Tsar Bomba | Will Putin Use The World’s Largest Nuclear Bomb If The Ukraine Russia War Escalates?

Thirty years after the end of the Cold War, the United States and Russia are yet again standing face to face over Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has renewed nuclear threat to the West, possesses the biggest weapon ever made, the world’s largest ever nuclear device – the Tsar Bomba or "the Emperor of Bombs".

On October 30, 1961, at the peak of the Cold War, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev sent an unmistakable warning to the West by testing the most powerful weapon mankind had ever seen. The Tsar Bomba was 2000 times more powerful than the American bomb dropped on Nagasaki and 10 times the total firepower used in the entire Second World War.

Can the course of the war in Ukraine today force Russia to resort to its deadly nuclear weapons? Will Putin use the world’s largest nuclear bomb if tensions with the West over Ukraine escalate?
