If you are asked which is the most powerful bomb in the world? Then your answer will be the atomic bomb. But there is a bomb which is many times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. If it is dropped somewhere, many cities will be destroyed at once. Leave alone humans, nothing will survive for miles. It is said that it had 10 times more power than the most powerful bombs. But where is it, who made it?
According to BBC report, this bomb was made by the Soviet Union 60 years ago. On the morning of 30 October 1961, a TU-95 bomber plane took off from Olenya Airport on the Kola Peninsula in northern Russia. This bomb was 26 feet long. Its diameter was about 7 feet and it weighed more than 27 tons. It looked similar to the ‘Little Boy’ and ‘Fat Man’ bombs. ‘Little Boy’ and ‘Fat Man’ were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, due to which the entire city was destroyed.
known as the monster bomb
Considering the power and size of the bomb, it was given numerous names. Some called it Project 27000, while some called it Product Code 202. It was also called RDS-220 and Kuzinka Mat. Now it is known as Tsar’s bomb. Considering its power, it was even called the monster bomb. It was so huge that it could not fit even inside the largest aircraft. That is why it was carried by tying it under the aircraft.
