3MT , 2350m height. The British Grapple Y test, quality is not good but there is something about the music , naval crew dressed for the flash and the nervous pilots in this video , which makes it captivating .

400 kilotons at the very low height of 30m.

Around the 2:50 mark the "dark dust plume on the ground" is a 4 story brick building being destroyed at a range of 2km , the smaller plume behind it is from a 2 story building at 2.5Km. Im pointing them out for scale. You can fit this much energy in the strategic b61s physics package and have it weight around 130-160kgs. Its the ofice trash bin sized shiny object in the b61 disasembly pictures.
