Why the Soviets built such a massive bomb to begin with, and how it became one of the cleanest nuclear bombs ever detonated, why the inventor of the largest nuclear bomb received a peace prize from the inventor of dynamite, how manufacturing the bomb allegedly caused a shortage of women’s stocking in the Soviet Union, and why the yield of the bomb was cut in half in a last minute decision, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #long

You probably need to qualify with "all explosives used in all the wars in human history", as the mining industry consumes large quantities of cheap explosives like ANFO. I did a quick search and found some USGS PDFs that suggest the scale of mining explosives sales is on the order of a few megatons per year. Of course you can also add the phrase "including both of the WW2 atomic bombings", as including that particular +0.040 MT seems to blow people's minds for some reason.

By the time the Tsar Bomba was built it was already clear that thermonuclear explosives could be built practically as large as one wanted. There were also plans to use them, not as weapons, but to drag lakes, canals and bays. Of course the radioactive fallout, small as it could be made would still pose a problem. From the ethical point of view it certainly posed a problem if they were used as weapons. Sakharov was right to call a stop to the madness.

You overestimate the influence of the totalitarianism of the USSR, in fact, much was decided collectively within the framework of interested collectives. For example, a simple worker could speak out about anything (except politics) and he would be listened to, the trade unions had the power. In the end, the T-15 project was implemented. "Status-6" is its continuation. Also, people like Sakharov have a different type of thinking. "Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds." In his memoirs, Academician Sakharov wrote about his own idea of a nuclear torpedo, which arose much later than the development of the T-15, after successful tests in 1961 of the 50 (100)-megaton AN602 aerial bomb: I decided that such a carrier could be a large torpedo launched from a submarine. I fantasized that it was possible to develop a ramjet water-steam atomic jet engine for such a torpedo. The enemy's ports should be the target of an attack from a distance of several hundred kilometers. The body of such a torpedo can be made very strong, it is not afraid of mines and barrage nets. Of course, the destruction of ports - both by a surface explosion of a torpedo with a 100-megaton charge that "jumped out" of the water, and by an underwater explosion - is inevitably associated with very large human casualties. One of the first people I discussed this project with was Rear Admiral Fomin... He was shocked by the "cannibalistic nature" of the project and noticed in a conversation with me that sailors were used to fighting an armed enemy in open combat and that the very idea of such a mass murder was disgusting to him. I was ashamed and never discussed this project with anyone else. For reasons of secrecy, the T-15 torpedo was first developed without the participation of the Navy. This type of torpedo in the fleet became known only in December 1953 after the approval of the tactical and technical data of the draft design 627.

This is fascinating stuff, and well presented. One thing puzzles me, though. You don't explain why the need to modify an aircraft to carry Tsar Bomba causes the weapon to be unusable in war. After all, the allies in WWII modified Lancasters to carry Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs, and the Upkeep mine; and modified B-29s to carry Little Boy and Fat Man. So why could the same principle not be applied to the Tsar Bomba?

Because it was a 3 stage bomb that used a pair of two stage hydrogen bombs to ignite the third stage. Plus it didn't have a U238 tamper which would've undergone fast fission and doubled the total yield.

The radioactive fallout was so small because nuke bombs are not powered by uranium or plutonium. Just an large amount of high explosives. Sakarov knew this. But showing you can build a big bomb from conventional explosives was helpful to stop the expensive and useless above ground testing.

The bombers that dropped the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs also had to take precautions to ensure that they wouldn’t be destroyed as well. When they dropped their bombs, the pilots did a wingover and flew back the way they came while the bombs continued with their forward momentum. This ensured maximum separation from the aircraft so the aircraft wouldn’t be destroyed.

Did you know that the ur-500 the largest of soviet icbms, also known as proton rocket, last time heard about for lifting the nauka module to the space station was designed to put 30+ tons to the ballistic trajectory onto the us? Just some food for thought.
@masoodjalal1152
@masoodjalal1152 Ай бұрын
Well, Proton was indeed an ICBM, but most of the rockets in the world were actually ICBMs, which were aimed up, not down. The Titan Rockets in the US were ICBMs too. Even countries like Pakistan used traditional missiles to put payload into space. If you look at the trajectory that ICBMs follow, you can see they do indeed enter space and then fall down.

And to think, Andrei Sakharov, the father of the Tsar Bomba already had the hydrogen bomb design by the time the Hiroshima Bomb was dropped, meaning, if America attacked Russia that time, Washington would have been flattened. The shooting down of the U2 spy plane was the most advanced anti aircraft technology in the world and the first smart bomb. It's no surprise that to Europeans, peace is equated with violence and destruction.

5:45 Actually, that's not true. The pilots were just asked if they want to continue the mission even if the odds were 50/50, and they said yes. At no point did the scientists and the people in charge ever consider sending pilots into a one-way nuclear test. This is commonly parroted anti-soviet propaganda.
