The GBU-43 (Massive Ordnance Air Blast, usually called a MOAB. Mother Of All Bombs) which is a 21,000 pound bomb with a blast yield of 11 tons. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has stated that a larger version of the MOAB exists, weighing thirteen tons.
The largest nuclear bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, which had a yield of 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
No, the largest ever built were 25 megaton warheads for the Titan II. But these were never installed on missiles, instead 9 megaton warheads were used. All Titan ICBMs are long retired and there were only 50 built total. Currently the largest yield US bombs are roughly 600 kilotons.
As of now, Russia possesses the largest nuclear bomb in the world known as the Tsar Bomba. It was tested in 1961 and had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated.
When the Soviet Union exploded an atomic bomb, the US response was to increase its own arsenal and its own testing of nuclear weapons.
The largest megaton bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, with a yield of about 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
Nuclear weapons currently produced are between the sizes of a microwave oven and a pickup truck. The smallest have an explosive yield in the sub-kiloton range, and the largest are equal to between 5 and 20 megatons of TNT. For a nuclear bomb, most of the size and weight is shielding, to protect the handlers from the radiation from the bomb core.
No, a nuclear bomb is not the biggest bomb. The largest conventional bomb in terms of explosive yield is the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the "Mother of All Bombs." It is a non-nuclear bomb developed by the United States.
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
The best nuclear bomb is the Tsar bomba
Germany has not made a nuclear bomb.
Robert Oppenheimer is the father of nuclear bomb.
As with any bomb the primary effect is blast.
