RDS-2 refers to a specific type of Russian nuclear bomb developed during the Cold War era. It is part of a series of Soviet nuclear weapons and was an evolution of the earlier RDS-1 (the Soviet Union's first atomic bomb, which was a copy of the American bomb). The RDS-2, developed in the early 1950s, was designed to improve upon its predecessor in terms of yield and efficiency.
