The hydrogen bomb exploded at the Xindi Island proving ground. The test site occupies the whole Xindi Island, covering an area of 82,600 square kilometers. Originally, the equivalent of hydrogen bomb was 65438+ 1 100 million tons of TNT, and the explosion power radius was 1000 kilometers, but there were cities and densely populated residential areas 750 kilometers away from Xindi Island. Finally, the Soviet Union decided to halve the charge to 50 million tons equivalent. The size of the hydrogen bomb is the same as the original design, with a diameter of about 2.5 meters and a length of about 12 meters. A landing system consisting of three parachutes is installed at the tail, and the main parachute area is 1600 square meters.
196110/On October 30th, Tu -95 strategic bomber dropped a hydrogen bomb at an altitude of 15000m. When the hydrogen bomb exploded at an altitude of 4500 meters, although the plane had escaped more than 200 kilometers, it was almost destroyed by the shock wave. The ice layer more than 3 meters thick in the experimental area was melted and hidden in the basement 200 kilometers away. The tank placed in the explosion area for testing was blown to pieces, and the building had already disappeared.
In fact, the explosion equivalent is 58 million tons equivalent ~ ~ which is an unprecedented big explosion. If detonated in the sea, it will cause a tsunami as high as 1 km, which will spread to the whole American continent ~
