That is so true. I just looked up some details about the Russian Tsar Bomba. It was the largest nuclear device ever made and I think they only made one but they did test it.
I imagined such a bomb being detonated over London, UK. Buildings right into the north midlands could be damaged while London would be vapourised. The flash would be visible in Lerwick which is a town on an island to the north of Scotland and it might also be seen in Bilbao which is a city in Spain.
Luckily, the Russians decided the weapon was somewhat impractical but nuclear missiles are typically far more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb so destroying cities in one strike is to be expected.
