World’s Largest Nuclear Explosion
The Tsar Bomb was the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed or detonated. It was detonated at 4000 m altitude the 30th of October 1961 at Mityushikha Bay test range, Novaya Zemlya Island. It had a yield of 50 Megatons.

50 Megatons is not the biggest bomb detonated. The biggest was 100 Megatons. It was an air burst, but I am not sure if it was US or Russia.

Wow. That’s just ridiculous, humanity really rocks sometimes.

When it says 3000m detonation. Does that mean above the ground or above sea level. If that’s above ground, then jesus, almost 2 miles in the fucking air.

Brian: There has never been a 100 megaton detonation, although both Russian and the US have claimed to have developed them.

Maddzy: In “The Fog of War”, former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara admitted that they tested a 100 megaton bomb IN THE ATMOSPHERE- he even puntuated his remark with “I remember it!” as if to say “how stupid and dangerous was that!”

There actually has been. The largest yield ever detonated was in eastern Russia in what was the Soviet Union. The yield was 117 megatons. This was a hydrogen bomb, the largest ever made. They detonated this is 1974, I believe. The U.S. thought they were detonating several bombs at once, but it was actually one huge bomb. They show footage of this on the History Channel from time to time.

This is sad to watch.

THERE IS A MOVIE CALLED ( TRINITY AND BEYOND: THE ATOMIC BOMB MOVIE ). I ALSO DONT BELIEVE IT IS THE BIGGEST. IN THE MOVIE THEY DETONATE A 70 MEGATON BOMB IN SPACE, JUST OUTSIDE THE EARTHS ATMOSPHERE. YOU CAN GET THE MOVIE AT YOUR LOCAL LIABRARY, IF NOBODY STOLE IT ALREADY.

Impossible. Tsar Bomba was the largest hydrogen bomb ever tested by humans. If there had even been a larger test, then it would certainly have been mentioned in every historical books, political speeches, propaganda, etc.
There was a debate between Hrushev and the scientists, though. Hrushev wanted to test a 100-megaton hydrogen bomb, the original yield of the Tsar Bomba, but the scientists managed to convince him that the devastating effects of such an explosion would be terrifying not only for the Soviet Union, but for the entire world. Hence he agreed to decrease the yield of the Tsar Bomba to “just” 50 megatons.

Unfortunately Flamdring, I have to have this feature as there are comment spammers who clog up the comment system. Without it, the comments would be full of spam about Viagra and other garbage.
