In Spain, recognized the Soviet atomic "Tsar bomb" useless

The Soviet atomic Tsar Bomb, tested on Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic on 30 on October 1961, proved unsuitable for a real war. This statement was made by the author of an article published in the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

According to the journalist, the Soviet atomic Tsar Bomb was nothing more than a “Soviet bluff” designed to intimidate capitalist countries and demonstrate advanced Soviet technologies to them. The leadership of the Soviet Union knew this and tried to hide it. In fact, this atomic bomb could not be delivered over long distances, the author claims, and most of its energy in the explosion went into space in the form of radiation. The 27-ton thermonuclear Tsar Bomb was 8 meters long, and the Tu-95 heavy strategic bomber was even converted for its transportation.

The USSR and America spent exorbitant budgetary funds to create equipment unsuitable for real military operations

- says the Spanish journalist.

AN602 (aka Tsar Bomb) - thermonuclear aviation a bomb developed in the USSR in 1956-1961 by a group of nuclear physicists led by academician Igor Kurchatov.

The test took place on October 30 1961 of the year by dumping Tu-95В from the Sukhoi Nos nuclear test site on Novaya Zemlya. The explosion power was 58,6 megatons of TNT, and there was also a variant of the bomb with 101,5 megatons of power.

To date, the Tsar Bomb is considered the most powerful manufactured explosive device in all history of humanity. It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most powerful thermonuclear device that has passed real tests.

Myth. The mistake is that the radius of damage grows like the cubic root of the power. Both the shock wave and the light radiation. And the area is proportional to the square of the radius. That is, 50 bombs of 1 mgt each will cover a much larger area than one "tsar bomb" of 50 mgt. It really isn't needed. Just as an interesting experience.

On October 30, 1961, AN602 was delivered from the Oleny airfield at the Novaya Zemlya training ground.
The flight of the bomber took 2 hours, the projectile was dropped from a height of 10 m.
The blast took place at 11:33 Moscow time after being dropped from a height of 4 m above the target. The flight time of the bomb was 000 seconds. The plane delivering the bomb flew 188 km from the drop zone during this time, and the laboratory plane (Tu-39A), which accompanied the carrier, 95 km.
The shock wave caught up with the car at a distance of 115 km from the target: the vibration was significant, about 800 meters of altitude was lost, but this did not affect the further flight. Reflective paint burned out in some places, and parts of the aircraft were damaged (some even melted).
The total power of the King of the Bomb explosion (58,6 megatons) exceeded what was planned (51,5 megatons).

Firstly, it was not an experimental device, but a full-fledged bomb in the flesh with a carrier and real bombing. Secondly, it broke the Americans psychologically, they realized their hopeless lag in the nuclear arms race, stopped trying to increase power and in 1963 the Treaty on the Prohibition of Testing Nuclear Weapons in the Atmosphere, Outer Space and Underwater was signed in Moscow. When the Americans lose, they sit down for negotiations and bargain for parity. So it was, and when they blew in ballistic missiles, they couldn’t make mobile, rail and heavyweight went lousy. And they sat down at the negotiating table. Thirdly, the Tsar bomb went parallel with the Tsar torpedo and the latter became a reality now, and it gave us just a resounding victory in the Nuclear Arms Race (the whole race, starting with Trinity). And everyone, the United States, the EU and China are defenseless before Poseidon. That's why he and the God of the sea. Fourth, the principles of calculating and constructing thermonuclear charges of a multistage type were verified and, moreover, the calculated power was exceeded.

But a product with a carrier cannot be called a bluff. Yes, the media was redone, so we have the right. They converted the Mig-31 into a dagger and that ... The most important thing is to deliver such a product both in a torpedo version and as a dumping container from a civilian ship, even then it was a reality. And by the way, the Proton rocket can drop almost 24 tons into a low orbit, and a hundred-ton charge weighing 27 tons would have conveyed to America. By the way, the bomb weighed 26 and a half tons, of which the parachute weighed almost a ton. But the warhead does not need it and the real weight would be 25 and a half tons. Actually, what is written about the Proton in the Wiki, where exactly in the first sentence it is indicated in the History of Creation. The military is above all. Those. The proton was originally the carrier of the Tsar Warhead. Ours then not everyone knows about this, what to say about gishpan

Firstly, it was not an experimental device, but a full-fledged bomb in the flesh with a carrier and real bombing.

Not far from the city, at the Olenya airbase, the “Tsar bomb” was waiting for a specially modified Tu-95 for it. The weapon did not fit on the plane, so I had to cut out part of the fuselage. In order to drive the "Kuzkin mother" under the bomb bay, a pit was dug under it. The bomb still couldn’t completely hide in the bowels of the ship and peered out two-thirds.
Great danger threatened the crew. The probability that as a result of the tests he will remain completely unharmed was only 1%. To increase the pilots' chances of survival, the plane was painted with white reflective paint, which was supposed to prevent the Tu-95B from igniting (this is the name, the first and only, received the aircraft adapted for the transport of "Ivan"). A parachute with an area of ​​half a football field was placed in the rear of the bomb. His mission was to slow down the fall of the projectile in order to give the crew as much time as possible to leave the affected area.
This, of course, was not enough in order not to feel the anger of the “king-bomb” at all. A second after the explosion, the man-made sun blossomed above the earth - the flash could be seen with simple binoculars even from Mars, and on Earth it was observed at a distance of 1000 km. After a few seconds, the diameter of the dust pillar of the nuclear mushroom grew to 10 km, and its top reached the mesosphere, rushing up 67 km.
According to the pilots, at first it became unbearably hot in the cockpit. Then the plane overtook the first shock wave, propagating at a speed of more than 1000 km / h. The ship, as if from a blow with a huge club, was thrown at half a kilometer. For almost an hour, radio communications disappeared throughout the Arctic. Fortunately, no one was injured from the explosion - the pilots survived.
Rehearsal of the end of the world was a success. The Tsar Bomb was never adopted: in order to use it in combat conditions, they did not come up with a suitable invulnerable carrier - you won’t install such a huge thing on a rocket, and the plane will be shot down long before it reaches the target.

From the memoirs of Reshetnikov:

When Durnovtsev, after dumping this fool, managed to move away from the landfill (shaking at full throttle while she was descending under a parachute system) to a distance of about one hundred kilometers, in a clear blue Arctic sky his ship was caught up by eight visibly visible, condensed to blue air waves. Under their powerful, shocking blows, the struts of the side lights were torn down, some hatches were crushed and the skin was deformed in some places. But the aircraft structure survived, and Durnovtsev safely returned to his airfield.
Naturally, this “piece product” could not become serial, but how could one not play with strength, deny oneself the pleasure of feeling confusion in the camp of a potential enemy!
Seeing Khrushchev’s enthusiasm, some leaders began to impose detonation and hundred-megaton racing on him, but nuclear scientists managed to dissuade him from this crazy undertaking, and he backed down.

Firstly, who prevented a dozen Tu-95s from being remade, like the MiG-31 under the Dagger.
Secondly, the Proton was created for this charge initially, and its cosmic abilities are only a conversion. He is able to cast this charge in the USA.
Thirdly, the Tsar bomb exploded in half of the calculated charge and exceeded the calculation by 7-8 megatons. Who interfered with making not the calculated stoton charge, but the reduced half calculated. The bomb would become half (relatively) smaller and lighter.
It was this bomb that was created at the limit of the capabilities of delivery vehicles, i.e. the heaviest bomber, the most load-bearing missile (then), the most long-range torpedo of Trutnev. And I repeat, it was the bomb in the flesh, the carrier was in the flesh, but the only thing was that they were blown up to explode at rated power. And the blow was in the form of a knockout against the enemy. The round of the arms race, where the bombing was the basis, ended in our crushing victory. The next round is completed by our complete excellence in ICBMs. And the last point put Poseidon. And by the way, our Crimea because of Poseidon, our Syria because of Poseidon. 40 African kings and Erdogan bowed to Poseidon. Xi was elected king because of Poseidon. The EU is falling apart with Britain's brexet over Poseidon. Many do not understand this. And Poseidon is the brother of the Tsar-bomb .... the youngest.

[Operator]

The Russian three-stage thermonuclear charge with tritium amplification, used as a special warhead of the NPA Poseidon, with a capacity of 100 Mtn, weighing 10 tons and dimensions of 1,5x5 m, is made in a modern form factor with a reflective uranium shell in the form of a peanut-nut shell.

The mass-dimensional characteristics of a 100-Mtn charge allow it to be installed in the form of a multiblock on the Sarmat ICBM, and also to manufacture aviation bombs on its basis, which fit into the standard bomb compartments of the Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers.

Let's just say that the Americans are negotiating when they consider it profitable for themselves. For example, they agreed to the OSV-1 agreement only after the deployment of missiles with homing missiles began in the USSR. Before that, there were no creeps and they quietly increased the number of their warheads with the help of the RGCh
They did not blow off ballistic missiles, if it is not a specific missile, but the prevailing parity. Moreover, you were far behind them in the creation and deployment of solid rockets. Yes, single products in the USSR had several times more casting weight than American ones, and the power of warheads. But power was a forced decision to compensate for less accuracy compared to American
They made a mobile complex (railway) on the basis of MX. There were also options for a vehicle-based MX, but the "issue price", that is, the deployment price turned out to be very high. This we could pump in billions, creating hundreds of field positions for the BZHRK, replacing rails on the routes, deploying divisions. They considered that the costs would not give a leap forward in overcoming parity with the USSR. They just acted like pragmatists. Moreover, they made every effort to influence the leadership of the USSR / Russia to joke this weapon system.

Proton was not originally designed as a combat missile at all. The UR-500 Ural missile was proposed as an ICBM. Only 4 ICBMs were tested on which the Proton research satellites were used as payloads, which later gave the name to the launch vehicle. In 1964, Khrushchev at Baikonur was presented with a rocket model, based on the launch pad and in the mine. Khrushchev's decision was the construction of two such silos at Baikonur. However, the change in the country's leadership is a cross on the ICBM project. And in 1965, work on ICBMs stopped altogether. And the most important thing. According to TTT, this ICBM (UR-500 "Ural") was supposed to carry a warhead with a power TEN MEGATONS... The 100-150 megaton charge was supposed to be carried by the 11A52 "Nakat" ICBM based on the N-1 rocket.

And superiority is determined not only by one cast weight. There are a lot of factors. In particular, the readiness for launch, precision. We relied on heavy rockets with LRE, they are on light solid propellant. As a result of lagging in solid fuel rockets, we received rockets 20 tons heavier than similar American ones.

That's right, but 100 megatons just did not fit into this even improved strategist .. I had to reduce the bomb to 50 ..

The ballistic corps was one and the same. So in terms of size, none of the bombs (at least 50 mt, at least 100 mt) did not fit completely into the bomb bay

"Tsar Bomba" was nothing more than a "Soviet bluff" designed to intimidate capitalist countries

All are strong in hindsight. The bomb intimidated the "capitalist countries", which means that it was effective even without use. And thank God that even without application.

Well, if the military feared the occurrence of an uncontrollable thermonuclear reaction when testing a bomb ... What prevents the creation of a 500-megaton bomb and detonating it right in Moscow when an attack is detected, crushing "the whole world into dust" ??? And no delivery means needed!

The American three-stage thermonuclear bomb B41 of the 1962 model of the year had a capacity of 25 tons with a weight of 4,8 tons and was released in a series of 500 units.

150 kg of plutonium initiating charge changed to 150 kg of lead

The thermonuclear charge of the Tsar bomb with a maximum design capacity of 100 Mtn included three stages:
- the fission stage of plutonium-239 and a tritium amplifier weighing about 10 kg;
- synthesis step from lithium deuteride-6;
- fission stage from uranium-238.

In the tested version of the Tsar bomb, with the actual power of 58 Mtn, the third stage of division (it is also the external X-ray reflecting shell) was replaced by a lead one to eliminate radioactive contamination of the surface of the land, sea and floating ice in the form of an ellipse 700 km long and 300 km wide in wind direction .

If you shy away one such bomb in the middle of the Iberian Peninsula at full capacity, then there would be no Spain, and those who survived would envy the dead and swear at scribblers from the yellow newspaper, who had come up with a tale in their inflamed brain about the inefficiency of the Soviet atomic bomb))

When a hydrogen bomb explodes, no radiation contamination occurs due to the design of the bomb

[Operator]

Only if it is "hydrogen" - it is thermonuclear consists of two stages (like the exploded version of the Tsar-bomb), and not of three (as planned).

There can be no talk of any benefit to the Spaniards from this bomb, they will be smashed to smithereens with Portugal, and France will also get

[pafegosoff]

Gishpants, - the great masters of making nuclear bombs every siesta - adamant authorities. There’s a plug in any barrel ... Especially it gets to their closest neighbors - the Portuguese.

So, by and large, the satellite launched in 1957 was not useful. He flew for 3 months at an altitude of 939 km from the Earth’s surface and bibal ... What is the use? It would be better just to steal money, right?

their jamon, does not affect my body at all, although the thing is tasty, but only for VODOVKU !!!!

[dmitrich]

they know better!

[Sasha from Uralmash]

Well, when the little one ... then it remains only to spit!

[NF68]

If this bomb fucked Spain, then the opinion about the futility of this bomb would instantly change.

[Siberian_54]

Lord! Do not argue with the husk. Not with a local, not with a foreign one. The smaller the louse, the louder the peeps.

[Xroft12]

The USSR and America spent exorbitant budgetary funds to create equipment unsuitable for real military operations

But at the same time, they gained invaluable experience, which made it possible to develop more serious and compact nuclear weapons
