Detonation of China's first hydrogen bomb
On the morning of June 17, 1967, a fighter plane dropped a parachute over the the Lop Nur experimental base in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Accompanied by a massive explosion, a towering mushroom cloud ascended into the sky, marking the successful air-dropped detonation test of China's first hydrogen bomb. This test was another leap forward in China's nuclear weapon development after the successful explosion of its first atomic bomb, a milestone which took only 2 years and 8 months to achieve.
