All Chinese Nuclear Weapons Test were conducted in the Xiniang or (Sinkiang) annonymous Test region, also used for Missile Testing, this Test was conducted in Area D Lop Nur Test Site... The Test Site which was first set up in 1955 was called Lop Nur Test Site. The Huge 3.3 megaton airburst completely melted steel plates 13,000 feet from ground zero, a 54 ton locamotive 2 miles away was thrown completely off it's tracks like a child's play toy, brick houses 9 miles from ground zero collapsed entirely from the force of the blast. Troops left their protective Trenches after the shockwave had passed and prosceeded to advance towards ground zero. The weapon was dropped by the Chinese Hong-6 Bomber and deploying a parachute so the crew could have enough time to get out of the imediate area. The Bomb exploded at an altitude of 9,497 feet in the air.

The Actual Drop Plane, Hong-6 Bomber.

The Explosion


Here is another video of different Chinese High Yield Nuclear Testing in the 1960's and 1970's, to see the effects of large nuclear explosions on different types of structures and animals to see how they would respond to them. And I think it shows a scene of the blastwave from this test in the video.

I didn't realize that was the story behind the drawing. Did you make the drawing in China?
