The Russians made this 50 megaton bomb in 16 weeks in 1961 , its doubtful they have gone backwards in technology .
Concerns about fallout prompted Russian scientists to use lead tampers that dialed down the yield to half of the bomb’s capabilities. Interestingly enough, Tsar Bomba was one of the “cleanest” nuclear weapons ever detonated, because the bomb’s design eliminated 97 percent of the possible fallout.
During the cold war some scientists came up with the idea of a real doomsday bomb which would cause an explosion large enough to destroy all life on earth if not the earth itself. It was to be a final middle finger to the rest of the world if Russia ever lost a war.
Probably just a PR moment a la Putin.
It is this kind of thinking that shows we humans simply do not deserve to inhabit this planet or any other we are just to screwed in the head and stupid
