Can be delivered out the back of a C 130.

Almost.

A C-130J-30 can certainly carry the weight, but the MOAB needs to be dropped from 50,000' for adequate penetration.

I'd be willing to bet a rocket assisted fall could be dropped from 28,000', and have the terminal velocity of a 50,000' free fall...

It’s a MOP, not MOAB.

The MOAB is a air burst weapon for things on the surface.
