Mr. Eizo Nomura was a survivor of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, located just 170 meters from the hypocenter. Protected by the reinforced concrete of a building, he miraculously endured the intense heat and radiation, becoming one of the closest known survivors to the blast site.
Good video. There i a lot more later, after the initial blasts then you have the radioactive fall out carried by the winds for hundreds of miles and possibly nuclear winter for the whole planet that could last for years.
There is a channel called Corridor Crew who specialize in computer graphics, movie breakdowns and how to do your own computer graphics ect. There is a guy named Wren who uses graphics to give people a better understanding of sizes of various things (Attack on Titan cartoon, computer memory, ants,ect). He also has one on nuclear weapons. Very good video(s) as well as informative and mostly light hearted. You should definitely check them out. Also, The Fat Electrician also has a video about soldiers who stood under a nuclear bomb to prove how safe it is. (Spoiler, all those involved lived well into their 70s). Love the channel and recently discovered you guys! Thank you!
It's about missiles that carry nukes. Not nukes themselves. They carry multiple nukes. Great reaction. Sometimes it's good to do more serious content to remind ourselves of our reality.
Modern weapons tend to be smaller and "cleaner" than the Cold War ones, Russian's are 100 to 900 Kilotons Problem isn't the "size" it's the NUMBER of hits, multiples, that will target certain cities, military bases etc Prime target cities like London, Washington, LA, Moscow, will be consumed by firestorms, like Dresden but on a much larger scale :(
Scary.. sure. On the other hand, nukes have brought about the most peaceful era of human history. Pre nuclear age, wars wiping out significant portions of the human race just regularly occurred. Proportionally, fewer and fewer percentages of humans perish in war. Without nukes, Millions of soldiers on the march would likely still be the norm. The size race definitely ended. Soviets created the Tsar Bomba, 50+ megatons. Supposedly still the largest nuke ever developed/tested. The US can make something as powerful but is uninterested matching or surpassing anything near that ridiculous. Terror is not the goal, only deterrence. If the goal is deterrence, numerous smaller nukes with the promise of Mutual Destruction is more preferable than a bigger bomb that devastates a city harder.
A nuclear weapon has never been tested on a modern city. Filled with reinforced concrete buildings and modern buildings. All of that strong modern building would absorb and defeat the blast. Reducing the amount of overall damage.
This video is pretty bad in terms of being propaganda, it is definitely made extra extra scary. The biggest way you can tell that it is meant to scare more than it is meant to inform is that it does not show the effects of all the weapons on the same city...so you cannot really compare them. Instead, the video shows the US weapons hitting Chinese and Russian cities, and then showing Chinese and Russian weapons hitting US cities. The ominous music is another giveaway, as is the fact that they only talk about the maximum power of the weapons while never talking much about how the weapons systems are often deployed at "less than maximum." For instance...the B-83 nuclear bomb is a "variable yield" hydrogen bomb that can explode with as much as 1.2 megatons of force, but can also have an explosive power of as little as around 5 kilotons. Also, the Trident II missile can carry several types of warheads ranging from yields as low as 5 to 7 kilotons, to warheads that yield 100 kilotons, up to the largest being the 475 kiloton type the video talks about. The British version of the missile carries up to eight 100 kiloton warheads, and when the missile is carrying those smallest 5-7kt warheads it can carry up to 14 of them. Of course, the video is only talking about the numbers the missile CAN carry, and it does not mention that the US has been limiting the Trident II to no more than 4 warheads each, due to treaty restrictions...and for many years has been sending the missile subs out with well under their full 24 missile capacity. Tsar Bomba was never a nuclear weapon that could be used...it would not fit inside the plane that carried it, and the plane that carried it only had about a 50 percent chance of surviving the blast. It was a test bomb that was meant to give the USSR the ultimate top spot in that "male member measuring contest" you guys were talking about, and it was dropped only once in 1961. And nowadays, all nukes are "hydrogen bombs"...North Korea is the only country that has old fashioned atomic bombs that are fission only devices. It was found years ago that it was much more efficient to make even a small fission-fusion type "hydrogen bomb" than it was to make an atomic bomb of whatever size. Since you need to set off an atomic bomb to trigger a hydrogen or fusion bomb, all the US and Chinese and Russian and British nukes and so on have very small atomic bombs in them but get most of their explosive power from the fusion reaction that is triggered by the small fission bomb. All of the warheads shown in this video are hydrogen bombs...also known as fission-fusion bombs...also known as thermonuclear weapons. The US has about 5000 nukes in the stockpile as of 2024...but less than 3k of them are in the active arsenal of weapons that are deployed. Russia has about 5600 nukes total in 2024, but less than 4400 of theirs are "active" or "deployed".
You guys should watch the movie Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb! Great movie about credible deterance. Stanly Kubrick movie. It's a comedy.

You might be interested in two films dealing with the aftermath: "Threads" 1984 and/or "The Day After" 1983
Tsar Bomba was the largest ever actually detonated. There are a few crazy videos.
The videos don't really show you the scale of it.

Paper Tiger😂 Good luck with that!
If any failed test is an indication that it is being conducted by a paper tiger, then the US are a paper tiger)
The MIRVs on the Trident would not normally be all exploded on the same target.
As you may use metric, converted it is 1billion,88million,621thoundsand,688 KG of TNT.
These are missiles that are in service. The Tsar Bomba was not accepted into service.
You can self destruct a ICBM or a SLBM in flight.
Sometimes.

Problem isn't the "size" it's the NUMBER of hits, multiples, that will target certain cities, military bases etc

First Strike... must watch
"Why Finland Has 54,000 Nuclear Bunkers" the one presented is quite cool one🤗 ruclips.net/video/922Db-kztC0/видео.html

Dude, who cares. People should be scared of nuclear weapons. Are you crazy? I don’t give a fuck if it is propaganda, it’s good propaganda.
You guys should watch the movie Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb! Great movie about credible deterance. Stanly Kubrick movie. It's a comedy.
Propaganda for what end? You sound quite young. I was born in the 60's how about you?
@EL_Duderino68 The propaganda really ties the message about fear together.
@@archersfriend5900 What proaganda? I do get your joke though. :)
You're out of your element Donny.
