The N1 was NEVER going to be used as a nuclear tipped missile. It would taken to long to fuel up. It sole mission was going to be a manned lunar mission. But after 4 launch attempts the N1 was canned

Have seen many reports on this weapon....most seem to agree that it was likely far larger than calculated, and it's power was a meaningful amount larger than the expected 50 mt rating...

The bomb exploded in the air not the ground. I believe there's some photography of it plane turning away from the blast.

An incredible engineering feat by the Soviet Union to prove to NATO and Western Europe the folly of a first strike 😮

Wow! What a mission. How skilled were those pilots. I was on the edge of my seat. Terrifying. And Russia are still using those planes too. ❤

The scientists did not design the Tsar bomba<br>Was not made to kill the crew 1/2 derated for 50MT<br>It was harder to reach altitude but it did a retard parachute, it was a risk, escape planned altitude for airspeed and it's just got really light 575mph in the Bear possible it was not a suicide flight, your title made it sound like it was<br>The Russians do care to get their crews back<br>I don't believe it I only selected this video to put this comment on
