The USSR's 1961 Tsar Bomba (King of bombs), yield 52 to 58 MTon (depending on measurement technique). It was an air dropped 3 stage hydrogen fusion bomb with a design yield of 100 MTons. Andrei Sakharov (its designer) had the amount of lithium-deuteride fusion fuel in the 3rd stage reduced for the test to cut expected yield roughly in half while still demonstrating ignition of all stages.
The effects of this bomb were so dramatic that Sakharov soon became a strong opponent of nuclear weapons and testing, spending several years in Siberian prison camps for his protests.
Physically the largest nuclear bomb was the US's 1952 Ivy Mike, yield 10 MTons. It stood 80 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter on the island of Eugelab in the Eniwetok atoll. It was a 2 stage hydrogen fusion bomb using cryogenic liquid deuterium and tritium. Eugelab ceased to exist when Mike exploded.
Russia currently owns the biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. Also Russia made and detonated the biggest nuclear bomb in history called the Tsar bomb.
Robert Oppenheimer is the father of nuclear bomb.
No president invented any nuclear bomb.
hydrogen bomb, or a nuclear bomb
The test was codenamed Trinity, the bomb was codenamed Gadget.
Russia currently owns the biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. Also Russia made and detonated the biggest nuclear bomb in history called the Tsar bomb.
the biggest bomb known in mankind is a nuclear bomb :)
Yes, Nuclear weapons create the biggest man-made explosions
No, a nuclear bomb is not the biggest bomb. The largest conventional bomb in terms of explosive yield is the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the "Mother of All Bombs." It is a non-nuclear bomb developed by the United States.

The biggest nuclear bomb ever detonated is called the Tsar Bomba. It was detonated by the Soviet Union in 1961 and had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested.
The biggest explosion in history was the detonation of the Hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.
The biggest nuclear weapon ever tested was the Tsar Bomba, a hydrogen bomb detonated by the Soviet Union in 1961. It had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.
As of now, Russia possesses the largest nuclear bomb in the world known as the Tsar Bomba. It was tested in 1961 and had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated.
The Tsar Bomba; that was made by the Soviet Union (Russia)
I have heard that it was a Titan II warhead at 25 megatons, but have not verified.
