BREAKING: ‘Mother Of All Bombs’ Dropped In Afghanistan

We Are Change

Reports have surfaced that the MOAB (Mother of all Bombs) has been used for the first time in combat today. The weapon seemingly has a blast yield of 11 tons. In comparison, “Little Boy,” the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan in 1945 has a blast yield of 15 kilotons.

This means that the MOAB doesn’t quite match up to an atomic bomb, but it has still been dubbed the “largest non-nuclear bomb” by various sources.

for reference, this is what the MOAB we dropped on Afghanistan would do if it landed in Times Square. $16 million each. pic.twitter.com/52Ate07wir
