October 30, 1961 -. "The Tsar Bomba" passed tests in 1961, at the test site of Novaya Zemlya, the Soviet Union tested the most powerful charge in human history. The AN602 thermonuclear bomb, known as the "Tsar Bomba" and "Mother of Cossacks", was dropped from a Tu-95V aircraft. The explosion happened at 11:33 at an altitude of about 4 kilometers, and the output was 58 megatons - about ten thousand times the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. A nuclear mushroom 67 kilometers high rose above the test site, the shock wave circled the earth three times, and windows in houses were broken in Norway and Finland. A group of physicists led by Igor Kurchatov, which included Andrei Sakharov, Viktor Adamsky and Yuri Tertnev, worked on the creation of the bomb. The initial design output was 100 megatons, but the uranium cladding of the third stage was replaced with lead to reduce radioactive contamination. We are at MAX | in VK | in OK.
