The MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS (MOAB) is test dropped from a C-130 Hercules over Eglin AFB, Florida, just prior to the onset of hostilities in Iraq in 2003. We definately need more of these...

  • It seems that what I just witnessed was an aeroplane taking a shit.....

  • i worked on that MC-130E.

  • @NickPuleio I suppose I could say the same for you. I mean, considering that you brought up a comment 3 years old to tell me that I'm somehow being pretentious when all i did was post the correct definition of the acronym in effort to contrast the popular misinformation on YT.

  • The Ruskies made something called the "Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power" which is also the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the world

  • @mbcNOOFS To be honest if you know that then you know that a common nickname for the MOAB is Mother of all Bombs because its the most powerful non nuclear weapon.

    And lets be honest if you know that they you are just being pretentious by posting that.

  • hell yea, impersonalsniper, i was in the area when they dropped it, it was awesome. lot ppl in the nwf area at first thought it was a nuke test

    

  • @ClancD it's massive, you should see it in person

  • Because it's awesome! :D

  • and we need to develop bombs like this because...??

  • @wiseguy5125 Yeah... It's too big to be dropped like a normal bomb, cargo planes like the C-130 shown in the video are the only things capable of carrying it.

    It weighs over 22,000 lbs, has a 300 yard blast diameter, and can destroy an area the size of nine city blocks. It's equivalent in explosive power to a small tactical nuclear weapon.
