Tsar Bomba Declassified Documentary Upscaled 4K60 [Read Description] [Turn on CC]

Captions Available in English.
I saw that the original video was released at 480p and 25 fps and that just couldn't do it justice, so I upscaled the video to 4k and used optical flow to make the framerate a smooth 60fps. I hope you enjoy.
Watch and draw your own conclusions. Since this was created during the Soviet Union, it is probably propaganda to show its might but the footage of the explosion is real.

They could have had more than 100 Mt, but left out the additional uranium tampers that would have boosted the explosion, on account of the extreme fallout that would have resulted.

Not really. The distance is almost a thousand kilometers. The Olenya base is set deep inland, and is screened from the coastline by 150 kilometers of hills and plateaus which would contain and disperse any wind blast.

[@_xtreme.]

beauty . 97% of fusion . Cleanest nuke ever build. pure clean energy

[@kzm1934]

It’s clean but not the cleanest built. To public knowledge, that title probably goes to Sunset Housatonic (RIPPLE II). Roughly 99.9% fusion.

[@kolbola]

The real problem is not the clarity of the initial explosion, even if it was 97% clean fusion. The real problem is the aftermath, because the fusion itself - even if it was a clean energy output - generated ultra high energy neutron flux, which activated the sorrunding stable material of the environment to isotopes. That's why there is no so called "clean" nuclear weapon, even if the fusion portion is so high. That was the biggest surprise of the neutron bomb as well. The good old 70's biggest and most promising achievment was the "perfect" nuclear weapon, the neutron bomb. The ultimate tool of the manageable nuclear war. Just a scaled down ultra clean fusion weapon with a very low yield. Low yield - low blast - low physical destruction, but extreme high energy neutron flux -> only the living organism going to be destroyed. Yeah!... And they realized that the whole environment is going to be isotopes. Nice...

[@oporim]

Dude. Relative "clean" percent means absolutely nothing, if the bomb (as you say) put equivalent of 1.5 MT PURE FISSION products high into the startosphere, that cloud circled around the entire Earth, and the shockwave circled the Earth twice. It may be cleanest in a relative sense, but in absolute sense it's actually VERY DIRTY. Not to mention that fusion is not radioactively innocent either.

[@kerentolbert5448]

​@kolbola Every thermal nuclear bomb begins its reaction by the fission of U235 or Pu238, giving it energy and the environment to fuse hydrogen. The consumption of either element is not complete.

It's a shame Rosatom released the film scan in 480p. They clearly had a very high quality scan and conducted top notch processing. It was unfortunately limited to a 480p resolution, which was then worsened by KZbin compression. To make matters worse, they set the video as private at least twice, and that's how it is nowadays, so all we have now are reuploads, which always come with even more compression. I wish we had a true 1080p scan, though I don't mind it being 25 fps. That's just the original standard for television in the SECAM system, which is present in Russia, and is the framerate at which the film was actually shot at.

[@KEmil-zl7xp]

Ich denke, gerade in der Anfangszeit der Kernwaffenforschung und -entwicklung weckten solche Aufnahmen eher Gefühle von Hoffnung darauf, sicher vor feindlichen Invasionen zu sein. Bei vielen Menschen in der Sovjetunion in den 50ern und 60ern war die Erinnerung an den Einfall der Deutschen ab 1941 noch sehr präsent. Das hat sich mit dem immer drastischeren Wettrüsten dann sicher in eine Angst vor der nuklearen Eskalation gewandelt. Ich bin mir aber auch sicher, dass es schon damals, beim Test der Zar-Bombe, mehr als genug Menschen gegeben hat, die das erschaudert hat. Sicher ist, dass auch in der zivilen Kernforschung in den 50ern mehr Licht als Schatten gesehen wurde, das war einfach die ultimative Form der Energiebereitstellung und gab Anlass, von Höherem zu träumen. Ideen von der Weltraumkolonisation z.B. in Sci-Fi-Romanen hatten Aufwind, in den USA gab es Nuklear-Experimentierkästen für Jugendliche mit radioaktiven Bestandteilen usw. usf.. Aus heutiger Sicht vielleicht schwer nachvollziehbar, da wir einige "Zwischenfälle" bzw. Unfälle mit Reaktoranlagen weiter sind und einige Beispiele dafür haben, wie knapp wir an einer nuklearen Konfrontation vorbeigeschrammt sind, aber geschichtliche Phänomene soll man ja bekanntermaßen immer aus ihrer Zeit heraus betrachten. Von daher ist die Frage, ob wir es wirklich verdient haben, auf diesem Planeten zu leben, vielleicht gar nicht so einfach zu beantworten. Die klügsten Köpfe haben genauso dafür gesorgt, dass die Pocken ausgelöscht werden, vielleicht der größte Triumph der Medizinwissenschaft überhaupt. Ist halt der Fluch einer intelligenten Spezies, es ist ein Wettrennen von Selbsterhaltung und Selbstzerstörung. Was wird sich wohl am Ende durchsetzen?

Not really. To understand it right away you need to be Russian. The word "Product" here was taken as and adaption to English, and in matter like this is not 100% correct. In Russian the word was used is "Изделие"(Izdeliye), which more close to "Creation" rather then product. Word's "Изделие"("Izdeliye") verb form is "Делать"(Delat') which means - "to do". As a synonym the closest would be "to make", "to create", "to manufacture" or to "craft" ... like "making"(as noun) or "creation". While word Product(Продукт) also usually used in Russian and have exact same meaning as English one, and more related to the market and goods, with the idea as something that you can produce & sell, also in Russian its being used as Product of chemical reaction(ex: Products of burning, like gases and nonrefineable wastes left in the air after burning something(ex: fuel, oil, plastic, etc...). The problem is English do not have other legit nouns rather then "product" to make it more specific & less confusing.

[@michaelmoser4537]

The Proton / UR-500 rocket was designed to carry this extremely heavy bomb, but they somehow dropped the idea (interesting, what caused this change in plans?). Wikipedia says: '""Proton[12] started its life as a "super heavy ICBM". It was designed to launch a 100-megaton (or larger) thermonuclear weapon over a distance of 13,000 km. It was hugely oversized for an ICBM and was never deployed in such a capacity. It was eventually used as a space launch vehicle"" The rocket was later used to launch all soviet space stations, it was also used to launch components of the ISS. Also interesting: why didn't the USA build a bomb of equivalent yield? how did the US military allow this 'bomb gap' to pass?

It was really a 100mgt bomb, but scientists decided to lower its power to 50. It didn't work quite well and lowered only to 58 mgt, but imagine what could've happened to earth if they didn't do it...

[@ОльгаМостенская-с4н]

Your right, it will be extreme to our Planet Earth. So, the 50 MGT Tsar Bomba shattered windows in Norway, (1000 miles away) and the shockwave travelled around the globe 3 times. So your technically right, it’ll be bad to our earth. *(What i said is a theory and taken from another comment, so this may not be true.)*

Bro, whenever it shows all of the smoke clouds, that is just insane of how big it is it is scary knowing that that’s actually what the bomb mushroom crowd look like by the way I still don’t have no or have figured out if this footage is real or not but it’s very realistic because there’s no way somebody just recorded this happening

Some say the parachute was never found.

Hopefully they will release the testing of the Petrel (Thunderbird) aka Буревестник sometime in the future in 4k quality.

[@pabf2745]

The explosion was so big, that there was NO radiation, the complete segment of the atmosphere was ejected to the outer space (converting the Earth into a rocket like)

[@kvassinc]

This was also influenced by the design of the bomb, attempts were made to limit pollution.

[@chavdarnaidenov2661]

Classified? On the contrary. It is obviously a news film, made to be shown in movie theaters.The explosion came at a very tense moment at the end of the 50s due to the fast nuclear armament by the US. It was announced to the world personally by Nikita Khrustchev who invited the Western leaders to think it over. Memoirs, published much later indicate that the test actually dampened the enthusiasm of the Pentagon. We may be alive today thanks to Tzar-Bomba. ( I wonder when it was colorized).
