Tsar Bomba is the nickname for the AN602 hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It was also referred to as Kuz'kina Mat' (Russian: %u041A%u0443%u0437%u044C%u043A%u0438%u043D%u0430 %u043C%u0430%u0442%u044C, Kuzka's mother), potentially referring to Nikita Khruschev's promise to show the U.S. a "Kuz'kina Mat'" at the 1960 UN General Assembly. The famous Russian idiom, which has been problematic for translators, equates roughly with the English “We’ll show you!” in this usage meaning "something that has not been seen before". Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT (420 PJ), but the yield was reduced to 50 megatons in order to reduce nuclear fallout (and also to prevent the blast from destroying the drop aircraft). This attempt was successful, as it was one of the cleanest (relative to its yield) nuclear bombs ever detonated. Only one bomb of this type was ever built and it was tested on October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.

      What scares me now, is there is a device even more powerful known as the Romney explosive that bombs every time he goes on stage and pours lies from his radioactive propaganda puppet mouth

      Do you happen to know which country/ies dropped the Trinity, Mike and Bravo bomb?
      • ConnieLynne | 12 months ago | +1
        Trinity was the US test that has the 1950's documentaries.

      Droping one of these bad boys will not do the trick. Drop 2 of them. Just in case the first one don't take her out completly of the face of the fducking planet.

          I was. And what I mean was to drop them on octomom. Just to clean the planet a bit.

      I'd rather him get butt fucked everyday for the next 342 years... Seems like a better punishment to me. A nuke is an easy way out.

    I hope there wasnt a giant mutant dinosaur encased in a block of ice under that.

      Luckily the Russians suck at aeronautics, they could never get a bomber this far.
