Using 7 smaller warheads in a pattern across the city is a lot more efficient. Also the Tsar bomb was just physically too large to even fly to LA. Its just a dick measuring bomb.

PS: The Tsar Bomb design was twice as destructive as the one they actually detonated. They replaced the uranium tamper with lead in the test bomb to reduce fallout.

One US submarine cam obliterate Russia. 160 warheads, each of which can do severe damage to a city. The Russians would just flood the skies with ICBMs and we’d only stop a few.
