The fact that the Tsar Bomba was never used is so underwhelming. Just think about it. The bomb that destroyed Hiroshima had an explosive yield of 15 kilotons and killed 140,000 people. In comparison, the Tsar Bomba had a yield of 50,000 kilotons (50 megatons). This makes it more than 3,300 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. Just imagine what it would be like if that shit was dropped on Manhattan or London. The destruction it would cause is hard to even comprehend. The fact that we never got to see it in action is just kind of disappointinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtCTzbh4mNQ.
Soon.
>>542038723Base and Tsar Bomba pilled.
>>542038697It really doesn't look that impressive.
>>542038697Soon. But Unironically.
>>542038697Soon. But post-ironically.
>>542038697I WOULD DROP IT.
>>542038697It's pretty pointless considering it was too heavy for an ICBM. >>542038723You guys are too big of pussies to even do an above ground test let alone use nukes on a population center.
>>542038697It's a Chekov's Gun, it has to be used in the third act since it was set up in the first.
>>542038723Voronezh people better prepare their buttcheeks
>>542038697And the nice thing about her was that the radiation was close to 0.Now that the skies are clean it is time to clean hoholand
>>542038697It's actually pointless to have nukes over 100 kilotons or so in warfare if you can hit with precision. The reason the Russians went large is because their aim was shit. The Tsar Bomba was a huge waste and most of the energy went straight into space.
>>542038723you're going to drop it on israel, right?
>>542039184>It's actually pointless to have nukes over 100 kilotons or so in warfare if you can hit with precisionWhat is your enemy is India?
>>542038697Did you know that Russians reduced its yield by 1/2 (from 100 to 50MT) just prior to the detonation because of some fears that it would ignite the atmosphere?Yeah, this thing can do 100MT!>>542038878YES
>>542038697I fuckin LOVE mushrooms
>>542039184>The reason the Russians went large is because their aim was shityou're fucking retarded.
>>542038697The issue was that it was undeliverable and everyone knew it. We knew that there was no theoretical upper limit to the size of thermonuclear bomb you could build. But it was pointless to build one that big for anything other than a diplomatic dick measuring contest. Even the Russians knew that this was never going to be a real bomb that would ever be deployed. They had a couple of 20 megaton boys stashed away for use against hardened targets like Cheyenne Mountain and SAC HQ in Omaha. And they had to build them that big because they couldn't hit shit accurately. We had a few 10 megaton bombs, but we could land a warhead to within 10 meters of its intended target, so we had more, but smaller, warheads that didn't have to be gigantic because they could land where we wanted them.
>>542039556Russia did not have the American guidance and targeting so they resorted to multi megaton devices. Feel free to look it up.
>>542039531They actually reduced the yield because they already knew they were going to be contaminating huge swaths of their country with the 58 megaton version. And, once you go much bigger, most of the bombs energy is radiated into space anyway, so it was pointless to go that big.
>>542038697>Just imagine what it would be like if that shit was dropped on Manhattan or London. The destruction it would cause is hard to even comprehend.A few things, The weapon was a stunt, and wasnt practical to deliver. The bomb bay doors couldnt close on the Tu-95 and the plane was very close to being in a region where the plane would have been destroyed by the blast - its hard to get far enough away from the deployed weapon to even survive the deployment.The other thing is both sides went to MIRVs simply because ten 1 megaton bombs do a heck of lot better job at destroying a city than one 50-100 megaton megabomb. ..Also consider than nukes are fake and gay and a jewish tool. I have spent a chunk of my life curious and asking military men questions. I have met pretty much every type of military man, snipers, special forces, techs, engineers, senior officers, grunts, contractors, etc, Ive met sub mariners, carrier guys, etc, and I've yet to hear a single first hand account of nuclear weapons. I have yet to get someone to tell me the have ever even seen one. Even the missileers in the silos are not weapons handlers - people think they polish and shine warheads, nope, they've never seen one either. Go on your own mission to find someone who has ever seen, let alone touched, a nuclear weapon. You will find its a jewish story to create fear. The jews need to be destroyed utterly and to the last and dont let their jewish stories of nukes scare you from your mission.Destroy the jew.
>>542039556>>542039720He's right. I said as much here >>542039671The issue is that you need precise geodesic measurements for precision ballistics. And they just didn't have that. We did.
>>542038697booooooOOOOOOOOMMMMBAAAAAAaaaaaa
>>542039671>>542039735>undeliverableLol you can make a sub-drone narco-tech tier easily and detonate it in the US east coast or the north seaOr inside a tanker or a merchant ship
>>542040150>Lol you can make a sub-drone narco-tech tier easily and detonate it in the US east coast or the north sea>Or inside a tanker or a merchant shipNukes arent real, they are a jewish trick.I dont care if they are and this happened.The jews need to be destroyed and the only thing Im afraid of is a future with jews in it.If the Tsar Bomba was practical they would have stockpiled it.The hypersonics are popular now and as they get cheaper they are impossible to defend against. I dont live in fear of jewish propaganda. I only care that the jews and the synagogue of satan are cleaned off the planet.
>>542040150Sure. But why? I mean, I know it's a niche topic that basically no one understands anymore, especially you. But this just isn't how nuclear strategy works.
I imagine it would be almost comically easy to transport it by ship in the middle of london these days given the collapse of trust, just shield the whole thing saying it's refugees or whatever and it's done
>>542039671It would've been interesting if they'd come up with a nuclear shaped charge or a nuclear pumped X ray laser. You could use much smaller devices to penetrate hundreds of yards of rock. I think that was one of Teller's ideas.
>>542038892>It's pretty pointless considering it was too heavy for an ICBM.It was halved in strength. Theoretically they can make the same powerful bomb with roughly half the weight.It also ignores that it was the most advanced technology at the time.
>>542039735north korea is free of kike science and they have nukes
>>542040390>I think that was one of Teller's ideas.It was. It was one of the key components of the Star Wars SDI system. They wanted orbiting warheads that would generate X-ray lasers to destroy incoming warheads. The problem was they wouldn't work well in the atmosphere because x-rays are attenuated too quickly. At that point, a ground burst would have been a lot less effort.
>>542040539>north korea is free of kike science and they have nukesDoubt and dont care. I dont believe jewish stories about detonations underground, etc. The jews need to be destroyed once and for all. Nukes are a jewish story meant to scare white people into inaction.
>>542039556My leaf nigger friend, you are the retard. This is exactly why Russia had multimegaton warheads. The US had the same issue until we invented the inertial guidance reference sphere. Also, this thread is retarded because the Tsar Bomba was barely deliverable, and no, it will not fit on an ICBM
>>542039531Another reason they reduced the yield was because if the original 100 megaton bomb had been detonated, the plane that dropped it would 100% have been caught in the blast and destroyed. When they dropped the 50 megaton bomb, they attached a parachute to it to slow it's fall so the plan could get away. Even then, they still weren't sure that the plane could get far enough away in time, and the crew knew they were risking their lives.
>>542040555This is where the real Rods from God story came from from, because they would either use motorized rods of gold or tungsten surrounding the warhead (or whatever high z material) to collimate the X-ray pulse in a specific direction.
Notice the secretly ultra jingoistic and narcissistic Anglos and Americans trying to hide the success of this bomb behind how "useless" it is using false narratives.The bomb was much stronger in the blueprint than what was detonated, it was deliberately weakened, and in the end it's the superior technology compared to US nukes that matters in the end.The USSR continued to make more practical but still extremely big nukes in the 70-80s where they don't have to circumsize the bombs like they were an Amerimutt baby, while the majority of US nukes are drastically smaller and extremely old from the 60s or even earlier.
>>542038697There were roughly a hundred satellites orbiting earth when they dropped the Tsar and it took out a third of them with the EMP. It would be suicide to use or even test a weapon like that today.
>>542038697>Tsar Bomba was neverFTFY
>>542038697Didn't they tested it on our atmosphere?Lol you naive mormons don't think they used it, I can imagine a russian mathematician calculating the hole in the ozone layer
>>542038723We appreciate your desire to lower the crime rate in America, but please come up with real solutions, not imaginary ones.We have plenty of those already and they don't seem to be working.
>>542040802>mushroom clouds are chemicalwhat a sad and to a good schizopostany explosion big enough yields a mushroom cloud... if anything, chemical weapons would yield the smallest upward-explosion as they are optimized to spread the goodies at soil or building height
>>542038697>muh heckin' nooks>the cattle still believe this
>>542038697>Just imagine what it would be like if that shit was dropped on Manhattan or Londonor Tel Aviv
>>542040856no, although there were a bunch of high altitude testshttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rainbow_bombtsar bomba was air burst but left a crater if I remember correctly... anyway they planned to make it 100MT but ended up just 50MT
>The sound wave reached Dikson Island, about 430 to 480 miles (approx. 700 to 780 km) away> The atmospheric pressure change from the blast was recorded as far away as New Zealand, over 11,000 miles away, after traveling across the planet.>The seismic and atmospheric waves circled the Earth multiple times.
>>542040802>nuclear technology is fakekek this is your brain on a couple years of /pol/
>>542038723Pls no, I don't want to get tsaar'd
>>542038697You would be disapointed.I could erase a mega-city, but then what?Would that truly scratch the itch? Of course not.
>>542038844That picture was taken well over 100 miles away.
>>542041210nothing can scratch the itch unless it's india getting nuked back to the stone ageand you don't even need big bombs for that
>>542038697Turn off your AC, Bruce.
>>542039763That's funny. "Even if I miss I can't miss"
>>542040750Not at all. It was a huge technical accomplishment. But since we're the ones who literally invented thermonuclear warheads, we weren't exactly impressed with something we could have built ourselves. But didn't because it was pointless.
>>542042732The Pershing 1 missile system the US Army deployed in Germany had a 400 kt warhead because it would only land within 400 meters of its intended target. The Pershing 2 had an upgraded guidance system that used a radar map of the target. It could land within 50 meters of its target. So we reduced the warhead down to something like 80 kt. No need to waste resources on something that could actually hit its target.
>>542040802>Russoids can't even invent indoor plumbing>Washing machines are alien technology for the average Zigger>But they totally invented this super spoopy technologyHow the fuck did Boomers ever fall for this scam?
how many nogs does one need to get the same destructive effect as a nuclear bomb?
>>542043904I makes sense when you remember that the USSR had a completely state owned, planned economy. The government directed massive amounts of funding and recourses towards military technology. They weren't interested in basic luxuries and consumer goods. If the government had instead directed all their scientists and engineers towards making washing machines and household appliances, they'd have really nice washing machines.
russia only attacks its backwards former satellite states
>>542040750The US could have made a nuke as big as that, it had plans for similar ones but it was deemed impractical. Once you know how to make a hydrogen bomb scaling it up further isn't that impressive. It was too big to fit on a missile making it pointless.>don't have to circumsize the bombsThe US and everyone else including Russia uses lots of smaller nukes on guided missiles these days because it's a better strategy than having a huge bomb on a big slow plane that would probably be shot down before it got close to a target.

>>542045080What's wrong with Kasparov?
>>542044276That. And the some commie jews involved in the Manhattan project shaved about 20 years off of their efforts to develop the bomb by providing them with classified data. If it weren't for them, the Soviets wouldn't have had their first bomb before we had more than enough to erase them from history.
nukes are fake and gay
>>542045443The comment was about the USSR dumping money into things to make them nice. Garry is a result of one of those things. Nothing about him personally, he seems cool enough.

>>542038723drop it on israel you vodka twat

>>542038697All nukes are fake Ussr gov were western spies (they literally stole all food and send in west in 1920 and 1945)
>>542039184The "Tsar Bomba" was a science experiment like Castle Bravo; it was not a practical weapon design.The highest-yield bomb design ever fielded as an actual weapon was a US one, the B-43 with around 25MT yield.
