from badass airplanes and ships to giant submarines and mortars these are tits and biggest military machines and weapons ever made number 10 that's our Bamba biggest nuclear bomb why don't we kick things off with 50 megatons of TNT this is the biggest nuclear bomb ever detonated and to top it off the maximum yield was somewhere around 100 megatons the footage we're looking at is the only available from that day unless the russians have some 1080p HD feed that they never released the bomb weighed in at a massive 60,000 pounds and measured 26 feet long with a 7-foot diameter so why was this weapon created could it be because Nikita Khrushchev wanted to swing his big ol you-know-what at the United States very very likely just to give you some perspective the amount of energy released by this single nuke was about ten times the combined energy of all conventional explosives used in World War two seriously this thing was massive by any standard windowpanes 560 miles away were broken by the blast if the bomb was detonated underground it would have created an earthquake of 8.1 magnitude on the Richter scale the fireball was seen 620 miles away and I'm pretty sure that every squirrel and 100 mile radius was completely incinerated number 9 the USS enterprise biggest naval ship no not the biggest ship in the world the biggest naval ship meaning a ship used by the Navy the USS Enterprise not to be confused with the USS Enterprise or the USS Enterprise or the upcoming USS Enterprise was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world what does that mean it means the ship had an unlimited operational range for up to 25 years the 1100 and 23-foot ship had the capacity to hold up to 90 aircraft displaced 84,000 metric tons of water when it sailed the high sea and had a maximum complement of 5828 people the USS Enterprise made her maiden voyage in 1962 and was involved in many missions around the globe including the quarantine created around Cuba when the Cuban Missile Crisis was going on on December 1st 2012 the USS Enterprise was deactivated but it took until earlier this year for the ship to be finally taken off the naval vessel registry unfortunately the USS Enterprise will not become a museum like many people wanted the ship will be fully dismantled number 8 little David the biggest caliber mortar unlike Lowe Wayne little David was anything but little this beast weighed in at 78 tons and could pack in a 36 inch caliber mortar that weighed 3600 pounds and could reach its target at 1,250 feet per second if you pissed off little David just make sure you were more than 6 miles away from it since that was the maximum firing range so why was little David built in the first place it was originally made for test firing aerial bombs but by 1944 many believed that a ground invasion of Japan was inevitable that meant the military needed something to blow away the strong fortifications on the islands none of that ever happened but little David lives to this day you can check out the massive mortar at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland number seven a and 124 the biggest military cargo aircraft at a unit cost of around 100 million dollars only 55 Antonov an-124 s were built between 1982 and 2014 again a friendly reminder before you go crazy in the comments the an-225 was only used by the military for a short period of time it is now designated a commercial aircraft anyway the an-124 is pretty much a ripoff from the c5 galaxy just kidding but there are some similarities in the designs aircraft measures in a 226 feet long with a wingspan of 240 feet the max takeoff weight is 405 tons 150 tons being cargo it can fly at speeds reaching 537 miles per hour with a range of 30 231 miles if you're unsure of how to transport your 40-foot yacht or a massive dump truck look into hiring the Antonov an-124 some models are also available for commercial use number 6 the b-1b lancer biggest payload strategic bomber this strategic bomber was in the works since the 1960s the military wanted the great speeds of the b-58 hustler combined with the payload and range of the b-52 when everything was said and done the b-1 Lancer has scared the crap out of bad guys since its first flight in 1974 they just didn't know what it was until 1986 when it was first introduced to the public in 1988 the b-1b cost 283 million to produce and the US government decided to build 100 of these supersonic death machines it takes four people to fully operate this bad boy of the skies and with a combined ordnance payload of 125,000 pounds the Lancer could bring democracy in a 3,500 mile range at speeds reaching 830 miles per hour number-5 Akula the biggest submarine project 941 or Akula nato designation typhoon is the russian nuclear-powered attack submarine that holds the record for the largest class submarine ever built it was also the answer to the ohio-class u.s. navy submarines on a site note did you know that the eighteen ohio-class sub scary approximately 50% of all active thermonuclear warheads in the united states arsenal these subs can chill underwater for about 120 days at a time and displace about 48,000 tons of water when submerged they're also 574 feet in length in case you were wondering maybe the Russians went a bit overboard with these subs and even though it seems that going overboard is military speak for barely doing the minimum these subs are expensive so expensive that it was cheaper to build two new borei-class submarines than to modernize a typhoon sub with the advent of the start three disarmament program it is expected that all the typhoon class submarines will be scrapped in the near future number four challenger two biggest tank the Challenger 2 has been in service with the United Kingdom as well as Oman since 1998 and there are no signs of slowing down anytime soon when its combat ready this tank weighs in at 82.7 tons with a length of 44 feet gun forward the Challenger 2 is a beast with a max speed of 37 miles per hour on roads the four people that operate this tank can feel relatively safe in what is considered one of the most heavily armoured and best protected tanks in the world it's worth a mention that in the 1940s there was talks of building a tank that was larger than a basketball court but that never happened thankfully take your pick I wanted to check out the biggest caliber handguns available it's pretty much a toss-up between the Smith & Wesson 500 and the desert eagle 50 Cal both having mechanical and power differences what do you think if you had the chance to choose between a desert eagle or a snw model 500 which one would you pick I think I would have to choose the desert eagle on looks alone number three Moab mother of all balls the gbu 43 be known as the massive ordnance air blast as the nickname of the mother of all bombs and with a nickname like this there's bomb delivers about 11 tons of TNT weighing in at 21,000 600 pounds the MOA recently entered the public eye what it's used in the Afghanistan mountains looking at the Plast it's hard to imagine that anyone or anything in the vicinity survived I should clarify that this is probably the biggest conventional bomb that was ever actually used in combat the US Air Force bill and tested the t12 cloud maker a 44,000 pound bomb the Russians also said they tested something bigger but as of right now it's just hearsay number two the mil mi-26 the biggest helicopter when you have the biggest sub nuke and cargo plane in the world why not go for the biggest helicopter as well the mi-26 is used for military and commercial purposes final testing of the chopper finished in 1980 and with a safe maximum cargo of 20 tons this beast holds the record for the greatest mass lifted to 3.2 miles it managed to carry 57 tons in the sky this is what the 130 foot mi-26 looks like from the inside pretty spacious if you ask me oh yeah it's also pretty fast with max speeds of 183 miles per hour number one heavy gustave biggest railway weapon this one just had to be done the baddies in 1940's Germany built the heavy Gustav production finished in 1941 and only two of these massive railway mortar weapons were built in this picture we can see the generals looking at the progress of the 1,350 tonne 150 foot long weapon that took 250 men to assemble in three days and another 2,500 just to lay the tracks and to flag battalions to protect it from air attacks I'm getting carried away but it's insane how much manpower was dedicated to this machine it wasn't even used that much its rate of fire was a measly 14 rounds a day but considering its great firing range of 24 miles it could still cause a lot of damage remember little David it would have been the largest caliber weapon that was ever used in combat but since it never saw the light of day on the battlefield that record goes to heavy Gustav before the Allies could get their hands on it the gun was destroyed in the forests of Germany some parts were collected by the Red Army and that is the end of the trail for this one check out the featured comment below subscribe for more world on earth
