Castle Bravo was not dropped. It was a surface burst inside a metal shot cab built on an artificial island on the coral reef just outside Bikini atoll.

What threatens a castle?

It depends on what kind of castle you mean. If you mean a castle from a fantasy story, dragons and/or enemy knights could threaten a castle. If you mean a toy block/lego castle, then just stepping on it or dropping it threatens it. If you mean a real-life castle, then a bomb or something like a bomb could threaten it.

Did the soviet union have hydrogen bomb before the us?

No and yes. Lets look at a timeline.1952, US detonates first hydrogen bomb: Ivy Mike. This device is 6.67 feet (2.03 m) in diameter and 20.33 feet (6.19 m) in height and weighed about 54 tons used a mixture of liquid deuterium and tritium as fuel and required a cryogenic plant weighing about 28 tons to supply ordinary liquid hydrogen to keep it cold. Obviously this was not a practical weapon that could be carried by airplane, but just a proof of concept test device.1953, USSR detonates a deliverable weapon they called "a type of hydrogen bomb": RDS-6 (Joe 4 in the US). The first dry fueled "hydrogen bomb", using alternating layers of uranium-235 and lithium-6 deuteride. Today we would call this a boosted fission atomic bomb, not a hydrogen bomb.1954, US detonates several dry hydrogen bombs using lithium-6 deuteride as fuel in Operation Castle. Castle Bravo is the first. Following the success of the Castle Bravo device, a test of a miniaturized version of the Ivy Mike device that could just barely be carried by a B-36 bomber (the largest bomber at the time) was canceled. Castle Romeo is a fully weaponized device designed to be carried by a B-36 bomber, fielded as the EC-17 (EC means emergency capability) that year and with a system of retarding parachutes added (to allow the delivery bomber to escape the blast so the crew can survive) as the MK-17 in early 1955.1955, USSR detonates their first hydrogen bomb: RDS-37. It was the first hydrogen bomb tested by airdrop from a bomber.
