Well, according to the article they have exceeded ours by just a bit:

It has been nicknamed the "dad of all bombs" and is four times more powerful than the U.S. "mother of all bombs."

The device is said to be four times more powerful than America's Massive Ordnance Air Blast, nicknamed the Mother Of All Bombs.

Have they EVER invented anything? I mean, other than the oxcart?

Well, certain baked meat pies, profoundly depressing literature, alcoholism as an accepted national pastime and certain hot female tennis stars come to mind.......

First orbital sat, first launch and reentry of an animal, first animal in orbit, first man in orbit, first woman in space, first pix of the backside of the moon, first pix of the surface of Venus, stuff like that. The AK-47, most popular infantry rifle. Some important nuclear breaktrhroughs.

But it was a long time ago, for sure, that they did anything comparable.

For instance, Mi-24 Hind looks like its pretty original and not a knockoff/influenced by anything that the West had at the time.
