@@supertruckertom These are not what would worry me. Two things that worry me that came out of the Cold War and Soviet Union specifically, were the Deadhand system and Cobalt Bombs. Cobalt Bombs are Thermonuclear weapons with a cobalt 59 lining. When detonated and fused the cobalt-59 changes to cobalt-60 , then falls to the earth as horrifically longer lasting and substantially more intense radiation. This makes waiting in shelter for the fallout to decay to safe levels unattainable. Cobalt bombs were considered to be the ultimate area denial "Doomsday" weapons. Even worse than Cobalt Bombs is the Deadhand system. The Soviet Union claimed to have developed and implemented a system that could recognize a nuclear detonation anywhere on Soviet soil. The system would then automatically launch a full Nuclear strike using the last updated list of pre-selected targets without any further human input. It was claimed that the reason for the system was that even in the event of a surprise attack, taking out all Soviet command and control mutual destruction would be assured. There were supposedly several close calls with the system nearly registering false detonations. There are rumors and speculation that Russia may have reactivated an updated version of this system.

@@Mgl1206 Not really the "equivalent" of the B-29. While it is true that the Tu-95 is a result of the Soviets reverse engineering the Boeing B-29, it's a very different beast and far superior to the B-29. For starters, the B-29 used 4 radial piston engine with one prop for each engine. The Tu-95 uses turbo-props which uses turbines, and each of the four engines has a pair of counter-rotating props. The B-29 had straight wings while the Tu-95 uses swept wings for better aerodynamics. And since the Tu-95 has remained the Soviet/Russian Federation's primary strategic bomber all this time it has been updated with much more modern technology and avionics over the years. The Tu-95 still remains the fastest prop-driven aircraft ever made.

Nuke Map does a good job at helping one understand the size of different nuclear detonations. It gives rough calculations of the prompt radiation, thermal burns, pressure of the shockwave, crater, fireball, and rough understanding of fallout. My favorite metric to use is try to see how much far the nuke can reliably break windows. Turns out it can be quite difficult to break all the windows in a state or a European country even with a shit ton of nukes.

[@josephburchanowski4636]

@@exsappermadman25055 "Richard P Feynman knew that a certain kind of light would make you go blind," Probably infrared, as large parts of the infrared spectrum are absorbed by glass and in large nukes it is the second most damaging thing after the shockwave. It mostly just heats things up, but it turns out our eyes are very vulnerable to direct heating. Often the immense infrared radiation produce by a nuke is known as the thermal pulse, depending on the nukes size and distance it can catch wood of fire, give third degree burns to any exposed skin, and of course cause flash blindness to an insane distance if you decide to look at the nuke. Random side note about infrared light. Some of those powerful green lasers when too cold will stop emitting in green, and emit entirely in infrared. If it doesn't have a good filter on it to block the infrared light, you can have a powerful, invisible, and eye damaging beam. Many people have gotten permanent eye damage thinking their laser was broken and trying to see what was wrong with it.

when additives enter the blast, it is a dirty bomb - if those non explosives are an isolate, the material compounds in various ways, usually with flash, and depending on the element or compound used, the particles can super charge, hold for days, increase luminance, poison clouds, spread out fast, resist melting & create hot hail - plus, with any or some of those in the air, if the spiked warhead also hits the ground (or very close to it), the magnify aspect, radioactive soil, and strong downward thrust (appx 400-500ft), will float the soil & tainted, radical ions more level across the zone, leaving low hanging matter to permeate every alcove and penetrate bunkers & cellars.. just the release of one detonated warhead (15 to 20meg) is considered no less than the full industrial output of a medium sized nation, all at once; as they continually laid out with 'untargeted' nukes, for data, in underground & low to high stratos conditions, we are seeing the major contributing factor responsible for atmospherically permanent expansions of the density our sky has become over time, which is contacting more stellar winds than it's ever been bombarded with - this excites ions with far more energy, which, in turn blankets our outer sphere, creates friction, bringing electron flood & mixing with expansive gases & causing an exacerbation of global heat.. at the rate of secret testing that we hear of later, we're not only gonna lose on keeping our natural gas or petroleum to operate mechanical devices, we at this stage must (or should) plan, accordingly, remove guber managements for 'we the people' so this can be controlled more efficiently (main science has been letting it slide to polity punks).. if the appointed and elected are unwilling or insufficiently prepared (or use it as a money hole), the unity of the able citizens can draw on veritable resources, without red-tape, gubers, or consultants - because unity for a dire cause only happens when focused on the pertinent task (a weakness of capitol hill) and diligent with organized completion of that task (through proper understanding); gubers must exploit it for more pork bills & professors just move way too slow as their requests & experiments do not fight hard nor are they diligent..!!

What i find even scarier than this is the fact that the tsar bomb was only 1/3rd of its original planned size. The Russians actually discovered how to indefinitely increase the power of an explosion, and had planned to test the Tsar bomb 3 times more powerful than what was dropped. However, scientists last minute concluded that an explosion of that power would literally destroy the Earth, so they toned it down. And what's even more crazy is that the Tsar bomb is nothing compared to the explosive power of the cosmos. Explosions can be truly staggering

[@onehillyboi]

The Tzar Bomba, when it was planned to be tested, the Soviets feared its destruction so they toned it down to HALF intensity. Even at half its potential power, it was still the largest man-made explosion ever created

[@bighands69]

The problem in that era with the technology, physics and maths available is that they really found it difficult to actually scale the detonation. The US test Bravo was suppose to yield 15 megatons but it went much higher than that and probably was at the scale of the Tsar. It was realized in the US that the super large detonations were not practical as a weapons system as they were so large and so heavy that there was no real means of delivery. That is why they focused on smaller scale actuate systems hence why half the US arsenal today is low yield systems that have a very high likelihood of reaching their intended target.

[@DakotaTheRota]

Remember that the only reason the US didn't make one of this size was because they didn't want to, hydrogen bombs have a near infinite explosive power. So as long as you have the correct Hydrogen isotope, the bomb can keep getting bigger. Thankfully the US decided smaller more accurate bombs would be more useful for nuclear war, to limit casualties and radiation. For evidence, the US's biggest bomb was a mistake, Castle Bravo, it was 2.5 times the size it was supposed to be (16 megatons is what Castle Bravo was, it was planned to be about 6 megatons) and the country's biggest bomb now is only 1.5 megaton

[@randommadness1021]

To be fair, there isn't any radiation from a hydrogen bomb. As far as big bombs go, it's actually quite a "clean" bomb as far as radiation goes.

This is about the largest a weapon exploded on earth can be without damaging the attacking country. But indeed the entire point of the Teller-Uman design is that it can scale up to arbitrary size. In the 90’s Teller published about MUCH larger nuclear devices for use in planetary defense for blowing up asteroids, up to and including the size of Pluto.

[@smallandstressed2364]

I’m pretty sure that nuclear testing was restricted after this, but there are ideas for bigger bombs - I think there were a few based on theoretical physics, but I can’t remember what exactly.

[@wendydelisse9778]

There have been news reports of a Russian 100-megaton torpedo. If used in some future war to sink just one ship such as an oil tanker in the open ocean, the future use by the Russians of such a 100-megaton nuclear topedo to sink just one ship could arguably be considered to be a case of nuclear overkill. However, the Russians are most likely thinking that such a powerful torpedo during some future war could sink every ship docked in an enemy port city, and at the same time exhibit collateral damage in the form of making an anti-Russian port city region such as New York City or Los Angeles too radioactive for people to live in for a century or so afterward. Some people say that the Cold War between Russia and America never really ended, meaning that the nuclear arms race could very easily still be going on between the two superpowers. Now in the year 2021, who really knows what ghastly nuclear weapons have been created by the superpowers? My guess is that even the leaders of the two superpowers have not been told by their own military men about entire classes of various Cold War weapons systems of various sorts, Cold War weapons systems invented perhaps many decades ago that only the military men and the weapons manufacturers know about.
