 | | Tsar Bomba (Russian: ЦаÑÑ-бомба, literally "Tsar Bomb"), developed by the Soviet Union, is the largest nuclear explosive ever detonated, and the most powerful device ever employed by humans. |
 | | Nicknamed "Ivan" during its development, the Tsar Bomba was not intended for use in warfare, but was primarily an instance of the Cold war-era saber-rattling indulged in by the USSR and the USA. |
 | | The Tsar Bomba was the culmination of a series of extremely high-yield thermonuclear weapons designed by the USA (e.g., the Mark-17 and B41) and USSR during the 1950s. |
