In case anyone was wondering, MOAB stands for Massive Ordinance Air Blast.

I'm pretty sure Mother Of All Bombs is a slang acronym. Fairly certain the actual acronym is Massive Ordinance Air Burst.

I did some maths, and in addition to it being four Michael Jordans long, it was just two inches shy of being one Warwick Davis in diameter.

The psychological effect of realizing that you're not even safe in a long cave, makes this bad boy a real gem!

ISIS denounced America dropping bombs on ISIS? I'm shocked.

It was used because a couple of special forces guys were killed in that mountain side... The bomb was designed as a tunnel crusher. The cost to train and equip special ops, is the basically the same cost of the moab

Another side note on the Tsar Bomba: The test actually went so well, that it terrified even the Soviet Union at the time, and the nuclear project was scrapped from then on out, sticking to much smaller bombs. Why did it terrify them, you ask? Because the test was a success, and that meant the potential of the Tsar Bomba was near unlimited. They could theoretically have any size they wanted, due to how the Tsar Bomba was designed.

If the weapons that are public knowledge are that terrifying, imagine all the weapons that are still top secret 😅

Lol, pronunciations are hard. In 'Murica we pronounce it 'MO-AB'

Not as devistating as the Kill And Render Enemies Now bomb. Known as the KAREN. Devistating on all management levels

Though the MOAB kill rate might be smaller than reported and the price-per-kill ratio deemed questionable, the psychological damage of having one dropped in your backyard is priceless!

3:38 I just like how it says "General Purpose" on the side of the bomb.

“The terrorists don’t like being blown up with it” eh, too bad.

The tsar bomba wasnt a production model, it was one of a kind...our 25MT was.. Anything bigger than 50MT or so just results in the blast radius extending into space and any further added energy just vented there into space.

It reminds me of the Latin inscription on French cannons in the 18th century. "Ultima Ratio Regum" in English "The Last Argument of Kings"
