In October 1961, the Soviet Union dropped the most powerful nuclear bomb in history. • over a remote island north of the Arctic Circle. • Though the bomb detonated nearly 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) above ground, the resulting shockwave stripped the island as bare and flat as a skating rink. • • Onlookers saw the flash more than 600 miles (965 km) away and felt its incredible heat within 160 miles (250 km) of Ground Zero. • • The bomb's gargantuan mushroom cloud climbed to just below the edge of space. • • This was RDS-220 also known as the Tsar Bomba. • • Nearly 60 years after the bomb's record-shattering detonation, no single explosive device has come close to matching its destructive power. • Last week, Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation (Russia's state atomic agency) released 40 minutes of previously classified footage, showing the bomb's journey from manufacturer to mushroom cloud. • Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev personally commissioned the construction of the Tsar Bomba in July 1961, Popular Mechanics reported. • While Krushchev wanted a 100-megaton nuclear weapon, engineers ultimately presented him with a 50-megaton version - equivalent to 50 million tons (45 million metric tons) of TNT detonated at once. • • Even with half of the premier's requested payload, the bomb was unfathomably powerful. • The bomb was thousands of times stronger than the nukes detonated by the United States over Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, and dwarfed the detonation of Castle Bravo - the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested by the United States - which yielded just 15 megatons (13 million metric tons). • #facts • #nuclear • #nuclearwar • #amazing • #sovietunion • #dropped • #power • #powerful • #history • #russia • Vist My Facebook Page: • https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... • My TickTock: • • tiktok.com/@factstoryreporterFingerprintevolution
