Heya user.......

First off, Tsar Bomba had a maximum yield of 100 megatons, not 1000.

Second, Little Boy had a yield of 15 kilotons, or just (just probably is not the right word) .015 Mt and nearly completely destroyed an entire city.

The entire bulk of explosives used during WWII and WWI, including mines, artillery, grenades, bombs, ammunition, training, torpedoes, depth charges, breaching charges, rockets, Naval Artillery, and even the Manhattan Project, Little Boy and Fat Man, wasn't even 3 Mt

Tsar Bomba was tested at half its yield, 50 Mt. Still the largest detonation ever (3,333.33 Hiroshima sized bombs)..The seismic shock (and keep in mind it was an atmospheric detonation) was around a 5.25 earthquake and was still measurable on its third pass over the entire planet. Its mushroom cloud reached 40 miles high, with its peak width at 59 miles wide. Villages with buildings made of wood and brick were destroyed more than 50 miles away. The heat was so intense it could cause third degree burns at more than 60 miles. The shock wave broke large amounts of windows at almost 600 miles, and was felt in Finland and Norway.

Where Tsar Bomba to be detonated in NYC, it would be gone. just that simple. New York County, significant portions of the state, plus CT and NJ would be destroyed at full power. It would be conceivable to place it so that NY and Boston could be severely damaged, if not partially or even completely destroyed, with just one bomb. Major earthquakes nation and possible even world wide, tsunamis going in every direction. That is only the initial devastation. Not counting the subsequent nuclear war (Even if it was a Non- State Actor), EMP pulse, air traffic, starvation, fires, total economic collapse to make the 1930s like like a boom, and more that I cannot possible imagine.

A 1000 Mt weapon would most likely be a doomsday weapon.

HOPE IT HELPS ✌ ✌ ✌


tarushhh: what about the fallout

Explanation:

♥ The world’s largest nuclear device ever to be set off, the 50 megaton Soviet “Tsar Bomba” – detonated in a remote arctic test site in 1961, creating the most powerful man-made explosion in history – would kill an estimated 5.8 million people if it were dropped on London, according to Nukemap.

Thermal radiation causing third degree burns would spread as far as Reading, Southend and Haywards Heath.

♥ hope that people will come to understand what a nuclear weapon would do to places they are familiar with, and how the different sizes of nuclear weapons change the results,”
