Editing Tsar Bomba (section)

== Practical applications ==
The Tsar Bomba was never intended to be a practical or mass-produced weapon; it was a single product, the design of which allowed reaching a power of 100 Mt. The test of a 50-Mt bomb was, among other things, a test of the performance of the product design for 100 Mt.<ref name="rc.nsu.ru"/> However, there were several "super-heavy" ballistic missiles that were developed by the Soviet Union whose early impetus was at least partially, if not entirely, designed to give them a capability to use warheads in the 50-150 Mt range. These included:

* UR-500 – (warhead mass – 40 tons, virtually implemented as a carrier rocket – "[[Proton (rocket family)|Proton]]" – GRAU index – 8K82)
* [[N1 (rocket)|N-1]] – (warhead mass – {{cvt|75|–|95|t|0}}, the development was reoriented into a carrier for the [[Soviet crewed lunar programs|lunar program]], the project was brought to the stage of flight design tests and closed in 1976, GRAU index – 11A52). 
* R-56 – (GRAU index – 8K67)<ref>{{cite journal| last= Первов |first= Михаил |title= Ракетные комплексы РВСН |journal= Техника и вооружение |date= 2001 |volume= 5—6 |pages= 44}}</ref>

In the absence of a push for such high-yield weapons, all of these rocket programs were either used as launch vehicles for the Soviet space program, or cancelled.
