Jakarta – Good nuklir Tsar Bomba is the largest nuclear weapon ever launched. Mentioned in the Britannica, the bomb, which is also known as Big Ivan, actually has a power of 100 megatons.
However, when tested on Novaya Zemlya Island in the Arctic Ocean on October 30, 1961, its strength was modified to just 500 megatons because it was considered too dangerous for the test situation. Half of this 100 megatons is estimated to be equivalent to 3,800 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb in World War II.
The Tsar Bomba, which has the official name RDS-220, produced the largest man-made explosion ever recorded on Earth.
The Impact of the Tsar Bomba
Tsar Bomba literally means King of Bombs. A group of Soviet physicists in which one of the foremost Andrey Sakharov, was the creator of the weapon. Driven by the intense Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, they created this three-stage bomb.
During testing, good nuklir Tsar Bomba exploded as far as 4 kilometers above ground level and produced a mushroom-like cloud over 60 kilometers high. The flash of the explosion was visible up to about 1,000 kilometers away.
The result of this explosion is quite extraordinary. An uninhabited village called Severny which is 55 kilometers from ground zero is flattened. Buildings 160 kilometers from the site were reportedly destroyed. The heat from the explosion is also thought to be capable of causing third-degree burns to objects 100 kilometers away.
Despite its success, the Tsar Bomba was never projected to be used. This bomb cannot be used by ballistic missiles. The weapon needs to be carried by conventional aircraft, but is easily intercepted before reaching the target location.
Therefore, it is intended as a propaganda weapon. After the explosion trial, one of the creators good nuklir Tsar BombaSakharov, is increasingly involved with efforts to limit nuclear tests underground.
The policy was also signed by the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union in 1963. Other countries also joined later.
