Hydrogen bombs, or thermonuclear bombs, are usually detonated at various altitudes depending on the desired effects. For maximum destructive impact, they can be detonated at high altitudes, often above 1,000 meters (about 3,280 feet) or even higher. This height allows for a wider blast radius and increased damage from the resulting shockwave and thermal radiation. Specific test detonations, like those conducted by the U.S. or the Soviet Union, varied in height based on their objectives.
