London: The Russian nuclear energy agency, Rosatom, has released a 40-minute video showing the world’s most powerful hydrogen bomb which was detonated in 1961.
Named the Tsar Bomba or Tsar’s Bomb, the bomb is claimed to have been at least 3,333 times more destructive than the atomic bomb that fell on Japan’s Hiroshima during World War II.
Having a yield of 50 megatons, the hydrogen bomb is considered to be a ‘clean bomb’ because it doesn’t leave much radioactive residue, unlike other nuclear weapons.
The bomb was delivered by a Soviet Tu-95 bomber to North Russian island Novaya Zemlya near the Artic. The bomb was released via a parachute and it detonated at 4,000 metres.
It exploded with a bright flash and created a mammoth dust cloud of 10 km diameter.
While the Americans had developed the first atomic bomb in the 1940s, the Soviets are believed to have gone ahead in the arms race by detonating the first hydrogen bomb during the Cold War area.
