Tsar Bomba ( literally "Emperor Bomb") is the Western name for the RDS-220, which was the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb had a yield of about 50 megatons of TNT and it was codenamed Ivan by its developers.

The bomb was tested on October 30, 1961, in Novaya Zemlya, an archipelago in the Arctic Sea. The device was scaled down from its original design of 100 megatons to reduce the resulting nuclear fallout.

Much larger than the Hirosima bomb
Hiroshima's "Little Boy" gravity bomb was about 12-15 kilotons, but the "Tsar Bomba" was about 50 Megatons (Original design was 100 Megatons). That's truly a terrifying power.

What a stupid weapon
It destroys a huge amount of area making it uninhabitable, and unusable, you need a special plane to deliver it, so those planes are made especially vunerable, you have to guard it constantly day and night againts constant terrorists threats, it cost millions to research, develop and guard, totally useless and pointless. I dont know why they bother making crap like this anymore.
