Sorry to say, but your MOAB drawing isn’t correct. It has moveable, ventilated, tail fins that look like air breaks (better performance than the older designs) and a set of stub wings about half way down the aluminum body.

MOAB was an interesting engineering project that produced some interesting data. There is something out there (either on drawing boards or elsewhere) that is even larger than the MOAB!

Unfortunately, when dealing with the Middle East you have to remember that your “target” audience is not fully civilized; so the presence or use of a MOAB class weapon doesn’t mean anything to them. Now, a collection of bodies near the border, each with parts missing (the .50-cal bullet is very destructive even at long ranges) is something they do understand!

Not my drawing and as you can plainly see, it is not meant to be precise.
