Good.

http://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104614/massive-ordnance-penetrator/ takes you to the USAF fact sheet on the weapon—it is “Massive Ordinance Perpetrator (MOP), not MOAB.

Media gets it wrong again.

Cost, found at: http://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/Portals/84/documents/FY12/AFD-110211-039.pdf?ver=2016-08-23-123609-213, pg 05-1 and also page 05-63. . .cost $23Mil for the program start.

With this success, asking for next fiscal year to add $40mil for procurement and an additional $55Mil for more RTD&E.

I’m thinking maybe you got it wrong. The MOP and the MOAB are two different weapons. The MOP is the bunker-buster penetrating bomb. The MOAB is the air-burst bomb.
