This was the most powerful nuclear device ever tried for real and droped from an airplane: 50 MT reduced from 100 MT by the urgent demand of his "father" Andrej Sacharov, who feared the full capacity could have desastrous consequences for the world.
The bomb was transported to Novija Semlija by a Tu-95 bomber acompanied by a Tu-16 for data gathering and filming.
This film was produced for propaganda but never published up to now:

What is not said in the film:
The crews were told that there was no guaranty to survive. But they did survive after regaining control of their aircrafts thrown around by the shockwaves.
I have called here this type of aircrafts "doomsday machines" and they came very close to that: 900 km away the windows were shattered, the pillow rose 64 km high, 100 km away the heat would have burned human skin.
Kind regards
Walter
