To be fair, swarms of J-7's would make a body pause.

As a member of the 3rd ID stationed in West Germany at that time, I can see some issues with this. 1) The Tsar Bomba was a 1961 test bed weapon, not an operational one. It required specially modified planes and specially made casings and physics packages. The physic packages alone would take...
