5 Most Powerful Weapons In The World

1. TSAR BOMB

Tsar bomb (Russian: Царь-бомба) is a nickname for the RDS-220 hydrogen bomb (codenamed Ivan, after its constructor). It is the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Made by the USSR, the bomb was initially supposed to have a power of 100 megatons of TNT, but due to the excessive risk of radiation and the spread of reactive particles through the atmosphere, the power was halved. Two bombs were built, one real and one copy. Test The bomb was tested on October 30, 1961 at exactly 11:32 local time in the Nova Zemlja archipelago. The bomb weighed 27 tons, was 8 m long, and had a circumference of 2 m. It was so big that it could not fit in the largest bomber of that time, which is why certain changes were made to the bomber. The bomb was dropped from a height of about 10.5 km and detonated 4 km above the ground. The fireball that formed at that time was 8 km wide, and the mushroom formed after the explosion was 65 km high, and about 40 km wide at the bottom. The area with a diameter of 35 km around the bomb was completely destroyed. It never entered military service and was only a demonstration of Soviet power and technology at the time.
