Tu-22 With 50 Megaton Nuclear Tsar Bomb vs WWII IJN Pearl Harbor Fleet (Naval Battle 111) | DCS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- We finish our mini series looking at Cold War nuclear bombs and missiles with a bang! Today we drop a 50 megaton Russian Tsar Bomba on the 1941 Japanese Fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor.
There is some serious science to this: how effective would such a large warhead be to naval vessels and could the dropping aircraft escape the blast?
Then to finish we attack Godzilla and his friends on Monster Island!

''warhammer''🤣
you just hate the japanese dont you
Another thing about the Tsar Bomba, originally it was planned to be a 100 Mt weapon, but was scaled down to a 50 Mt "demonstration" model
Wasn't it Khrushchev's claim that it was 100mt, and the US spy plane that calculated it actual yield?
That was due to Andrei Sakharov having enough courage to tell Kruschev that 100MT was just too big a blast. That took juevos rancheros. It could be "dialed up" to 100MT however.
I believe they did that in order to give the crew of the bomber at least a 50% chance of surviving. If they had used the 100 Mt design, they didn't have any means of delivering it to the target without destroying whichever plane did that job.
They could, of course, have done a static test, but I think they wanted to demonstrate an actual weapon rather than the principle.
And also someone calculated, that the 100Mt bomb shock wave may break the windows even in the Moscow.
The full 100mt fireball was expected to cause a huge amount of fallout as well as it would reach from ground to upper atmosphere
I was pumped until I found out DCS doesn't simulate a nuclear blast.
What's even the point lol.
"We've simulated this nuke! It doesn't simulate the nuke part though."
The specially modified Tu-95V bomber was flying maximum power, and they were given a 50% chance to survive the mission. When the shock wave hit the airplane, it lost speed some, and lost considerable altitude due to the lower pressure behind the blast front. The pilot, Major (later promoted to the Soviet equivalent of Lieutenant Colonel) Andrey Durnovtsev, retired after flying this mission. He died in 1976, aged only 53.
And keep in mind the bomb was detonated at half yield. If it was detonated t full yield the pilots would not have a chance of survival.
@@tetraxis3011everybody ALREADY FUCKING KNOWS
They also had to paint the plane a reflective white to mitigate the thermal radiation from the blast, as well as dropping it while climbing to sort of loft it and use a parachute to slow its decent. It was a hell of an effort, and still 50/50 odds. Totally impractical weapon, the 100MT would have lost most of that extra energy to space, and been no more "effective" than the 50MT. I remember reading somewhere that the 100MT's fireball would have had a diameter equal to the thickness of Earth's atmosphere.
Emperor Hirohito: WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR FLEET!?
IJN Admiral: It...disappeared...sir
Emperor HiroHito: HOW DOES A FLEET DISAPPEAR!?
The same way Hiroshima and Nagasaki disappeared. Sir.
The TU-22 has ability to carry 24t of bombs, the Tsar Bomb was 27t. You will have a lot of problem to carry it. The fireball was about 8km, the village 55km from center was completely destroyed. Shock wave was detected even 700km away. And seismic wave goes around the world 3 times.
yeah, a big part of that fleet would end up inside the fireball.
Would the shockwave not hit itsself if it went around the world once. I cant get my head around that
It carried 54tons of fuel too so it’s not like it would be over weight.
Also, the American delivery method for bombing like that is “Toss Bombing” it has a Wikipedia page, check it out.
Also look at closeup of the Crossroads-Baker detonation. If you look close, there's USS Saratoga being tossed like a twig by the splash. An aircraft carrier tossed like a twig, let that sink in.
well, the Saratoga certainly did sink in.
Housewives! Get rid of all your monster infestation problems with Tsar Bomba! Leaves surfaces clean and free from germs (or any other living things).
Flyable TU-22M's in GR videos was something I didn't know I needed in my life... but now that it's here I can't help but want more!
Atomic bombs make Godzilla stronger!
Cobra in a tu-22, gets a spot in the top ten reasons why i love grim reapers
Interessting thing about the TSAR bomb. They planned to make it 100 megatons. But they where affraid to ignite the whole athmosphere of our planet. Pretty similar to the first nuke ever ignited.
Also interessting: The tungusga event, that thing that happend in russia and nobody actually knows what it was, was even bigger. Probably an astroid.
6:40 the Kuzkina Mat' (Russian nickname, equivalent of "we'll show you") was a shockingly big explosion. The mushroom cloud was 40 miles tall and 65 miles across. The shock wave was detectable on its third trip around the world.
wiki
One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 km (170 mi). The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 km (430 mi) away; windowpanes were partially broken for distances up to 900 kilometres (560 mi). Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage at even greater distances, breaking windows in Norway and Finland.[55] Despite being detonated 4.2 km (3 mi) above ground, its seismic body wave magnitude was estimated at 5.0-5.25.
Bigger than one of my farts.
@@grimreapers post or pre vindaloo 😆
The Tsar bomba also demonstrated the concept of the "Backyard nuclear bomb" or rather if you built a big enough and layered enough fission-fusion-fission bomb you never had to worry about the delivery of it.
Just if the winds were right, you could blow it up in your backyard and take out your adversary with the effects from it.
Forget Beautiful Humans in Sexy Machines for your brand tag, it needs to be Cap's quote "The World's Best Science, Ever Done by Anyone, Ever."
Interestingly the Tsar Bomb was likely cleaner in fallout terms than Castle Bravo even though it was about 3x more powerful as it was 97% fusion which has significantly less fallout and 3% fission compared to Castle Bravo which was 80-85% fission. This probably contributed to documented significant health consequences from CB while none known for Tsar.
CB was detonated at surface in a shot cab on a coral island. Radiation case was U-238, which fussions under fast neutron bombardment from fusion. So tremendously contaminating from fission products and pulverized coral.
Tsar Bomba was detonated at 13,000 feet, and had a lead radiation case. It would have been 100 MT with a U-238 radiation case. Fireball did not touch the ground.
I wouldn't trust Soviet reporting
@@SchamaliDhali The US collected and analyzed the fallout from Tsar Bomba, so its configuration could be quite accurately determined without any need to consult the USSR. Airborne and naval radiological sampling began before the USSR detonated its first nuclear device in 1949, and is a key technology in monitoring the progress of each nuclear state's capabilities.
"Get the lube ready" - I am literally crying with laughter ! Top marks guys !!
Probably more likely to be a katana and/or an anchor...
The "they do move in herds " comment made me spit milk out my nose
"Pacific Rim Kaiju" appears to be the titular kaiju from the 1998 film _Godzilla._
Cap: Yeah!, the boys....
The plane: Eject!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most of the video was great ... but you dropped nuclear bombs on Godzilla. 10/10 for style minus several million for good thinking. :)
Hilarious! Over-boomboom best boomboom? Definitely need more Monster Island combat missions. Surely there's something that A-10s can do with monsters.
OK sounds like a plan!
I second this. 30mm vs Kong for the win
Could Godzilla survive the two bombs from 45? They were really tiny compared to todays bombs.
@@grimreapers Go get em ya freak! Brrrt.
Testing by the U.S. in the open Pacific showed that a nuclear blast under the surface is far more effective against ships than an airburst. So you did good!
Yeah, the problem is the limitation of DCS to understand that hydraulic compression. The damage modeling just isn't there.
14:08 I’m shocked usually a f18 removes a pixel of health from the carrier. I think having all the planes exploding at the same time majorly killed it. bird is truly a hero
I remember the Hustler, I had it for the articles until my Mom made me throw it out.
About the Tsar Bomba, it is suspected that it was a three-stage thermonuclear weapon, most other fusion weapons are two-stage.
Took me a minute till I got your Hustler joke, lol
Now I wanna see what planes you could drop this bomb from and get far enough away to survive.
SR-72 at Mach 12?
@@grimreapers now you're thinking 👍
@grimreapers the SR-72 could be like the end boss, but it would be cool to use other planes too like the BoneR and other faster bombers. Just a thought.
@@ArchAngel-FJBalthough the bone isn't significantly faster than what we saw here.
@@grimreapersIf it is I haven't ran across one of your videos, but is the SR-71 or 72 in DCS? That'd be neat to do something with that if you haven't man, at least maybe I'll give you a awesome idea for something
Love all the uploads Cap. Always giving us great content
One GR video a day keeps the doctor away.
@grimreapers Great motto , if only I could tell all my injuries that lol . Much love GR crew, from USA . You all are the best
@grimreapers Forgot to say Cap, that singing was on point. And Simba said " you used to make mistakes for the girls " lol, I actually used to do that in school. I would get blank CD's and burn songs onto them with " Limewire " . Little did I know at the time that Limewire would give my cpu AIDS lol .
B-58 Hustler! Yes please!
Ya know, I believe way back when, the DOD determined that anything over 15 megatons blew all it's extra energy out into space... So your blast model would be incorrect in earth's atmosphere.
Roger, game does not take that into account I guess.
Any explosion is essentially spherical, so at least half the energy is directed upwards and effectively wasted. Maybe another five to ten percent is at such a shallow angle that it's pretty much ineffective, so only about 40-45% results in "useful" destruction of the target. You get a more efficient use of nuclear material by detonating a bunch of smaller warheads than one big one, one of the reasons why MIRV started happening.
Because of your past video Dance of the Vampires, I have started re-reading Red Storm Rising. The Backfire has a very prominent roll in that novel. I have been trying to recreate some of the other scenarios within the limits of what DCS can do. So many other scenarios would be possible if we had the Scandinavian map! That's the one I have been pining for the most lately. But going against the Imperial Japanese fleet with nuclear weapons is one I could have NEVER dreamed up. lol Only the mind of Super Cap can create such a masterpiece.
Pining for the Fjords... heheh
@@CaptainSeamusLovely bird, the Norwegian Blue -- beautiful plumage!
Culture Club and Tsar Bomba roasting monsters in the same video. Outstanding!
"We'll be lucky to hit anything with any of them (conventional bombs)"........ that's the spirit. 😂 Also, with the radiation, will Horror Island transmogrify into The Island of Dr. Moreau ?
What is the blast radius of the tsar bomber?
'Yes'.
Blast radius was 22 miles but there was considerable damage 150 miles away. The detonation took place 4km up.
Tsar bomba was known to be the largest bomb since built. The pilots, at the time, needed to travel away once it drop to the site. Even though they attached a parachute to the bomb, the outcome of the plane had minor damage.
The Tu-22, and the Tu-22M were almost completely different aircraft. "Dasvadonya, Tovarich!!"
How this plays out. Hawaii is never attacked, the US then focuses all its effort into the war in Europe, and the war is over in early 1943 with Japan never being able to rebuild its fleet because of sanctions.
The first cassettes I bought was the Metallica black album, AC/DC Live, and the Star Trek: TNG, Encounter at Far Point soundtrack.
I'm gonna be late to this show, but what you're looking to do to adjust for that weapon drift (like it matters) is called PUP for pull-up/push over. Approach at 50 thousand, nose up at weapon release to 'loft' the bomb, dive the delivery aircraft down to 20 thousand at full burn and haul ass. You'll give your delivery aircraft an extra 90 seconds to escape....head for land! You should be able to achieve approximately 72-75 miles. Big difference between a Backfire run and a BUFF run and the -52's can survive this.
The _Tsar Bomba_ as tested was rated by the Soviets as 50 megatons. As it was their bomb, I think their estimate has priority over the American estimates; they had all the instruments and stuff set up in Novoya Zemlya to measure it, and the US had only one spy plane (which, it is rumoured, got its paint scorched). It was originally designed as a 100-Mt bomb, but the uranium tamper was replaced by a lead one for the test to give the TU-95V _Bear_ a chance of surviving the blast.
After the detonation, the Limited Test-Ban Treaty was agreed between the US and USSR, but the US expected the Russians to break it, so they designed two very high yield bombs: the prosaically-named Big Test Vehicle, designed to completely fill a B-52's bomb-bay; and the _Flashback,_ which required the bomb-bay doors to be taken off. It isn't known what the yields would have been, since the Soviets didn't break the treaty, so the US didn't have the excuse to actually build their bombs. Further test bans were agreed between the two nations, eventually banning all tests anywhere except underground, and those of limited yield.
Wondering why you would try to drop conventional bombs across the fleet’s path instead of down the length of the path of their movement.
Yes I suppose we should have.
Can't believe Cap has never seen Pacific Rim.
Honestly can't remember the last time I watched a movie.
It came out in 2013.
Cap and all your crew thank for this/all of your videos but my big thanks goes to your Grim Reaper who said the Tu-22 looked like a F 111 you made me shout at the screen with joy that some one else could see that resemblance. Please note I am English and I don't shout, well not much. Cheers boys🤘
I'm disappointed no one has made some kind of explosion effect for nukes.
The TSAR Bomba was absolutely massive even by Russian standards. It was the size of a tugboat
I watch these every day as part of my viewing schedule, and this was the best/funniest in a long time LMAO..
Next ship: RF Pyotr Velikiy
Imperial Japanese Navy attacks the Death Star…common Cap….let the shenanigans flow through you.😂😂😂
It was actually 58.7 Megatons exactly. Simulation should include the 100 Megaton torpedo simulation. Please simulate it with same fleet using Russian torpedo called “Poseidon”. Yay 😅62 miles blast radius 3rd degree burns. Kind of scary actually.
First Fly, and now Grumpnik returns, making my week guys!
In 1926, the US had a captured German warship, and test bombed it from the air. The initial response was to scoff at the sinking - the ship was neither maneuvering nor firing back, and didn't have a crew aboard to affect damage control. Aside from being able to hit a target, the demo seemed to prove nothing. Of course, WWII would go on to show how effective aircraft could be in naval combat.
Twenty years later, another German vessel is in US hands (Prinz Eugen) and once again its used for a test target. After both an airburst atom bomb, and an underwater detonation of a second - the vessel seemed fine. A broken mast, a dislodged secondary gun, and a slow leak on some bearings - nothing a good damage control team couldn't handle in a few hours. It seemed that the new weapon was also not a great threat. Then the doctors with Geiger counters got involved and realized how contaminated the vessel was. The damage control crew might have fixed the ship in a few hours, but would be dead in a few days after that.
Backfire always reminds me more of the A5 Vigilante rather than the Hustler
As an old nuclear target analyst, the ultra-huge Tsara Bomba was more a prestige project than an actual operational weapon. I'd rather have 57, one megaton bombs than one big, 57 Mt one. The destructive power of a nuclear device follows the inverse square law. So, it makes much more sense to use a pattern of lower-yield devices rather than just make a bigger bomb. Plus, putting all your eggs in one basket is risky. Your aircraft could be shot down, have mechanical trouble, or the bomb could malfunction somehow. If you had a fizzle rate of 5%, for 57 devices, the mission would still be effective. If your lone 57 Mt bomb malfunctions, you have lost a lot of fissile material for no effect.
How about Rapid Dragon vs Pearl Harbor? Great videos as always!

Simba's really committed to the bit...
I love this channel. Reminds me of the good old days in the Op Flashpoint mission editor with mods and my friend and I going "what if x happened"
If you think cassette tapes were good, you should try eight track. They were the best. The only reason they did not dominate was the the fact that the cassette came out first by a fair degree and the other formats missed the bus.
You don't know what a Kaiju is? Wow. You've never watched Pacific Rim. Watch it.
Tu-22 was built for Maritime Strike missions.
thx
I wish this game had a better representation of the fireball and mushroom cloud for nuclear weapons.
Incidentally, look up Operation Crossroads, when the US bombed a fleet of surplus ships at Bikini Atoll with a couple of Nagasaki-scale bombs (about 1/2000th the yield of _Tsar Bomba)._ Also check out the photos of the aircraft carrier USS _Independence_ after the first test.
That's an interesting subject: What if the Tzar Bomb had been dropped on Nagasaki instead of Fat Man.
Why nuke maps exist lol. About 650k instantly killed, an additional 1.25 million wounded. There are om average 4.5million people in the light blast damage radius who would likely all suffer from radiation poisoning. It would have been the single greatest loss of life event in all of human history, Japan probably never would have recovered.
Lmao!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
TSAR Bomba vs the Japen Imperial Fleet! Much hilarious ridiculousness reigns once more - go for it Cap 👍😊😊😊😊

Yup
Dimitri owes you 5800 rubles! That's two whole US Dollars!
But a bet is a bet, that Хуй с горы! Grumpnik will get what he is owed!
When I was in Russia a while back 2013isb it was 30-40ish Rubles to the USD.
It’s about 90 rubles to the dollar as I write this.
I don't know why, but today especially I was laughing in my tears. Thanks cap!
The only reason the bear that dropped the tsar bomb survived is the bomb was on a massive parachute which slowed its descent long enough to barely get away
I bought my Godzilla coffee mug in Tokyo airport!
Thanks again for all the glorious content!
Tsar Bomba not Tsar Bomb.
bomba in russian is bomb in english
Also RUclips is weird so there’s that
You nuked Godzilla with a Tsar bomb? I thought that only makes even more Godzillas? Can you cruise missile barrage the hospital Hitler was born in on the day of his birth?
yeah, you guys are nuts. gotta love it . . .
Love the monster island!
Imagine the terror of carrying a nuclear bomb and crashing on takeoff.

Hope all pilots were thoroughly intoxicated on Vodka to encourage survival and significantly reduce F's given!
just read the title, got too excited and had to post. 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Hands down the most scientifically useful and accurate video on RUclips. Sorry, FermiLab.
I just noticed this video mentioned in the description of another GR video. I read *_"Tsar Bomb"_* and IMMEDIATELY clicked on this vid...😊
Now Cap, the true greatness of magnetic tape can only be realized in the "glory" that was the cassette to 3.5mm headphone adapter!
The amazing hisses and whines they produce regardless of volume setting after sitting in the head unit of your car for about a week (or less) or until the fake spokes jam and the head unit either eats or ejects it.
Alternatively - having to spend an hour ripping your VCR apart to remove your favorite movie because the tape head didn't let go of it so you have to make it, without destroying the tape or the tape head in the process and put it back together after.
Also - nuking the nuclear powered lizard (Godzilla)...Do you want Turbo Godzilla? Because that's how you get Turbo Godzilla
Pacific Rim kaiju, a Japanese word for a supernaturally large monster.
thx
cassette tapes were cheap imposters .. Reel to Reel is where it was at!
"It was called the Blinder, and the updated version was called the Backfire" That's NATO's names for the though isn't it?
Which leads me to the question; who comes up with these names?
Some committee? 😛
Must be.
This can't be the final video in the series CAP. You now have to try shooting down the tsar bomba with zeros!
lol that sounds quite the challenge.
I still dont understand why after all these years they haven't created some sort of nuclear explosion effect. Other games have it, DCS should too.
Go Capt!
That was fun to watch. After the great war. Russian made a chemical bomber. But it was to slow. One of the mad things that Russian made. Good fun. 👍👾
The Tu-22 Blinder was nicknamed 'Blind John the man eater' because its ejection seat fired down instead of up.
Wacky idea: TU-160 drops Godzillas on WW2 Japanese carrier. Winner goes to successful landing on deck 😂😂
Fun fact: The Tsar Bomba was the Soviet Union's biggest "F**k you" as their answer to the Castle Bravo thermonuclear test. The American scientists got their maths wrong and instead of a nice, safe 3 megaton blast they actually ended up with a 23 megaton blast (which bloody near killed the scientists since they were observing from close-ish range). Kruschev basically went to Andre Sakharov and told him "we're going to shut these filthy capitalists up, make me a 100 megaton bomb". So Sakharov did, but bottled it at the last minute because he was worried a 100MT detonation might actually ignite the atmosphere and kill all life on Earth, so he nerfed it down to "only" 50+ MT. When it detonated you're absolutely right Cap, it blew a hole up through the atmosphere and could have been seen from MARS. Thankfully all the nuclear-capable powers, when they found out about the Tsar Bomba, just said "hang on, this nuclear dick-measuring contest is getting a BIT silly" and they started talks aimed at limiting the power and numbers of nukes.
If you're in the UK, think of it this way: If you happened to drop the Tsar Bomba on London (pleeeeaaassseeeeeee) it would still be blowing out windows and collapsing light structures IN THE ORKNEY ISLES. Yeah. Those nice islands off the north coast of Scotland. If you dropped it in the south of France you'd basically erase most of Europe clean off the map.
Oww......
How about an M1 Tank at the Battle of the Alamo 1836 !
lol

Equivalent of the Hustler!
I love this channel. 😂❤🎉
The blind spots the cockpit creates is suffocating
Tsar bomba was a Western affectation by a Spanish author. The Soviets called it RDS226.
I love how the monsters were utterly destroyed but every single tree on the island was unharmed.
No damage model on the trees? I kinda understand, but kinda don’t.
Theres something uniquely cool about massive supersonic bombers!
Another great video Cap!!
