Russia shows composure holding "Father of all Bombs" FOAB

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Unlike Trump who decided to just use the weapon in middle of no where , Russian still have the strategic "Father of all bombs" a greater bomb then Americans. The bomb still is quite mysterious as hardly been used recently

However all hell breaks lose when ever the Russian bombers are spotted flying at high altitudes

Did anyone knew about this weapon in Russian posession not many , but unlike Americans they maintain the secrecy around their weapon. And certainly keep the usage history below zero

Definitely won't be coming out of that plane.

Technically if Russian ever were forced to use a none nuclear weapon they could use it

Seems like even Iran can make something simple as this hardly any nuclear material needed just normally available goods in ammo market


Thanks to US's usage now almost all militaries of the world have an understanding on the weapon and perhaps might even show interest in it

Russian version FOAB does seem to be more powerful than MOAB.

really just looks like a metal container filled with 7-13 tones of tnt .... even iran or syria have TNT unlimited supply

 

[Narcissist]

Lol @ Russia love. Why love Russia out of nowhere? Don't hate em... But you paindus have no reason to love them.

Sacha piyar

The world needs multiple forces to keep it in blance , if 1 man starts feeling he controls the destiny of world that leads to chaos unfortunately

From a neutral point of view , Russia does seem to be a honest broker don't see them invading or attacking anyone

But with all the lethal weaponry that Russian have you hardly ever see them use it

Trump dropping bombs everywhere. Now this suggests how election rhetoric is so different actual position of power and actions that ensue.

MOAB falling in no man's land and American claim to justify it sounds very shallow. This could have been done with lot less heavy weapon. This is more of statement of power and intent than just an unusual bomb drop.

If America wants lasitng peace in Afghanistan (which it does not), it would be seriously reaching out to all factions of Afghan politics and populace. On the contrary, America has pitted estranged leader on the warpath.

YOu do realize that is a long range strategic bomber

Definitely won't be coming out of that plane.

YOu do realize that is a long range strategic bomber

you do realize Tu-160 literally can't carry a bomb that size

 

[Thorough Pro]

Watch the video, or is that a different plane?

[Azeri440]

it cuts on Tu-160 but the bomb is released backwards, its launched from a transport aircraft just like MOAB is launched
they made the cuts to make it look like its launched from Tu-160

The Russian 'FOAB' weapon is a fuel-air explosive, has a thermobaric warhead. The 7,100 kg (15,650 lb) bomb works by detonating in mid-air. Most damage is inflicted by a supersonic shockwave and extremely high temperatures. Thermobaric weapons differ from conventional explosive weapons in that they generate a longer, more sustained blast wave with greater temperatures. In doing so, they produce more damage over a larger area than a conventional weapon of similar mass

Likewise, the 10,300 kg (22,600 lb) MOAB is not a penetrator weapon and is primarily intended for soft to medium surface targets covering extended areas and targets in a contained environment such as a deep canyon or within a cave system.

The GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is a U.S. Air Force, precision-guided, 30,000-pound (14,000 kg) "bunker buster" bomb. This is substantially larger than the deepest penetrating bunker busters previously available, the 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) GBU-28 and GBU-37. Warhead: 5,300 pounds (2,404.0 kilograms) high explosive.

so all we have is a smaller russian bomb that is claimed to be twice to four times as effective... with nothing that proofes the claims...typical Russia...
