A new edition of Baku TV’s “Military Chronicle” column has been published.
Oku.Az Reports that in this edition weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons were mentioned.
It was noted that open sources do not deny the existence of weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons based on uranium and plutonium.
Although it is not clear whether they consider themselves nuclear weapons or not.
The first weapon that stands out in this sense is hydrogen bombs. Hydrogen bombs, also known as thermonuclear weapons, have the same destructive factors as nuclear weapons based on uranium-plutonium and have a greater potential explosive power than them.
The destructive power of the hydrogen bomb is based on the use of the energy released by the nuclear fusion reaction of lighter elements into heavier elements.
As a weapon more powerful than a standard nuclear weapon, the “AN602” aviation bomb, also called the “Tsar bomb”, developed in the former Soviet Union in 1956-1961, is also quite popular.
The mentioned bomb is the most powerful explosive device ever produced in the history of humanity and is included in the “Guinness Book of Records” as the most powerful thermobaric device tested.
The “Massive Ordnance Air Blast” (MOAB) bomb in the arsenal of the United States Armed Forces is considered the “mother” of all bombs. This bomb, which was first tested in 2003, was considered the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the US arsenal at the time of its creation.
“Cobalt” bombs are also among the weapons more powerful than conventional nuclear weapons.
These bombs are a theoretical modification of a nuclear weapon that causes strong radioactive contamination of the area even with a relatively weak nuclear explosion. The main destructive factor of the “Cobalt” bomb is the external and internal radiation of its victims and their subsequent death from radiation sickness.
The idea of the “cobalt” bomb, proposed by American physicist Leo Szilard in 1950, has also gone down in history as a “doomsday” machine due to its potential to destroy the entire world. The main feature of this weapon is that it is not necessary to carry it with you. That is, the country that owns this bomb can destroy the entire world just by detonating it on its territory. Officially, the “Cobalt” bomb is considered a weapon that has not yet been produced.
