In the film it is shown as one of the shots of the Operation Roza (NZ, 12/09/61 and 16/09/61), but to me is clearly not (those were megaton-range airbursts in a cloudy/stormy weather). If the footage is in real speed, the explosion must be relatively small, and the dome-shaped Wilson cloud suggest is a near-ground level explosion. The bottom of the frame was cropped, but assuming this was in NZ, I think this one is Korall-2 or Shkval. Compare it with    • Soviet nuclear test with a cruise missile ...  

00:05 : Shown immediately after the first one in the same film.
This also can't be one of the explosions of Operation Roza as pretended to portrait. Literature mentions that visibility was low during those tests due to the overcast sky.

(Edited) This is apparently a footage of the RDS-37 test of 1955 (and not a test at NZ as I previously thought because of the body of water in the landscape). (A note of interest, the man who is talking was Vasily Bolotov, the only crewmate of the Tu-95 that carried the Tsar Bomba who was alive at the time of making that docu).

In this film it is presented as the explosion in Operation Tyulpan (08/09/62). The scene shown just before this one in the film is shown in another film that is solely about the Operation Tyulpan:    • 1962 Испытания ракеты средней дальности Р-...  . Maybe it is just the perspective, but the bottom Wilson cloud seems to have different proportions relative to the upper Wilson clouds in the early development in both scenes, I think they could be different explosions.

Narrator says this was a test at STS and of the same yield than test nº25 (0.3 - 0.4 kt, the explosion that is shown just before in that film). I think yield is higher than that. Film is said to be from 1955 but must be at least from 1956. See also:    • Soviet ground nuclear tests

A representation of a nuclear attack on a city using a real explosion footage as background. Film is from 1959.
