How the Soviet Union experienced the "weapon of the apocalypse"
A nuclear mushroom rises above the surface for 70 km. Seismographs in different countries of the world record powerful vibrations, while the shock wave from the explosion three times passes around the circumference of the planet. The world called the glow appeared "nuclear (or artificial) Sun."
Then, in October 1961, scientists, because the fireball had been hanging in the air longer than the estimated time, seriously feared that an irreversible nuclear chain reaction had begun. But in the end, the shock wave along with the glow began to disappear, and the tests were considered successful. It was that same “Kuzkina mother” - a powerful bomb in stories civilization.
The explosion carried out on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, to this day is the record in its power ever carried out by man.
In TNT equivalent, it corresponded to 58 megatons. The bomb itself was delivered by a Tu-95 bomber.
The explosion of the "puff" gave a tremendous effect. The Western world has decided that the leadership of the Soviet Union is ready, after testing, to move on to the direct application of "weapons apocalypse. " The Caribbean crisis was approaching when the world literally stood on the brink of a nuclear war that could end the history of mankind.
