History
The RDS-4 "Tatyana" (Lit. Fairy Queen) was the first mass-produced aerial-delivered nuclear weapon produced by USSR. This nuclear bomb, with a composition of Plutonium-239 and enriched Uranium-235, was tested on August 23, 1953 at the Semipalatinsk Test Site (or Semipalatinsk-21) in today's Kazakhstan; where the test showed the overall explosion yield was around 30 kt. Future tests also tested for the possibility of assaults after nuclear blasts against NATO targets if the Cold War turned into nuclear apocalypse.
RDS-4 was used until 1966 when it was eventually replaced by newer bombs such as RN-24/25/28 bombs.
