yeah, the MOAB doesn't seems very strong. Don't get me wrong it is sure to put a hurting on whom ever gets hit with this, but it just doesn't seem to stand upto the FOAB.
I would love to know what is the point of having something like this we are not fighting space aliens or something -.- so many damn weapons in todays time then we wonder why it's so much violence.
In WW2 the British invented built and used a 22,000Lb bomb, thats 2 tons heavier. It was lifted by a Lancaster Bomber and was very effective. It needed only to get near a target to flatten it. BTW it would have taken 2 B-17's to lift the same bomb.
Trust me, that was no 8 kiloton explosion. If my dog knew how to use a zippo, he could naturally produce an explosion equal to or greater than 8 kiloton's.
There was a non-nuclear bomb, although it did use off the shelf nuclear components, with a blast that trumps anything ever built before. It was so big its power had to be cut by 50% just so the pilot could escape the blast radius. It's called Ivan a.k.a. Tsar Bomba. The fucking Russians are crazy.
I could build a larger and heavier Bomb by putting a firecracker into a freight-container and fill it up with sand... :-) The size and weight of a bomb doesn't matter. The Russian "Father of All Bombs" is far more powerful than this thing and weighs less.
good idea for a bomb... 18K pound bomb with 6 smaller 2K LB bombs hitting at about the same time, with a slight difference so that the target is sandwiched between 7 shockwaves, compressing target and doing such damage that it would get small, then expand shooting outwards.... i have to much time on my hands, i think about ideas for bombs all day, like a tank round that has a net that expands after launch made of C4... with magnets on the tip of the net so it sticks to another tank, then...BANG!
@AKAtheA Are you retarded? The WEIGHT of the bomb is 18,000lbs, but the YIELD is 8 kilo tons...BIG difference. We're talking about explosives.The yield is the amount of energy released, not the weight of the bomb itself.The difference betweeen this and the atomic bombs from WW2 are the much larger EM pulse and the radiation given off. These days we have nuclear weapons that are no bigger than a suitcase but have a YIELD (there's that word again) that surpasses that of Hiroshima/Nagasaki.
@MolonLabe1000 "The 21,700-pound [9,500 kilogram] bomb contains 18,700 pounds of H6, an explosive that is a mixture of RDX (Cyclotrimethylene trinitramine), TNT, and aluminum." global security org This is not an 8 kiloton blast. 8 kt is equal to 8000 tons of TNT. that 16,000,000 kilos of TNT or 35,200,000 pounds of TNT.
@MolonLabe1000 8 kilotons? Are you out of your fucking mind? The MOAB contains 18,700 lb (8.5 t) of the H6 explosive, which is 1.35 times as powerful as TNT, giving the bomb an approximate yield of 0.011 kt.
8 kilotons is a LARGE tactical nuclear weapon. I can't believe the top comment refers to the MOAB as an 8 kiloton equivalent. That's batshit crazy.
@Valyn66 i agree with you but 8 kilotons it a pretty small nuclear device about the same as hiroshima, 8 megatons on the other hand is probaly a normal sized nuclear missle now a days. the largest ever was 54 mega tons i belive
@MolonLabe1000 You are right that, when talking about "yield" we are not referring to the weight of the bomb, but it's explosive power. For nuclear weapons this is a figure given in kilo or megatonnes. HOWEVER, an 8 kilotonne Nuclear weapon is one with the same explosive force as a bomb made of TNT which WEIGHED 8 kilotonnes. So, for non nuclear weapons the weight and yield are very similar. (Some explosives have slightly higher yield than TNT but not much)
@MolonLabe1000 Exactly. Recall the russian made Tsar Bomba, The worlds largest ever detonated, Nuclear Bomb, was no larger than the hiroshima explosion, yet yielded about 50 megatons. The blast was so large that people felt the blast field over 170 miles away. Holy shit right? This thing caused third-degree burns even 65 miles from the detonation point... This thing broke glass at 560 miles away! It was the Most Physically Poweful Device Ever Created By Humanity.
The new MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) weighs 30,000 lbs, almost double the weight as the MOAB "Mother of all bombs". Perhaps they named it too soon....
It would'e been cool if the video extended longer until we could hear the shock wave. From that, we could have calculated the distance...which would give a clearer idea of the size of the exsplosion.
No that's not even the MOAB. The bomb dropped by parachute and airburst to a mushroom cloud. The mushroom cloud can be seen in the Tora Bora video after drop.
18 000 pounds -> 8164.66 kg... so thats 0.00816466 kilotons... a single plane has no friggin' chance of lifting 8 000 tons...that's a normal sized cargo-train...
@AKAtheA Yeah, 8.164 tons is 8 tons and 164 Kg.....any cargo plane can lift that. The kiloton figure is the yield of the device, I don't know if that information is correct or not so I'm not gonna say anything about the yield. However, I was just pointing out that you were wrong saying that no plane can lift this bomb.....
*Sigh* since when there are so many "scientists" on YouTube? Go away & do something else instead of sitting at your computers debating with people you don't even know.
@coolwave9119 good, now were getting somewhere... and now: do you honestly think that a non-nuclear bomb weighing a measly 8.164t has the equivalent explosive power of 8 000t of TNT?
@coolwave9119 watch?v=351zid4NHKI tests n. 1&2 are 1kt, test 3 is 30kt, test 4 is 20kt...(all are nuclear)...note blinding light and massive shockwave...it's quite difficult to find an above ground test of a 8kt device, but I think this gives an ilustration of what 1kt of TNT means...
No matter how advanced, conventional explosives just can not do that(in size that a plane can carry)...the description is simply wrong...
@coolwave9119 -.- does that bomb, they are very far away, look anywhere close to 8.164 tons. no, didn't think so. I don't need a paragraph to show how dumb you are xD.
@xXDMXxjake Dear sir, 8.164 tons = 8 tons and 164 Kg, now tell me how did you judge the weight of something based on your observation? (By eyes only WOW) +.+ just when do people realize that I'm using a. but not a , when I say 8.164 tons. Also, get your writing right cuz I was like "what the fuck this guy wanna say?" :)) And yes I don't need a paragraph to show how dumb you are, you just shown your stupidity to the world
@Egoguitar1 silly Americans, can none of you read?
For the 4th time: the description says 8 kilotons...that would be 8,000 tons, which is 17,637,000 pounds...now, I'm pretty damn sure, that no plane in existence can carry that...
@AKAtheA Hey Czech kid, can you READ? The yield of the bomb is 8 Kilo tons... the weight is 18,000 lbs. Do you only understand metric? Even so, you need to use common sense before you go pissing off the country that actually OWNS this large bomb. Czech Republic can only dream of having our superior fire power. Regardless, have a nice day knowing we will protect you from Iran, Serbia, Russia, N. Korea, etc...
@Egoguitar1 1) Go see what it looks like when 8 000 000 kg or 17 637 000 pounds worth of explosive decide to detonate...the bomb does not have that kind yield...since it's NOT NUCLEAR!
2) Read the description, than my comment...repeat until you realize the point of the comment...
3) You mean like how the US (or any "western" state) protected us from Hitler in 1938? Or communism in 1948? Or the Soviet invasion in 1968? The US did jack shit to protect us, and will do exactly the same...
@AKAtheA OK, regardless of what the bomb yields, it'll wipe out all in it's path. You complain the U.S. didn't help you in 1938, '48, '68? You're not speaking German or Russian now are you? Obviously we had a role in preventing that. By the way, just be glad we're not dropping these on your country. This conversation is over.
@Egoguitar1 well, Russian was mandatory in schools back then, the same goes for Marxism-Lenninsm, so your comment is rather invalid...
As for the German - during the occupation, not speaking German was a BIG minus, us not speaking it has to with Hitler being a narcistic asshole, if he had won the war, there'd definitely be more spoken German here...
Aaaand, unless you haven't noticed, the US only into war AFTER the attack on Pearl Harbor, before that they were in no hurry to fight anyone...
@AKAtheA.........MY POINT EXACTLY: IF HITLER WON THE WAR, YOU WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN. AND WHO ENDED THAT GERMAN REIGN OF TERROR? THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Anyway, It's been interesting talking with you, and I would continue if you actually had a point. And yes, we will protect your little country from the big bad Russian, Germans, and whoever else you fear. WE ARE DONE HERE, GOODBYE.
@TibGaming Read. The. Fucking. Description. An 11 ton non-nuclear device cannot have a yield of 8 kilo tons (thats 8 000 000 kg WORTH, as in equivalent to that much TNT, not weighing that much).
Now, did I make this stupid enough or do I have to go even lower?
@AKAtheA The yield is NOT 8 kilotons. Judging by wikipedia and sevral other sites, the weight of the bomb itself is roughly 8 tons and the yield is the equivalent to 11 tons of TNT.
@TibGaming now that is interesting...can read an wiki article, yet still can't READ THE DESCRIPTION of the video...that's the 7th one in about a week...what are the odds?
@TibGaming it it was non-nuclear and had a proclaimed yield of 8 kilotons, than no...but since the MOAB contains at most 8.48t tons of explosive and the whole thing is about 11 tons, then yes, it does fit in several planes...
@AKAtheA No it wasn't. You really can't stand to be wrong, can you? You never once mentioned that the descripton is wrong. All you were moaning is that the bomb weighed a number you pulled out of your ass.
who cares if the russians have a bigger bomb. are bombs are and have always been more precise. we can take out something surgically (most of the time) and the ruskis compensate by building a bigger bomb that takes everything out inclusive of the target and everything outside it
VERY wrong description. "it is only about one thousandth the power of Little Boy, the atomic bomb used against Hiroshima. The MOAB's blast is equivalent to around 11 tons of TNT, whereas the Hiroshima blast was equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT"
NATO used a large thermobaric bomb (called the nuclear bomb of the poor) in Bani Walid which killed all live within 2 square meteres by burning or suffocate. A family hiding in a shell proof basement has no chance. 1200 deaths was the result. Details. algeria-isp. com/actualites/politique-libye/201110-A6546/libye-otan-utilise-une-bombe-fae-fuel-air-explosive-surnommee-bombe-atomique-pauvre-bani-walid-octobre-2011.html
thanks ! sorry - mistake - it is 2 square KILO metres of course. 1.4 x 1.4 km
Meanwhile I heard that also in Sirte NATO had used serveral and various weapons of mass destruction. And 22.000 deaths were reported.
No wonder - only a few alive NATO rebels remained after months of "final attacks".
To reach their goal to install their puppet government, they had no other possibility to provide a massacre. A war crime nobody knows, is no war crime.
They used 22000 lb bombs in world war 2. Why then was there such hype about this moab when it first came out? I guess maybe now with precision guidance system this size bomb worthy of some new interest.
Estimates vary but the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan (a.k.a. little boy) had a yield of 13 to 18 kilotons not 10 kilotons as the description states.
Russia has a much larger bomb. Also, this thing is nowhere even in the neighborhood of the destructive force of Little Boy. Still a damn scary bomb though.
@Sephiroth139 Still not the biggest non nuclear bomb ever used though. That title goes to the British Grand Slam bomb designed by the late and great Sir Barnes Wallis :)
@flounderal The Grand Slam is bigger at 22,000 pounds but its explosion is less. On top of that they are 2 completely different bombs with different rolls in warfare.
@AurorusTech listen AssFace, i dont know who in the hell you are or where in the hell you come from butt trust me i would so gladly use GPS positioning systmes etc to drop a MOAB right ontop of your head. Thats on TOPIC jackoff now get the fuck out of this THREAD and dont ever come back because someone cant read the COMMENT SECTION without adding a BICKERING over BICKERING. What you think you can control the bicker tithead ? the bicker controls you. Look its pressuring me to MOAB you.
@meskens93 You're right, the bomb hit at 0:43 and no sound is heard for at least 25 seconds. Taking the speed of sound in air to be around 340 m/s and using d = s*t that explosion is at least 8.5 km away. That means it IS seriously fucking big!
@Speedless73 I thought the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was about 13kt...and Hiroshima about 7kt. Nagasaki-plutonium....Hiroshima-Uranium. Either way, the conversion is spot on.
@Speedless73 Ok, my figures were scewed down. Its been close to 10 years since I looked closely at the yields. I knew Nagasaki was significantly bigger. (considering they made the plutonium the hard way with massive expence in time and money, it better have been bigger) And yeah, just a few times bigger than the moab, though the moad is a nasty toy to go bump in the night.
Russia and china are to much of pussies to come invade America you want to know why, because with our satellites that we have in the air it will detect any thing that comes our way, we will look at it and say hey that's china or hey that's Russia, and you want to know whats going to happen BOOM, we now just sent of a nuke that killed all of them before they even came close to touch America, so fuck of you communist pieces of shit, we will bankrupt Russia once again.
yeah, the MOAB doesn't seems very strong. Don't get me wrong it is sure to put a hurting on whom ever gets hit with this, but it just doesn't seem to stand upto the FOAB.

@Egoguitar1 1) Go see what it looks like when 8 000 000 kg or 17 637 000 pounds worth of explosive decide to detonate...the bomb does not have that kind yield...since it's NOT NUCLEAR!
2) Read the description, than my comment...repeat until you realize the point of the comment...
3) You mean like how the US (or any "western" state) protected us from Hitler in 1938? Or communism in 1948? Or the Soviet invasion in 1968? The US did jack shit to protect us, and will do exactly the same...
AKAtheA 2 months ago
@AKAtheA OK, regardless of what the bomb yields, it'll wipe out all in it's path. You complain the U.S. didn't help you in 1938, '48, '68? You're not speaking German or Russian now are you? Obviously we had a role in preventing that. By the way, just be glad we're not dropping these on your country. This conversation is over.
Egoguitar1 2 months ago
@Egoguitar1 well, Russian was mandatory in schools back then, the same goes for Marxism-Lenninsm, so your comment is rather invalid...
As for the German - during the occupation, not speaking German was a BIG minus, us not speaking it has to with Hitler being a narcistic asshole, if he had won the war, there'd definitely be more spoken German here...
Aaaand, unless you haven't noticed, the US only into war AFTER the attack on Pearl Harbor, before that they were in no hurry to fight anyone...
AKAtheA 2 months ago
@AKAtheA.........MY POINT EXACTLY: IF HITLER WON THE WAR, YOU WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN. AND WHO ENDED THAT GERMAN REIGN OF TERROR? THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Anyway, It's been interesting talking with you, and I would continue if you actually had a point. And yes, we will protect your little country from the big bad Russian, Germans, and whoever else you fear. WE ARE DONE HERE, GOODBYE.

@AKAtheA The MOAB itself weighs 11 tons you bloody idiot. A standard C-130 is the perfect aircraft for the job (As seen above in the video)
TibGaming 2 months ago
@TibGaming Read. The. Fucking. Description. An 11 ton non-nuclear device cannot have a yield of 8 kilo tons (thats 8 000 000 kg WORTH, as in equivalent to that much TNT, not weighing that much).
Now, did I make this stupid enough or do I have to go even lower?
AKAtheA 2 months ago
@AKAtheA The yield is NOT 8 kilotons. Judging by wikipedia and sevral other sites, the weight of the bomb itself is roughly 8 tons and the yield is the equivalent to 11 tons of TNT.

@TibGaming it it was non-nuclear and had a proclaimed yield of 8 kilotons, than no...but since the MOAB contains at most 8.48t tons of explosive and the whole thing is about 11 tons, then yes, it does fit in several planes...

@TibGaming And to add to that, the 1945 bombs were the equivalent of 15 to 20 THOUSAND tons of TNT.

@Spike20TRILLION War isn't as glorious as you seem to think it is.
The people, many of them innocent, would run and cry when they saw your plane overhead.
When the blast rocked your jet, you would say to yourself, "what have I just done?" and spend the rest of your life in therapy.

who cares if the russians have a bigger bomb. are bombs are and have always been more precise. we can take out something surgically (most of the time) and the ruskis compensate by building a bigger bomb that takes everything out inclusive of the target and everything outside it

NATO used a large thermobaric bomb (called the nuclear bomb of the poor) in Bani Walid which killed all live within 2 square meteres by burning or suffocate. A family hiding in a shell proof basement has no chance. 1200 deaths was the result.

thanks ! sorry - mistake - it is 2 square KILO metres of course. 1.4 x 1.4 km
Meanwhile I heard that also in Sirte NATO had used serveral and various weapons of mass destruction. And 22.000 deaths were reported.
No wonder - only a few alive NATO rebels remained after months of "final attacks".
To reach their goal to install their puppet government, they had no other possibility to provide a massacre. A war crime nobody knows, is no war crime.

They used 22000 lb bombs in world war 2. Why then was there such hype about this moab when it first came out? I guess maybe now with precision guidance system this size bomb worthy of some new interest.

Speedless73 4 months ago
@Speedless73 Ok, my figures were scewed down. Its been close to 10 years since I looked closely at the yields. I knew Nagasaki was significantly bigger. (considering they made the plutonium the hard way with massive expence in time and money, it better have been bigger) And yeah, just a few times bigger than the moab, though the moad is a nasty toy to go bump in the night.
