Mmm... soviet showboating. And it comes with a free 'new threat to all life on the crust of the planet and some of that crust itself'! Wow.

50 MT? Are you serious? Hot damn, that's one hell of a bomb. And, as an added bonus, it's ridiculously huge too. I want several. Hundred.

It's completely useless militarily of course, what the hell is the point of building these things. Huge railway cannons have never been decisive in anything (well, in Italy several large railway guns did worry the Allies, but didn't stop them), huge bombs this big aren't going to either.
