...bloc of neutral nations coveted by both East and West. But. as a man who lives by power. Khrushchev was forced by the requirements of power to take that chance. Russia badly needed to test its family of nuclear weapons. In particular. Russian scientists needed to test small, limited-yield battlefield weapons, a category in which the Soviet Union is thought to trail far behind the U.S. Moreover, with his eye on Berlin. Khrushchev was gambling that his ruthless maneuver would intimidate the U.S.. weaken the resolve of the Western Allies, and scare the East Germans into submission. Khrushchev...
...kinds of nuclear explosives need testing to see if they will explode at all, or if their performance will justify their cost and weight. Still other tests are merely experiments in nuclear physics. The device tested may be useless as a weapon, but scientists hope that its explosion will yield information about the behavior of atoms and subatomic particles which they cannot obtain in any other way. These far-out tests may be the most important of all because they lead to long-range progress...
...Soviet Union today has conducted a nuclear test in the general area of Semipalatinsk in Central Asia. The device tested had a substantial yield in the intermediate range. It was detonated in the atmosphere...
What bombs have the Russians tested? The Russians are believed to have a well-tested arsenal of H-bombs, but there is reason to believe that their bombs may be heavier than U.S. bombs of the same explosive yield. Strong evidence for this speculation is the powerful booster rocket that the Russians are now using so effectively for their space spectaculars. The big rockets were developed at great cost because they were needed to carry very heavy loads. The U.S.. which had lighter H-bombs in prospect, was slow to concentrate on giant rockets. Little is known about other...
