Tsar Bomba



Tsar Bomb is the nickname for the AN602 hydrogen bomb is the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated, and currently the most powerful explosive ever detonated in human history.

Designed by Soviet Union,the Tsar Bomba was a three-stage hydrogen bomb with a yield of 50 megatons. This is equivalent to 10 times the explosives used in World War II combined, including Little Boy and Fat Man, the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A three-stage H-bomb uses a fission bomb primary to compress a thermonuclear secondary, as in most H-bombs, and then uses energy from the resulting explosion to compress a much larger additional thermonuclear stage.
