Caption: MORE WORDS AVAIL: INFO@COVERMG.COM FULL (40 mins) & EDITED VIDEOS AVAILABLE ... Saturday (30 Oct 2021) marks the 60th anniversary of the biggest nuclear bomb blast of all time. Chilling Russian footage of the biggest nuclear bomb blast of all time was only declassified in August 2020. The ‘Tsar Bomba’, tested on 30 October 1961 over a remote Arctic island, exploded with the force of an estimated 50 million tons of TNT. Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation, the Russian state corporation headquartered in Moscow that specialises in nuclear energy, released the video on August 20 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Russia’s nuclear industry. They state: “For a long time the industry was one of the most secretive, and talking about even the most peaceful achievements of atomic science was not a common place. Most people do not realise that many technologies and solutions available to us today - from diagnostic medical equipment to security systems – have been researched and made at the nuclear enterprises.” The Soviet RDS-220 hydrogen bomb (code name Ivan or Vanya), also known as Tsar Bomba, was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested. Tested on 30 October 1961 as an experimental verification of calculation principles and multi-stage thermonuclear weapon designs, it also remains the most powerful human-made explosive ever detonated.
