I still love the fact that the Russians built this monster, then realized the bomber they'd be sending to drop the thing had no chance whatsoever of escaping or surviving the blast and so they modified it to cut the projected yield in half. Even then, they still only gave the crew 50/50 chances of survival. When they actually dropped the goddamn thing, the blast was so powerful that the shockwave caught up with the bomber seventy miles away and caused it to lose about 3,000 feet of altitude immediately. They made it, though.View attachment 3036817
