Tsar Bomba Declassified Documentary Upscaled 4K60 [Read Description] [Turn on CC]
Captions Available in English.
I saw that the original video was released at 480p and 25 fps and that just couldn't do it justice, so I upscaled the video to 4k and used optical flow to make the framerate a smooth 60fps. I hope you enjoy.
Watch and draw your own conclusions. Since this was created during the Soviet Union, it is probably propaganda to show its might but the footage of the explosion is real.

Not only is the option with many bombs easier to transport, but it can realistically do a lot more infrastructure damage over a larger area.

I have in my collection, a scientific paper describing a bumblebee species, Bombus glacialis, that is endemic to Novaya Zemlya. That bee is still very much alive as of December 2017, when the paper was published. Bombus glacialis therefore has the distinction of being the bee that survived having the Tsar Bomba dropped on it.

The real problem is not the clarity of the initial explosion, even if it was 97% clean fusion. The real problem is the aftermath, because the fusion itself - even if it was a clean energy output - generated ultra high energy neutron flux, which activated the sorrunding stable material of the environment to isotopes. That's why there is no so called "clean" nuclear weapon, even if the fusion portion is so high. That was the biggest surprise of the neutron bomb as well. The good old 70's biggest and most promising achievment was the "perfect" nuclear weapon, the neutron bomb. The ultimate tool of the manageable nuclear war. Just a scaled down ultra clean fusion weapon with a very low yield. Low yield - low blast - low physical destruction, but extreme high energy neutron flux -> only the living organism going to be destroyed. Yeah!... And they realized that the whole environment is going to be isotopes. Nice...
In its Cold War Soviet confidence, real or imagined, this feels like time travel with only a little shock of recognition. Mostly, Dr. Strangelove.

A team of physicists led by Yuli Khariton designed Tsar Bomba. The team also included Andrei Sakharov, Viktor Adamsky, Yuri Babayev, Yuri Smirnov, and Yuri Trutnev. The Tsar Bomba was a three-stage hydrogen bomb with a Trutnev-Babaev second and third stage design.

Not really. The distance is almost a thousand kilometers. The Olenya base is set deep inland, and is screened from the coastline by 150 kilometers of hills and plateaus which would contain and disperse any wind blast. Also, if the impact was as bad as you suggested it would fall much harder on the coast, including that of Norway... but the Norwegians did not notice it.

They could have had more than 100 Mt, but left out the additional uranium tampers that would have boosted the explosion, on account of the extreme fallout that would have resulted.

The janitor that cleaned up the weapon facility over heard where they were going to detonate the device. The Generals were talking that no one lived up there. Janitor was like, "yea, people live there, I live there." Govt was like, oh yea well Kossaks live there, but no people live there. Tsar laughs and Tsar Bomba, bombas!
The external ring of the Tsar bomb is "scalable" limitless (the design team had already teorized a nuclear bomb with an extra ring to make 2000 Megaton, white tactical bombs are 200 kiloton)
Well done piece, but I think that if we could have a listen to the conversation following the test, we might hear "A spectacular test comrade, but perhaps this a bit unwieldy. What do you have that will fit in a Suitcase???"

It's a shame Rosatom released the film scan in 480p. They clearly had a very high quality scan and conducted top notch processing. It was unfortunately limited to a 480p resolution, which was then worsened by KZread compression. To make matters worse, they set the video as private at least twice, and that's how it is nowadays, so all we have now are reuploads, which always come with even more compression. I wish we had a true 1080p scan, though I don't mind it being 25 fps. That's just the original standard for television in the SECAM system, which is present in Russia, and is the framerate at which the film was actually shot at.
