In 1961 The Soviet Union exploded the most powerful nuclear weapon ever. Its code name was “Tsar” (RDS 220) and the power of that weapon was 50-60 megaton. The explosion happened at Novaja-Zemlja and the power of that detonation was the size of all explosives what was used in the Second World war multiplied by ten. The unit was massive FFF-(Fission Fusion-Fission) bomb, what structure was like the onion, with layers of lithium and natural uranium. Nowadays the scientists think that the reason to build and detonate this monstrous weapon was that the Soviet Air Force didn’t expect that their bombers and missiles were getting close enough to their targets, and that’s why they build the most powerful nuclear detonator ever built. In that time nuclear weapons were more powerful than today because the guidance systems of missiles and bombers were not enough advanced.
That was the reason, why those weapons needed to be very powerful. Also, detonation systems were not allowed to synchronize the group explosions, where multiple warheads could detonate at the precisely same time. The 50 megaton nuclear explosive would seem like dramatic, but the problem of those very powerful weapons is, that they would destroy all Europe by the single shot. In this scenario, both side troops would also be destroyed, if that kind of monstrous weapon would be detonated. The problems with building the nuclear weapons are that their destructive area must be known very good, that they would have any tactical use.
Then we are talking about the weapons, what have the size of “Tsar-bomb” there is very small change, that there would create the black hole in the atmosphere. In this scenario in the bomb would leave the symmetrical dust bite, and then the explosives would press enough energy to the small bite, that it would turn to singularity or black hole. “Tsar-bomb” is the base of “Status-6” nuclear torpedo. This weapon would create the huge tsunami if it would be detonated at sea, and both beaches would cause very much damages. If the Tsar-bomb would detonate at Helsinki, the Saint Petersburg would destroy at the same time. But when we are talking about the development of nuclear weapons, there is one thing what the developer must know. It is the purpose of developing that weapon.
There are two types of nuclear warheads. Another is very powerful strategic weapons, what mission is to give threat to other nations. The other type of weapons is smaller tactical devices, what are meant to destroy enemy troops. In that mission, the user of the nuclear weapon must know the destruction radius exactly. If this radius is not well known, the nuclear weapon would cause the destruction of both sides of the troops. Radioactive fallout makes the area dangerous for people, and the massive cleaning operations must be done. The super powerful weapons are so-called mutual associated nukes. Their mission would be last change. if the war has begun.
