Historical Description:

The model represents the RDS-4 “Tatyana” bomb, which was a milestone in the development of Soviet nuclear weapons. First detonated on August 23, 1953 at the Semipalatinsk test site, it was smaller and lighter than its predecessors, weighing about 1200 kg. The RDS-4 was the first Soviet tactical nuclear charge to be mass produced – its subsequent variants were used by Soviet Army units until 1966. The most important event involving this bomb was the “Snowball” military exercise in 1954 — the bomb was dropped from a Tu-4 bomber over the Totskoye range, testing battlefield tactics after a nuclear explosion.
