A hydrogen bomb is a thermonuclear weapon, so almost anything other than that.
Hydrogen is a very simple atom, so how about cslling it the atom bomb?
edit: /s
That name is also already taken. An atom bomb usually refers to the first generation of nuclear bombs that use only fission, e.g., those used in WWII. The hydrogen bomb refers to the second generation of nuclear bombs that use a chain reaction of nuclear fission and fusion to create bombs that are orders of magnitude more powerful.
For comparison, Fat Man was ~20 kilotons and the largest ever bomb (Tsar Bomba) was ~50,000 kilotons.
And why would Yahoo Autos be where you found out Ukraine detonated a thermonuclear weapon in Russia?
The internet was a mistake. Everyone lost the ability for critical thinking or to even look where an article is from apparently.
You don't deserve to be downvoted for this. It's a bomb, that uses hydrogen as fuel, what else would you call it?
And yes, Yahoo Autos is definitely not where you'd hear about this first.
