Re: Actually

No two nuclear countries have ever gone to war directly with each other.

Not yet, yes. If you kill the enemy with nukes you also kill yourself. Attack an antipedophile in the street and see what happens to you. The simple instinct of self-preservation prevents any sensible or selfish person from starting the nuclear war.

But the nuclear weapons exist and I am sure that some day they are used too.

I have known this video for a long time. I learned lately that parts of it are in fact authentic, maybe also some scenes inside the plane?

A diabolic one. It could not touch the island below because the pressure wave, reflecting from the ground, made the fireball - diameter 8 kilometres - bound upwards.

This happened quite close to me - close, relatively speaking; Novaya Zemlya, in its arctic solitude, is far from Scandinavia - because I have lived in Finland and Sweden; windows were broken in the Finnish and Swedish Lapland. In those days the Nordic countries did not send many notes to the Soviet Union, and did they even know about this bomb?

One of the most impressive achievements of mankind, not in a good sense.
