Sorry, but I disagree (I pick 1/2 kiloton out of air, that is why the question mark). The bomb weighs 21,000 lbs, but doesn't use TNT to generate its explosive force. It disperses gases than ignites them. My question: Is the total explosive power greater than it's TNT weight? I would think so. But how much greater was the question.

You are correct. This isn't TNT. The actual explosive force is likely to be larger.

But, not on the order of thousands off. That's like asking for a millimiter and taking a kilometer.

It disperses gases than ignites them.

That was the other error in this Times of Oman story, this is not a fuel air bomb.
