I think that 2 versions of the MOAB are being produced: one for an airburst over troops/assets, and a penetrator version. Maybe the penetrator will be called MOAP for Massive Ordnance Attack Penetrator.

Can you imagine this thing being dropped from 40,000 feet in a hardened case, maybe even with a thruster-assist to increase speed? It might even be able to shake up Saddam down in his 300-ft.-deep bunker.

The fact that this 21,000 bomb is carrying fully 18,000 lbs of explosive shows us how far technolog has come compared to the Grand Slam of WWII.

The Mother of All Penetrators?
