Fears Putin is on the verge of a terrifying nuclear test on the Arctic tundra, where the world’s largest nuclear bomb, Tsar Bomba, was detonated
Fears are growing that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to carry out a terrifying nuclear explosion test in the pristine Arctic.
The atomic bomb would be detonated at the same site where the world’s most powerful bomb was detonated in 1961, a political analyst has claimed.
Sixty years ago, Russia unleashed the infamous Tsar Bomba and caused an explosion of 3,300 times more energy then the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
There are acute concerns that the 71-year-old Putin will conduct another full nuclear explosion test at the same site, on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.
Political analyst Dmitry Bolkunets said: “In the near future futurean atomic bomb will probably be detonated on the island of Novaya Zemlya.
“Tests can take place underground.”
Putin has already revoked Russia’s ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and instructed his Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu, to be ready to resume testing.
In August last year, Shoigu was sent to conduct an inspection in Novaya Zemlya, where more than 700 nuclear tests have been conducted since 1949.
One of those tests involved the infamous 50-megaton Tsar bomb, nicknamed the “King of Bombs.”
Some of Putin’s closest associates have called on the tyrant to scare the West over his support for the West Ukraine using a shock equivalent to the Tsar bomb test of October 30, 1961.
Putin ally and head of the Kurchatov Nuclear Institute Mikhail Kovalchuk said: “I think this is a right idea.”
Others have urged Putin to unleash hypersonic sound nuclear weapons about Ukraine or the West.
Officially called “product 602” and codenamed Ivan, the massive thermonuclear Tsar Bomba was designed to show that Soviet scientists had overtaken the US in destructive current.
The city destroyer was so big – 7 meters long, 2 meters wide and 27 tons heavy – that it could not fit on an airplane.
Top secret footage released in 2020 showed him hanging under a specially converted Tu-95 bomber during his only test.
The crew released the monster bomb at a high altitude over Severny Island Russia‘s far north.
A parachute slowed his fall before exploding 2.4 miles (3.9 km) above the ground in a blinding flash that could be seen 600 miles (1,000 km) away.
The shock wave from the Tsar bomb circled around the Soil three times and the nuclear mushroom rose above the stratosphere as glass was blown out of homes nearly 500 miles away.
Between September 21, 1955 and October 24, 1990, approximately 130 nuclear tests were conducted on Novaya Zemlya, including 88 in the atmosphere, 39 underground and three underwater.
There were hundreds of news reports about Putin’s new potential nuclear test gathered in a church in Moscow to say goodbye the president’s most outspoken critic, Alexei Navalnywho died in prison last month while serving a 19-year sentence on trumped-up charges of extremism.
Western leaders and members of his team claim that Navalny was “killed” on the Russian dictator’s direct orders.
Russia announced during the funeral procedure today that it had tested a Yars ballistic missilewhich can carry nuclear warheads with a strength of 500 kilotons – almost 30 times the power of the bomb the US dropped on Hiroshima to end WWII.
Video released by Russian state media showed the 50,000 kg, 22 meter long weapon being fired from a mobile rocket launcher.
The missile, launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, hit the Kura range on the Kamchatka Peninsula on Russia’s Pacific coast.
It came after the deranged despot Putin warned yesterday that the West is in danger of being destroyed during a more than two-hour tirade against the Russian elites.
