My bomb is bigger than your bomb

First we had the "Mother of all Bombs" from the US and now from Russia we have the "Father of all Bombs"

It seems MOAB has to move over for FOAB!


Definitely wouldn't want that going off anywhere within a few miles of me though

We once detonated only a tad over 3,000 lbs of C-4 and assorted HE (High Explosive) devices and got both the town and the base in an uproar for some reason.

They'd be in a definite uproar but they wouldn't complain after this exploded -- they'd no longer be.

[quote]Does Russia have strong interests in eradicating one the the USA's biggest threats that poses no threat to themselves? [/qoute]
Yes... because aq is messing around in their backgarden (=chechniya) too. Basically its about control over an oil pipeline that is parralel to the baku - adana one.

Only real difference is that the MOAB begun its life as an 'engineering tool' and this one is from day 0 what it says on the package: a big flying can of flammable liquids. Also, the MOAB is deliverred by a slow Herc, while the russian one fits in the Tu-160 (that can do Mach 1 at low altitude)

True, but a bomb that size will not be dropped at Mach one. Looking at that video, it is not all that aerodynamic looking. Even a TU-160 will have to go at Herc speeds because if he does not, the bomb will only have exited a few inches before it hits the air stream and is then ripped out of the belly of the aircraft, taking large bits of aircraft with it.
