Tsar Bomb - Biggest H-Bomb Ever Tested

It's only 50 megatons. I thought they'd built a 200 megaton bomb?

What they DON'T tell you in these films is that hydrogen bombs weigh approximately one tonne per megaton blast yield. Which means a tsar bomb weighs as much as two large diesel locomotives. NOT practical to fly THAT over American skies without it getting shot down.

NO! The actual H-bombs that WILL drop on our cities are pitifully weak... less than 1 megaton each. Which means we'll all lay around for HOURS if not DAYS dying of radiation sickness and burns (or possibly burning to death - slowly - in the wreckage before death finally DOES take us...)

NO! The actual H-bombs that WILL drop on our cities are pitifully weak... less than 1 megaton each. Sometimes barely 100 kilotons or 5 Nagasakis. Which means we'll all lay around for HOURS if not DAYS dying of radiation sickness and burns (or possibly burning to death - slowly - in the wreckage before death finally DOES take us...) NASTY!
