"Tsar Bomba"-The biggest nuke ever

"Tsar Bomba"-The biggest nuke ever

YouTube - Tsar bomba


Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба), literally "Tsar-bomb," is the nickname for the RDS-202 hydrogen bomb (codenamed "Ivan" by its developers)—the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.

Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT; however, the bomb was reduced by half in order to limit the amount of nuclear fallout that would result. One bomb was built and tested on October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.[1] The weapon never entered service.

A bomb of this magnitude has tremendous "blow back" potential to its user, while at the same time being inefficient in radiating much of its energy out into space.

Should India develop a RAJ bomb , like the Soviet's Tsar bomb ?

Should India develop a RAJ bomb , like the Soviet's Tsar bomb ? We are aware htat the 50 Meg tsar bomb was never comissioned into service and that it was delivered by aircraft . The didnt figure out a missile delivery system for it.

Consider the possibility if india developed a less potent say 35 Meg device and being smaller , they might with today's technology and enhanced ability figure out a missile capable of delivering that device .

Wouldnt that achievement itself act as a deterrent to say china ? even if the numbers produces were small, i think it would prove to some extent that india has " arrived" at some important juncture and speak millions to china , besides the actual possiblity of usage in really dire circumstances, if it came to that and so - a deterrent !?

No it should not. Tsar Bomba was cancelled due to the massive fallout that killed 900 people in Siberia. Smaller nukes are not nearly as bad for the rest of planet and are more effective at wiping out cities with MRV warheads.

It doesn't serve any purpose except for people to say India is being irresponsible. 200-400kt MRV nukes targetted at specific points of a city are far more efficient at wiping it out than a 30-50mt bomb and doesn't pollute the planet nearly as much.

yeah u r correct vladmir, the citie like Islambad or karachi are so near to Indian borders,that would definitely show effect on our side, we need less radiation and more effective bombs.

Considering China has 4 Meg device, india cannot be satisfied with 200k - 400K devices - psychologicaly less deterrent value as well : AS for irresposibility what about those nations which have so much stockpiles as to be able to destroy the whole planed 30 times and a bit more ?
So india need to develop a lot more in this area even to the extent of sacrificing some of the other conventional weapions develpment .
Ok if not 35 Meg ( which was just a manner of speaking ) then at least to be on par with our northeastern neighbour so say 6 or 8 Meg should be fine and easily deliverable by missile .
As for it being too large to be used against pakistan . hey man OF COURSE - no one who considers themselves sane would be doing that ? even the much smaller nukes suchas 20 K's are inadvisable , especially know that india can handle pak simply by conventional means

Vlad.....Do you know what was the environmental impact on the Novaya Zemlya peninsula as a result of these test. Did it wipe out all the wild-life there ??

Are there any good articles in English about this ??

Why do we need bombs with high yield when we have such sophisticated delivery system which have CEP of 10 m only?

 

[Yusuf]

[mod]Seriously don't require this thread as all the arguments on yield have been going on in other threads. Thread closed.[/mod]

Test of Universal Missile

YouTube - BrahMos test

may be this can be called as Brahmos History.
when and where tested full details are given in this video.
but in Russian Language.

 

[LETHALFORCE]

i already posted this with other brahmos videos

 

[bhramos]

but i never found it any where so i posted.
but nice info about all tests of Brahmos.

The Astra, built by the Defence R&D Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad, will allow IAF pilots to hit enemy aircraft up to 44 km away, at altitudes up to 20,000 metres. Improving on that will be the Astra Mk II, with a longer range of 80 km

The Astra’s seeker is still imported from Russia, but the DRDO hopes to develop one
A drawback in the Astra remains its high weight; even a heavy fighter like the Sukhoi-30MKI cannot carry the missile on its wingtip stations. In comparison with the Astra’s estimated 150 kg, other BVR missiles like the Israeli Derby weigh around 100 kg only
