Description:
The MOAB is 30 feet, 1.75 inches (9.17 m) long, has a diameter of 40.5 inches (102.9 cm) and weighs 22,600 lb (10.3 tonnes) (of which 18,700 lb (8.5 tonnes) are high explosives.) Its blast radius is 450 feet (137.16 m, 150 yd), though the massive shockwave created by the air burst is said to be able to destroy an area as large as nine city blocks. Due to its large size and weight, it must be dropped out of the back of a cargo aircraft (usually a C-130). It is guided by global positioning technology and uses a parachute to pull it out of the cargo door, so it can be dropped from a higher altitude and with higher accuracy than its predecessor, the BLU-82. It is the first U.S. weapon to use Russian-style lattice control surfaces (referred to as "Belotserkovskiy grid fins"),[5] like those used on the R-400 Oka and Vympel R-77. It is larger than the Grand Slam bomb of World War II.

I thought MOAB was Mother Of All Bombs lol

Edit: I searched it up & it seems like it's both Mother Of All Bombs & Massive Ordinance Air Blast lol. They should've put it in MW2 yeah but just because I think that, doesn't mean I'll +rep you..

Mother Of All Bombs was used in ealyer warfare up till around the 1960's (atomic bombs) but now nukes are the most powerful so they arent the MOAB any more, in simple terms mother of all bombs ceased to be after 1960's and was replaced by a more powerful bomb/missile/warhead

MOAB is also Massive Ordinance Air Blast or Massive Ordinance Air Bombardment

depending if you are navy (bombardment) or army/air force (blast)


massive = big, ordinece = ammunition, air = sky, blast = big boom, bombardment = continues blasts/bombs/missiles


the bomb in that video is not a mother of all bombs its frowned apon to use atomic or nuclear orinence even for testing and can start wars

wicked , you know i have one of those at my house so dont piss me off

Don't ask for rep, some people will -rep you for asking for it.

alright.thanks for the advice.
