militaryfix.com— The Tsar Bomb was the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed or detonated. At 50 megatons, it had the power of all the explosives detonated in WWII combined...multiplied by ten!

@raid517"since 10x 2 million does not 50 megatons make. So in reality the Tsar Bomb was more than 2.5x as powerful again as the total amount of munitions dropped in WWII."Not that it really matters but I think you meant the Tsar Bomb was 25 times bigger than the combined firepower of WW2 (at least if we are going to use the 2 megaton number for WW2)

this is the kind of stuff that scares me. If North Korea had this we'd be screwed worse than a 5 year old boy at the neverland ranch.
