'This needs to be compared against the Russian (Tsar Bomba) record so far, for a fair comparison in this day and age of modern innovation.'
Actually, and this may sound counter intuitive, the Tsar Bomba had little military significance. It was constructed as a demonstration of Soviet innovation, expertise & technology, plus, of course, as a warning to 'The West'. The Tsar Bomba was a massive weapon, weighing around 27 tonnes! Delivery of such a weapon, was by a relatively slow flying TU-95V.
The delivery of the Tsar Bomba, to it's designated target, would have been fraught with danger, as the opportunity to shoot down such a slow flying plane, would have been high.
Most modern weapons, don't necessarily need a high yield, as accuracy and speed of delivery, are considered more desirable.
