About this set

The Tsar Bomba, also known as the "Tsarina Bomb," was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. It was developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War and tested on October 30, 1961. The bomb had a yield of about 50 megatons of TNT, making it approximately 3,800 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion created a massive fireball and a mushroom cloud that reached about 60 kilometers high. The Tsar Bomba was designed primarily as a demonstration of Soviet nuclear capability rather than for practical military use.
