Wasn’t the MOAB dropped out of the back of a cargo plane? And wasn’t it equipped with a chute?
My word, how does the USAF deliver something as large as the MOP?
Kah-Booooooommmmm!!! Sounds like one super-duper uppercut.

I read it is intended that this new bomb will be deployed on either a B-2.1 or B-52 bomber.

Disguise it as an asteroid and drop it from such a high altitude that the islamofacists in Iran would never believe it was something done by the “Great Satan”. It would have to be judgment from Allah for their indidelity.

Nope, you’re looking for the new Swiss Army Bomb, it can estabilish civil order and stand up a replacement military.

Milk shakes or Kleenex or Gucci leather or red herrings won’t stop IEDs either. Should we be against them? Do you have a point? Or is the point and purpose of this weapon lost on you?

It will if we drop a few on the Iranian Parliament and Presidential Palace....

Yeah, but will it stop road side bombs? As a matter of fact, I do believe that dropping these in the proper places in Iran WOULD stop road side bombs in Iraq.

the MOAB was dropped out of a bigger plane, like a C-5A or a C-141 I think.
