First Soviet atomic bomb RDS-1, 1949, high-speed footage. RDS-1 was used in the Soviet Union's first nuclear weapon test. It was exploded on 29 August 1949 at Semipalatinsk, in Soviet Kazakhstan. The RDS-1 explosion yielded the equivalent energy of 22 kilotons of TNT, similar to the American Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan in 1945. The USSR had received extensive intelligence on the design of the Fat Man bomb during World War II.

Soviet RDS-2 atomic bomb test, 1951. Mushroom cloud rising after the detonation of this atomic bomb test, also known as Joe 2, which took place on 24 September 1951 at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in what is now Kazakhstan. This test had a yield of 38 kilotons of TNT. A total of 456 Soviet nuclear tests were conducted at the Semipalatinsk site between 1949 and 1989. This test was the second atomic bomb developed by the USSR. It was detonated from the top of a 30-metre-tall tower, by a signal sent from a bomber flying overhead.
