Soviet Atomic Bomb

 

In August 1949 the USSR successfully tested its first atomic bomb at a  remote site in Kazakhstan with the codename  “First Lightning.”

Buildings, bridges, other structure and caged animals were placed nearby to measure the effects of the blast..

The  20-ton atomic explosion (roughly equal to the American atomic bomb named “Trinity”) destroyed  all the structures and incinerated the animals.
