It reportedly weighs ‘just 15,560lbs and is packed with the equivalent to 44 tons of explosive TNT’, giving it roughly four times the yield of America’s massive ordinance air blast weapon (MOAB) or Mother Of All Bombs. The Russian version is being called the Father Of All Bombs and there are those claiming that it was used last week in Syria against an ISIS target.
That’s nothing. Kim Un has the MFOAB.
Feeling froggy? Let’s just start dropping all of them, you know you want to do it or you wouldn’t have made it, you’ll feel better when you do.
Oh, shit.
Bashir Assad will get the blame … or Geo. W. Bush … depends on which talking head is telling the lies that day.
44 kiloTon – ain’t that over twice the Hiroshima yield?
izlamo delenda est …
They’re going to need a lot of them if they’re using to kill only 36; perhaps they are just sending a strong message.
44,000 tons? I don’t think so.

Love or hate the Russian politics in the last century, ya gotta hand it to the Russians when they want to go big. AND they’re not afraid to use what they have. No PC, no whiny freaks, they just freakin’ kill whom they even suspect is contrary to their interests.
We have a problem. Their political balls are bigger than ours.
How ’bout a bass attack?
44 thousand cans of Right Guard outta do the trick!

Damn autocorrect!!!n
They should try one of these out on a forming hurricane to disrupt the surrounding air currents.
Call it a hurricane buster.
Tsunami, that is way they fought the Sharknadoes in the movies.
Zilla,
Never watched those movies. Never will.
Use a FOAB when you want ’em to FOAD.
All this is hype, there is no photographic record of this drop? How about before and after pictures? t this point, they are shoveling horse droppings.
Here we go again,
Uncle Sam and Ivan both shouting “mine’s bigger than yours”.
High quality video helps the cost/benefit analysis.
they just steal or copy our shit anyway.
So why aren’t we cooperating with Russia to bomb the crap out of these Muslims again?
Oh! There are supposedly good Muslims in there somewhere.
That’s going to leave a pothole.
