A Moab is just an improved daisy cutter. it’s an FA type bomb that disperses above ground then explodes. It’ll knock tanks over a mile away, but it won’t even make a crater.

MOAB is FA? I thought it was just a bunch of conventional explosive...

You’re right though, it’s not designed to be a penetrator.

True... Film at 11!

But the disparity of the two's dimensions was my point... that you evidently did not get.

Thus, we recap:

Re:

Where did you get this photo and the source that it is one of the 30,000 20.5 feet long MOP as it certainly does not look to be either 20.5 feet long nor large enough to be 30,000 pounds...

Here is a 21,600-pound MOAB... and it is bigger (It is 30 feet long with a diameter of 40.5 inches) than the one you have pictured.

Now, Nathan... you got it?
