  • not a good day for beeina an fiberglass guy

  • Why waste perfectly good mannequins when the likes of the members of Al Qaeda and Taliban are available. Capture em', stake em' out on a test range, and there you have it ... Mannequins saved !!! I think I'll write a letter to the Secretary of Defense and see what he thinks of my idea. I personally like it.

  • @ReneeNme sicko

  • 4:23

  • You morons realize how much Russian's lie about their military tech, the simply don't have the resources to invest is such advanced technology.

  • OOOH FOAB beats MOAB OHHH soooo scary america gets pissed and launches nuke... argument over... its kinda true tho if bush was still president...

  • >:O! you can see the wave hit the body, it makes a distortion in the air....awesome!

  • the makers of this bomb seem so proud of making somthing that could be used to kill their children....

  • @fahed79 lib...

  • @tony2tone1985

    sorry but no idea what that means

  • Silly weapon. C130 is SAM or AAA fodder.

  • Totally silly weapon. If an enemy target is big enough and important enough to warrant this bomb, the target is going to be too hot to fly an old C130 over it. You'd need total air superiority and to have spent time destroying any SAMs or AAA which would eat the Hercules.

  • NUC 'UUU'  LAR babyy

  • M.O.A.B. = Mother of all bombs 

  • For Christ sakes just use a nuke, if your gonna make weapons like that, this weapons is good for nothing other than mass destruction.

  • @Deathlordtwo nuclear weapons leave nuclear fall, which will the leave the land uninhabital for hundreds of years, just like chernobyl, this causes nearly as much destruction, yet is easier to make, and a hell of a lot cheaper

  • this is a terrorist weapon.

  • Certain individuals should learn to pronounce 'nuclear' correctly.

  • Comment removed

  • True there

  • Makes you wonder.. Who are the real terrorists?

  • stupid people creating useless weapons.

  • no, people looking to one up the neighbors, and create a psychological weapon.

  • so the daisy cutter is so no more?

  • no it won't. it creates an outward shockwave so the people in the bunker would be knocked out/killed, not sucked out of the vents.

  • MOAB = Mother Of All Bombs , jas ?

  • yeah

  • they where sooo thinking that but so they didnt look silly they said it meant massive ordinance air blast haha mother of all bombs

  • wow that was impressive

  • I though that is fuel air bomb :D

  • in C&C Generals, its not massive ordinance air blast, its mobile ordinance air burst, oor mother of all bombs =P

  • i still like carpet bombings, the most devastating part of which was not the shrapnel or the shock wave but all of the shock waves so close together would cause static storms that would destroy everything... i like the science behind it more then i support it

  • haha yea its like the U.S. military is saying that if you fight back, we're gonna drop this motherfucker on your ass

  • Drop thwhole inventory on or around pirates home towns or bay of somolia, hey? bomb'em

  • ok, umm, are you insulting me in some odd way or agreeing with me?

  • not insult... Saying although these are expensive lets use the ones we got on the worthless pirates and their parents parents

  • well MAYBE dropping a smaller bomb on them, but not MOAB. thats a bit much

  • After a few years nobody would even remember. Like japan Hiroshima city or Yagasaki or wherever that was. Who cares anymore? Get rid of our bombs. Nuke and other. Bomb all central africa.

  • first of all, learn to spell. its Nagasaki ya dumbass. and if nobody would remember, how come the exact bombings that you had just stated are still talked about and remembered to this day by 90% of the United States' population? you are completely and totally wrong my friend, or maybe i should say foe at this point.

  • hey douchebag! so why do you think you have a good enough reason to call me a faggot about my comment that was just stating the fact and truth?

  • I am very concerned about stopping these idiot pirates. A ground strike is very desireable. I condone MOAB Like hiroshima even da japs now know it was very good x 2.

  • but that doesn't mean that you can just come outta know where and say bomb all central africa. what reasoning ya got for that?

  • I Like northern African countries and the more civilized south africa, So I meant hit the equatorial region. begining with Somolia since they totaly suck

  • Why Africa??? Just get rid off all bombs...

  • yeah but this is not even close as intimidating as the nuclear bomb which we already have quite a bit of..so why create a weaker weapon for intimidation...

  • maybe you should do some research on nuclear weapons, im not insulting you but there are alot of reprocussions that come to nuclear weapons.

  • excuse my ignorance, but isn't this a vacuum bomb?

  • yep.

  • no, it's sonic blast / shock wave

  • I wonder about the authors claim of "the moab played its part on bringing down Sudam without ever being used." Not to pick a fight but the timeline given was 6 Days AFTER the invasion (or whatever term you prefer) began. 6 days of mostly unapposed military advancement and massive losses to his army.

    2. The author claims a bomp test in Florida, USA helped caused a dictator in Asia to surrender? 3 DAYS after it was tested.

  • I love how, despite his expert sounding narration, he still says 'nucular'

  • Maybe he went to school with Dubya.

  • i guess that doesnt look nice with a real human -.-

  • its fiberglass so it shatters instead of bending or breaking in a single place, a human would just have massive internal organ damage

  • russian FAOB is lighter and better

  • Russians pose absolutely no military threat to the world. FOAB might produce a more powerful explosion; however cost of production makes the FOAB far inferior to the much cheaper, and just as effective MOAB.

  • @lepricoun

    It was also made AFTER the moab. Thats what russians try to do all the time. They wait for US to innovate an idea and then steal it and try to make it better The same with the japanese. Trust me, there are bombs much bigger than the moab in the u.s. arsenal that NO ONE knows about.

  • @lepricoun

    Where is the grand "Da" of all bombs?

  • they have to keep making these weapons to control the population of mexicans

  • Why do people have to make those Fuckin'  weapons? Do they promote terrorism, killing ?

    NONSENCE

  • Its suppose to kill stupid!

  • Actually these bombs are made to reduce violence, killing, and terrorism. They serve their purpose even without being used. As the video says, the real weapon is the intimidation factor and scare tactics to force a surrender, or deter a resistance. And that's also why the US and Russia have tens of thousands of nukes that they haven't used. Do they really need that many? No, but it's there for safety and to ensure mutually assured destruction if one country nukes the other. A perfect deterrent.

  • it looks like a windmill with the fins

  • OK and the Russian Vacuum Bomb? F.O.A.B. that is a bomb

  • [idiot voice] heheheh killin iz gewd.

  • hydrogen bomb is more powerful than a nuke learn to spell

  • A hydrogen bomb *is* a nuke

  • Comment removed

  • sorry like around 1:11....when it goes off

  • Comment removed

  • They need some fake buildings next to the explosion so you can actually get a sense of scale with this thing. It doesnt look like that big of a blast but it is.

  • I can't fucking believe this guy . . .you would think that with all his expertise, all his knowledge of weaponry, and the physics that make up the action of these weapons, he would fucking know that It's NU-CLE-AR, not NU-KYUL-AR. God DAMN! There's not much that pisses me off so in this world, as much as when someone FUCKING says "nukyular" GRRRRRRR!!!!! Fucking George Bush, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR COUNTRY?!?!?!

    Say it with me now: NU-CLEAR. That's it folks, not hard to say. Nu-clear. Damn.

  • IT'S NUCLEAR dumb ass, say it right if your hosting a weapons show.

  • ARGHHHHHHHH its nuclear not NOOKYULAR!!!!!

  • maybe we should drop a few of these around the world..in various places, just to get their attention...

  • yeah. i would drop hundreds

  • But FOAB owns even this

  • good thing the russians are incompetent or we might be in trouble

  • Even though The legitimacy of Russia's ATBIP or "FOAB" has been called into question many times by many countries especially the US and Britain

  • And everyone says. Who needs bombs when you can have nukes. God. People just do not understand. Nuclear warfare is like crossing a threshold. When that threshold is crossed, nothing is sensible OR sane anymore.

  • Yup. God help us all if a nuke is ever used again in war. the world will be flattened and i would guess 90% of life on earth would be gone

  • Not flattened. Just devoid of life.

  • It's hard to make things flat with a bomb that will crater the ground while destroying everything in range.

  • more money should be spent on finding cool, faster, more efficient ways to kill. That'll make people LOVE the US.

  • That IS the problem with the US. Everything is spent on defence. Did you know that more money was spent researching the nintento wii than the US put into education in 2006? The USA has the most modern army in the world. You do NOT need to upgrade every damn motherfucking gun in the arsenal.

  • yeah, but it doesnt matter who has the most modern army today, because "terrorists" or paramilitaries will get this modern weapons too ;)

  • I fully agree with you buddy. my comment was very very sarcastic. The American empire is crumbling, like every great empire throughout history. Sooner or later the US will finally succomb to the pressures of being so overextended in foreign affairs and neglecting necessary domestic policies....

  • Show me a civilization that hasn't had it's fair share of domestic/foreign issues. Hate a little less, that would go farther in making peace in the world than griping about shit every country does: spending money on their military.

  • You're right, but the Industrial Military Complex isn't exactly concerned with frugality, or social concerns.

  • Sorry, pal. but the US is tied with Switzerland for the most money spent per student on education at 11,000 USD per year. Just because the education budget is proportionally smaller than the defense budget, doesn't mean it's a small amount of money. The defense budget is over 700 BILLION a year, even 10% of that is a hell of a lot of goddamn money. Get your facts straight.

  • BOOM!!!

  • How much "normal" bombs do you get for one MOAB ? Wouldnt it be cheaper and easyer to send a B52 with a shitload of normal bombs and flatten .. we.. whatever :)

  • not really easier, you have to load all those bombs onto the b52, then fuel the b52 which in itself is expensive

  • "i live in a trailer"

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHA

    also, the fact that they surrendered 3 days after the test has nothing to do with the bomb....

  • Ezzel a bombával csak az a baj, hogy akkorák a méretei, hogy simán le lehet lőni...

  • :D:D

  • This didn't do shit in Iraq. It's not like they knew or cared about it.

  • My mo's the MOAB

    Mother

    of

    all

    Butts!!

  • moab aka mother of all bombs

  • 5:21

    That's an awesome statement.

  • ha they steal this idea from Command & Conquer! ;D

  • made before Command & Conquer

  • haha

  • cnc got the idea from that bomb.... omg

  • Mother. Of. All. Bombs.

  • I'm sure the Tsar Bomba is the mother xD

  • (non nuclear/hydrogen) bombs =]

  • For all the people who keep saying; "it's not the biggest bomb anymore", or "Russia has a better one."

    WHO GIVES A FUCK!

    YES WE ALREADY KNOW AFTER THE 100TH TIME SO STOP FUCKING GLOATING!!!

    It's amazing how all of these "weapons experts" come out of knowhere, sheesh.

  • @battlecorps

    Butthurt? BTW I never claimed to be a weapon expert nor was I gloating in any way. Also some people may give a fuck, although I don't care if they don't.

  • My comment wasn't entirely directed to you, relax.

  • Yeah I know, but it was just that it was positioned directly above mine, so I felt the need to address it. =)

    When I posted my comment I honestly just wanted to correct outdated information that was in the video.

  • It's all good =)

  • Not the biggest anymore.

  • he says this helped ended iraq gulf war?

    psychologically ..

    serious?? i really doubt it.

  • All that Money so bunch of Engineers can make a stupid name----MOAB----shit one ADM could do 10 x that explosion with 6.5 lbs of very warm Metal very Deadly metal...made at Hanford ,,Washington State..Nuclear labs

  • shut up chuck norris is g*y ..

  • What would the child you were, think of the grown-up you've become?

    When I grow up, I wanna be a mass murderer.

  • drop one on africa

  • thumbs down.

  • is it really necessary to put a GPS system into it, even if you miss it by 20m, you still destroy the target.

    must cost ALOT of money!

  • NOTHING CAN KILL OMBAMA!

  • Chuck Norris

  • Hmm i forgot Chuck Norris. Nothing can stop Chuck Norris. I heard that he chews bees so he doesn't have to buy honey.

  • Did you know he has labels on his eye lids

    "Do not stare directly into,may cause spontainus combustion"

  • When Chuck Norris wants an egg, he cracks open a chicken.

  • Question is : Russian one may be bigger ,but is it optimised for a maximum blast effect?

  • @nordistelillois: From what I've heard it's about 4 times as powerful as this one.

    MOAB=11t of TNT, destr.radius: 150m (Explosive charge: 8200kg)

    FOAB=44t of TNT, destr.radius: 300m (Explosive charge: 7100kg)

    So not only is it lighter, but also immensely more powerful.

  • I don't think power is that so important .

    The only way to see this weapon in action is by using a C-130... and if u are able to use this plane = opponents are in a bad mood since a while ^^.

    (just imagine this type of weapon with some AC 130 gunships .... pure FIREPOWER ORGY ^^)

    In fact , who cares about "who s got the biggest bomb?' ,except of those who are targeted ? ^^

  • Thank you

  • The Russians claim its 4 times more powerful, but experts examining the footage and stats of the bomb say that at best it is only 50% more powerful, not 400%.

  • That's a very real possibility and I had the feeling that it wasn't as powerful as claimed. 50% isn't too bad though :/

  • ya but the us will still kick the shit out of finland faster than you can talk shit about our bombs. And fuck the foad we would hand russia it's ass too.

  • Wow, relax dude. I never said your bombs were shit. Stop putting words into my mouth.

  • Should drop one of those on Redditch

  • russia may have made a bigger 1, but is it non-nuclear?

  • Russia has made a bigger one.

  • That HAS to hurt.

  • russian has a better one

  • Russia*

  • No, Russia has a BIGGER one, but is it a better one?? * Keyword: better*

  • Yes.

  • no it a ground impact bomb which mean it 30is percent less effective than the MOAB. the enegry goes into the ground and not the target.

  • What it is able to hit does not gauge its power.

  • inform me about the better bomb. no it cant be nuclear.

  • wow!!!awesome BomB!!!!

  • drivel! really so the iraquis were all glued to the tv...saw the big bomb and decided to give up...i mean p..lease!

  • Iraq didnt surrender because of the MOAB. thats bullshit, they surrendered because of overwhelming defeat.

  • they never surrendered America lost the war

  • not the biggest bomb in the world anymore lol, russia beat it with the FOAB =) FOR MOTHER RUSSIA! lol

  • What kind of enemy is Iraq that they are still fighting the terrorist invaders! In 1920 a poet said; God relies on believers courage and Satan relies on machines of Europe/West. How true, that even today Americans think they can suppress people with bigger and better weapons.

  • MOAB produces the largest blast wave without nuclear energy. MOAB is not a bunker buster. It explodes above the ground charging the air utilizing the air to create a blast wave. Someonegetsteve is right the Russinas did not drop large bombs instead they used limited chemical, biological and nuclear weapons to destroy target civilians. They also raped, tortured and permanently injured women and children. They did not build schools, drill freshwaterwells, restore/provide electric and build roads.

  • i thought it stood for "mother of all bombs" lol

  • It does

  • it stands for mass ordenance air burst.

  • that... or Mother Of All Bombs =D

  • no the russian have more stronger none-nuclear bomb.i dont know they name but its a vaccum bomb.

  • Its called F.O.A.B (Father of all bombs)

  • why no closed captioned in here

  • RAF's Grandslam bomb 22,000lb was used in WWII against u-boat pens with 9 meter thick reinforced concrete walls... and what about Tsar Bomba? Anyway the US used MOAB against Taliban positions in Afghanistan full of kid soldiers for f** sake, even the russians never actually dropped their big**s vacuum bombs on anyone.

  • The Taliban is composed of terrorists not soldiers. They do not wear uniforms, have no sworn allegiance to any country and do not fight on the field of battle. They hide behind masks, live in caves like rats and hide behind children and women and religion. They do not believe in the sanctity of life. As for the 22,000 pound bomb it blew up underground and is a fragmentation bomb. MOAB is a blast munition, hence the name Munition Ordinance Air Blast. It charges the air to create a blast wave.

  • the end makes no sense if iraq surrendered why we still over there fighting them? can anyone tell me that one?

  • were fighting insurgents not really the actual country the country did surrender so now were fighting terrorists but idk y, its like fighting cockroaches ur nevr going to be able to kill them all

  • because terrorism can never be stopped completely

  • because im tha man

  • That's a c130 Hercules they're launching off of. The C5 is a MASSIVE plane, much larger, also jet powered.

  • ALLRIGHT WHO DROPPED THE BOMB? lol

  • brittish WWII Block Buster bomb, was bigger than MOAB it's weights 11 tn, and was carried by modified lancaster heavy bomber, lancaster is bigger than C 130. and also russian vacuum bomb is bigger and more powerful, they erase a small village used for the test

  • the block buster bombs were usually around 12000 pounds the largest being 22000 which is still 600 pounds less, but they were basically just conventional bombs the moab is not it has a much bigger blast. just 4 your info. but yeah the russian vacuum bomb is pretty much a larger version of this one

  • i know that MOAB is powerful than any convencional bomb, i only refer to size, and i don't know exactly weight of MOAB but just see the pictures, grand slam bomb is bigger (in size) than MOAB

  • im a huge bomb

  • Actually, now that I think about it I believe the aircraft that should be used is the C5 Galaxy!

  • Why don't we use some of these in IRAQ, now? I would bet if we sent in a squadron of B-52's loaded to the gills with these things and wiped out one or more of there strategic strongholds in one pass I think we would be able to bring our boys home a lot sooner!
