team and test supervisors, monitored the test 1000 kilometers away at the Olenya base.
One second after detonation, the fireball was over 4 miles wide. Despite the high altitude of the test, the fireball swelled down to the Earth抯 surface almost licking the ground. The shockwave of the blast almost killed the crew of the Tu-95 that dropped the plane as the fireball almost reached the height of the release plane. Despite cloudy skies, the flash of light was clearly visible 1,600 miles away. The shockwave destroyed buildings and tore roofs off of homes hundreds of miles from ground zero. Windows in Norway and Finland were shattered. The scientific settelment on the Matochkin Strait called Severney, some 35 miles south of the explosion, was devastated. The thermal pulse of the blast was felt 500 miles from the epicenter. Radio communications were knocked out for an hour and no word of the safety of the Tu-95 and its crew could be reported for some time.
One observer described the test: "The clouds beneath the aircraft and in the distance were lit up by the powerful flash. The sea of light spread under the hatch and even clouds began to glow and became transparent. At that moment, our aircraft emerged from between two cloud layers and down below in the gap a huge bright orange ball was emerging. The ball was powerful and arrogant like Jupiter. Slowly and silently it crept upwards.... Having broken through the thick layer of clouds it kept growing. It seemed to suck the whole earth into it. The spectacle was fantastic, unreal, supernatural." A cameraman man recalled seeing "a powerful white flash over the horizon and after a long period of time he heard a remote, indistinct and heavy blow, as if the earth has been killed!

gila tol... agAKNYA MCM NIE NAK KIAMAT
takkan terbayang & terbanding apa2 yg ada kat dunia ni dgn hari qiamat & akhirat ..
sedangkan api yg ada kat dunia ni pun, hanya setara sebiji sawi
itupun dah ditapis2 kepanasannya sebelum dibawa ke dunia ..
kesannya? tengok je .. kalau disambar sekilas pun dah melecur teruk
inikan pula hari qiamat & akhirat ..
kalu saintis2 jewish ni tak kuar dari negara jerman atau jerman tak tindas jewish... aku rase kuasa besar sekarang ada kuasa axis, germany..... bom atom ni adalah kerja2 saintis jewish di projek mahattan, first projek divelop atom bomb mengikut formula einstein e=mc2, kebanyakan saintis ni dari negara germany atau eastern europe.. dorang so genius, zaman tu digelar jewish pyhsic era... terutama fizik in theorytical and fizik atom and kuantum fizik
