The test drops were from a c130 just like a daisycutter, but the Moab was designed to fit the bombay of a b2. The holdup on dropping them from bombers is the orignal bomb racks in our big bombers are not designed to hold anything this heavy. As soon as we get a bomber modified to carry them (if we havn't already) we will be able to drop them from higher attitude. Cargo planes with their back door open arn't pressurized and can't operate a high allitudes.
