British nuclear tests at Maralinga One Tree Shot 1956
Фильм және анимация
Operation Buffalo consisted of four tests; One Tree (12.9 kilotons of TNT (54 TJ)) and Breakaway (10.8 kilotons of TNT (45 TJ)) were detonated on towers, Marcoo (1.4 kilotons of TNT (5.9 TJ)) at ground level, and the Kite (2.9 kilotons of TNT (12 TJ)) was released by a Royal Air Force (RAF) Vickers Valiant bomber from a height of 11,000 metres (35,000 ft). This was the first drop of a British nuclear weapon from an aircraft. Operation Antler in 1957 tested new, light-weight nuclear weapons. Three tests were conducted in this series: Tadje (0.93 kilotons of TNT (3.9 TJ)), Biak (5.67 kilotons of TNT (23.7 TJ)) and Taranak (26.6 kilotons of TNT (111 TJ)). The first two were conducted from towers, while the last was suspended from balloons. Tadje used cobalt pellets as a tracer for determining yield, resulting in rumours that Britain was developing a cobalt bomb.

That's a shot we've seen less of, thanks for the posting ATC!

It kinda looks like the Trinity test and RDS-1

Same tower height and relatively same yield. The scaling factors were about the same for all three of these tests. Which would explain the explosions similar physical appearances.

Looks like trinity test and you are right
I like how You Tube blocks like 45% of this video with recommendations for other videos.
Beautiful footage as always. Just curious as to how much you paid for this film?
My father was working there during the tests...he lived into his 80s, but I have prostate cancer.
Looks more like 15kt or 20

It was 15.9 kilotons
It is One Tree Shot.
1.5KT ? Im giving up judging yields if I have no size comparison or landscape footage for size approximation.

@@FISSIONINITIATEDSUNRISE typo on his part. This was shot Buffalo R1/One Tree. Edit: Even I was wrong, it’s actually 16 kilotons.

@playboyrepublic9371 Yes, indeed, I thought that my judgment had gone completely out of the window. My aproximation by the footage was around but under 20kts.
That’s One Tree shot (Round 1), not Marcoo.
What are all those lines?

Rockets before explosion to see blast radius
Deadly for the local Aboriginal people which were affected not to mention the Australian and British servicemen

Not a very big detonation
ALgorithm.
Shoulda tested it in England. Leave the Aussies alone.

This was many hundreds of kilometers from any major population centre. Your proposal is asinine

Studying these bombs, compared to the movies. They seem pretty weak, I think I could survive the explosion but not the shockwave

this one looked weak as piss. the blast barely disturbed the smoke lines and then there was just a tiny puff of smoke afterwards. not even as powerful as the beruit blast. not a nuke, just regular explosives. honestly, the more i watch these videos, the less i believe in nuclear weapons.
