Line 16:
The most powerful bomb ever was [[Tsar Bomba]]: ca. 50 Mt; it had a mass of 27 tons; it was dropped from a bomber for a test, but was for various reasons not very suitable for combat.
The first [[thermonuclear weapon|hydrogen "bomb"]] [[Ivy Mike]] (10.4 Mt) was even heavier in mass, 82 tons. It was too heavy to be deliverable by a plane or rocket, and therefore not very suitable for an attack.
Another type of bomb is called an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) and its primary function is to terminate all working electrical equpmint in the vicinity. Its power can range from one machine to an entire state.
