- Operation Buffalo consisted of four tests; One Tree (12.9 kilotons of TNT (54 TJ)) and Breakaway (10.8 kilotons of TNT (45 TJ)) were detonated on towers, Marcoo (1.4 kilotons of TNT (5.9 TJ)) at ground level, and the Kite (2.9 kilotons of TNT (12 TJ)) was released by a Royal Air Force (RAF) Vickers Valiant bomber from a height of 11,000 metres (35,000 ft). This was the first drop of a British nuclear weapon from an aircraft. Operation Antler in 1957 tested new, light-weight nuclear weapons. Three tests were conducted in this series: Tadje (0.93 kilotons of TNT (3.9 TJ)), Biak (5.67 kilotons of TNT (23.7 TJ)) and Taranak (26.6 kilotons of TNT (111 TJ)). The first two were conducted from towers, while the last was suspended from balloons. Tadje used cobalt pellets as a tracer for determining yield, resulting in rumours that Britain was developing a cobalt bomb.
That's a shot we've seen less of, thanks for the posting ATC!

It kinda looks like the Trinity test and RDS-1
Same tower height and relatively same yield. The scaling factors were about the same for all three of these tests. Which would explain the explosions similar physical appearances.
Looks like trinity test and you are right
I like how You Tube blocks like 45% of this video with recommendations for other videos.
Beautiful footage as always. Just curious as to how much you paid for this film?
Looks more like 15kt or 20
It was 15.9 kilotons
My father was working there during the tests...he lived into his 80s, but I have prostate cancer.
That’s One Tree shot (Round 1), not Marcoo.
It is One Tree Shot.
Deadly for the local Aboriginal people which were affected not to mention the Australian and British servicemen
Few if any people were directly exposed ...

Shoulda tested it in England. Leave the Aussies alone.
This was many hundreds of kilometers from any major population centre. Your proposal is asinine
Not a very big detonation
What are all those lines?
Rockets before explosion to see blast radius
ALgorithm.
Studying these bombs, compared to the movies. They seem pretty weak, I think I could survive the explosion but not the shockwave
this one looked weak as piss. the blast barely disturbed the smoke lines and then there was just a tiny puff of smoke afterwards. not even as powerful as the beruit blast.
not a nuke, just regular explosives. honestly, the more i watch these videos, the less i believe in nuclear weapons.
@@jdogsfulYeah, nuclear weapons are a conspiracy man
@@jdogsful Believe less what? Usefulness or existence?
@@ZXLNT existence. nagasaki and hiroshima experienced no nuclear fallout and are still inhabited to this day, and i simply dont believe mutually assured destruction would prevent humanity from entering nuclear war.
When is come right down to it, there is simply fuck all proof of nuclear weapons.
