Chay Bowes on X: This archive film shows the testing of the most powerful bomb ever built, and detonated, in human history. Known as the “Tsar Bomba,” it was tested on the 30th Oct, 1961, at the Sukhoi Nose nuclear test site on the island of Novaya Zemlya Russia The power of the explosion exceeded 58 megatons, and the height of the explosion exceeded 67 km. The flash was visible at a distance of more than 1000 km; in the village of Dikson, 780 km from the epicenter of the explosion, glass in the windows of houses was broken, and the blast wave circled the globe three times. Today, Russia possesses the largest and most advanced Nuclear arsenal on planet Earth, It also possesses the most advanced delivery systems in existence. The idea that Western politicians would consider, even the remote possibility of pushing for escalation against Russia that could, however unlikely end in the use of these weapons, is absolutely terrifying.
