Editing RDS-1 (section)

==Etymology==

There are several explanations for the Soviet code-name of RDS-1, usually an arbitrary designation: a [[backronym]] "Special Jet Engine" ({{lang|ru|Реактивный двигатель специальный}}, ''Reaktivnyi Dvigatel Spetsialnyi''), or "Stalin's Jet Engine" ({{lang|ru|Реактивный двигатель Сталина}}, ''Reaktivnyi Dvigatel Stalina''), or "Russia does it herself" ({{lang|ru|Россия делает сама}}, ''Rossiya Delayet Sama'').<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Khalturin|first1=Vitaly I.|last2=Rautian|first2=Tatyana G.|last3=Richards|first3=Paul G.|last4=Leith|first4=William S.|date=1 January 2005|title=A Review of Nuclear Testing by the Soviet Union at Novaya Zemlya, 1955–1990|url=http://scienceandglobalsecurity.org/archive/sgs13khalturin.pdf|journal=Science & Global Security|volume=13|issue=1–2|pages=1–42|doi=10.1080/08929880590961862|bibcode=2005S&GS...13....1K|s2cid=122069080|issn=0892-9882}}</ref> Later weapons were also designated RDS but with different model numbers.
