They may have ended up like that but it wasn't the initial intention. Like baboons, that was to show off who had the biggest penis, something like this.

But then Uncle Boris had to show that his was bigger.

>>The Tsar Bomba was the largest nuclear device ever detonated, and was a fusion bomb with a yield of ~50 megatons. It was detonated on October 30, 1961, and was capable of approximately 100 megatons, but was purposely reduced shortly before the launch. Although weaponized, it was not a realistic weapon of war, but was part of saber-rattling between the Soviet Union and United States during the Cold War. The explosion was hot enough to induce third degree burns at 100 km. The test was conducted at Site C on Novaya Zemlya Island in the Arctic Sea.<<
