Thermonuclear warhead

A thermonuclear warhead, also known as a hydrogen bomb, is a highly powerful nuclear weapon that uses a two-stage process to release enormous energy. First, an initial fission explosion (like an atomic bomb) creates intense heat and pressure, which then triggers a secondary fusion stage. In this stage, isotopes of hydrogen combine under extreme conditions, releasing even more energy than the fission bomb. This fusion process results in a vastly more destructive explosion, capable of devastating large areas. Thermonuclear weapons are among the most potent armaments ever developed, with destructive power millions of times greater than conventional explosives.
