As you all now know, the MOAB was dropped. What kills isn't the explosion itself, but the blast wave.
>The [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is unique–and unpleasant.... What kills is thepressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs.... If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel.
That's from a humanitarian report on what happens when it's used.
Forgot to mention that the effect is magnified when in tunnels and buildings.
Aaron Rodriguez
Cool
Nathan Walker
isnt' it just a tail-kit to turn any bomb into a precision guided munition?
Ayden Jenkins
I don't know what's better, that mudshits got BTFO or the epic butthurt from lefties all around the globe. Today I learned it's an atrocity to kill terrorists and that Trump is worse than Satan, according to normies.
Brody Sanders
I'm fucking confused by this too. That, and CNN is leading all the snowflakes to believe Afghanistan was almost nuked
Lincoln Ross
No
Massive Ordnance Air Burst
21,000lb of fuck you and the village you used to live in
Jace Barnes
You're thinking of the JDAM system.
Samuel Flores
ISIS is in Afghanistan? What are their numbers there? Serious question
And why don't they have an A in their name, as given to them by the US gov?

Thank you OP, and to the 30 gorrillion other shill faggots who are shilling the "acclimation to NUKE size explosions" operation.
What do you call it around the office? Mushroom Clouds Are Awesome!
Wyatt Roberts
Yeah its measured in tons of TNT, a nuke is in kilotons. That and they are reporting its a mile across, when it would actually be 2 since it radiates a mile in each direction. Our msm is actually retarded, they report fake news constantly but not always on purpose.
Caleb Williams
It's especially fun because the prolonged shockwave will fuck up your organs and cause you to slowly die of choking or internal bleeding. Your brain is soft and plastic enough to survive without too much damage. And the fuel in the bomb is also severly toxic by itself. You won't die for up to 10-15 minutes, just lying there, burnt, bleeding, and paralysed. But hey, at least it's not a chemical weapon.
Jack Hall
>You won't die for up to 10-15 minutes, just lying there, burnt, bleeding, and paralysed.
Ever see people get knocked in the air from an explosion in a movie? When that happens, your soft spongy shits fly away first, dragging your skeleton after, ripping apart organs/blood vessels/ligaments. We're strong enough to survive that at first, but only just long enough to suffer on the way out.
David Cox
sadly, the internet says this is an ammo dumo being destroyed. It would do something similar, though
Noah Roberts
Obama drops thousands of fucking bombs...no one cares. Trump drops a MOAB suddenly he's the devil.
How does bombing Afghanistan MAGA and didn't he campaign on a non interventionist platform
Daniel Rogers
he campaigned on bombing the shit out of ISIS. it MAGAs by making america's dick look big.
Jackson Ortiz
or the one I prefer Mother of all bombs
Evan Clark
>spending more in foreign countries >somehow this "America First"
Joshua Cook
Like NDT explained on Joe Rogan, if the war head is fast enough it doesnt even need explosives in it.
John Scott
Assad using chemical weapons on a civilian population is different to using non-chemical weapons on known terrorists.
Besides this is basically Trump shitposting irl and letting North Korea that the next MOAB has "Kim Jong Faggot" written on it.
Josiah Lee
>bombing an avowed and active enemy of the united states >not "America First"
Evan Robinson
ISIS is such a threat in afghanistan, good job donald dipshit
William Barnes
Came here to post this. People acting like the MOAB is something new and unheard of is triggering me.
Dominic Sanchez
>ASSAD IS TERRIBLE FOR USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON JIHADISTS HE IS LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER AND MUST GO >MAN CHECK OUT THIS MOAB BEST BOMB EVAR IT LITERALLY CAUSES JIHADISTS' LUNGS TO EXPLODE INSIDE THEIR BODIES AND ALSO THEIR BODIES TO BURN HORRIFICALLY INTO CHARRED MEAT IN THE SECOND BEFORE THEY REALIZE THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD
really inspires contemplative meditation
Julian Jackson
He said he would take care of ISIS.
I don't remember the "I will never use the military for anything" campaign promise.
Logan Kelly
>interventionism is more important than domestic issues
I hope you die poisoned by bad tap water tbḧ fucking kike
Eli Carter
That's an expensive equipment to throw away by Donny so carelessly. Is it effective in any way other than a show for media?
Dominic Morales
What's worse? > Spending 50% of the entire worlds total military budget yearly. > Never use it because it's too expensive.
Really activates my almonds.
Oliver Ward
in reality, the only reason chem weapons are a war crime now is because they're so cheap and easy to make
by labeling chem weapons as a war crime world-wide, the US and UN and etc keep a stranglehold on (((legal))) weapons and means of killing humans en masse.
Xavier Murphy
'you gringos disgust me! why spend money on weapons when you could be spending it on stuffing food into niggers!' pic very related.
David Howard
I know, aren't explosions based?
Luis Morgan
That's not how it works.
What kills isn't the explosion itself, but the propaganda blast wave is causes.
Another wag the dog distraction, especially helpful to re-cuck the trumpcucks in emotional turmoil via the simple jr high dick waving they love as it helps them overcompensate for their own lack of manhood.
so if you drop that shit near a tunnel entrance the confined pressure inside will fuck everything up? GG Trump
Nolan Ross
that's a JDAM a MOAB is a thermobaric weapon so powerful that it operates on the level of a small scale nuclear weapon
Robert White
idk
Joshua Reed
Need a quick fix maaaan
John Nelson
>Mother of All Bombs >precision leaf logic
Kevin Martin
So just like any bomb then?
Brayden Barnes
best part is, most people measure that in LBS of tnt, that 21,000lbs yield is of more potent explosives. Source: I drunkenly straddled the one at the airforce armament museum outside of eglin AFB. and read the card before I left.
Joseph Perez
>that shockwave imagine being 2-3 blocks away
Jack Parker
We need to make more of these bombs, they seem fun.
Jack Phillips
Shame we're not going to get video footage of this air strike, it would really be a sight to behold
Henry Wood
Someone took it.
We'll have to wait until it gets declassified.
Parker Williams
This
It will literally "shake" apart a human body, leaving it in little pieces
Joseph Parker
It has to be deployed from a C-130, good luck flying one of them into NK
Isaiah Walker
Nukes are megatons.
Jace Moore
>when in tunnels and buildings. Topkek those ISIS rats got liquefied. You don't fuck with America.
Chase Brown
...
Andrew Ramirez
I can't wait for that propaganda video from the federal government of that MOAB blast and hopefully closeups of the bastards being liquified
Anthony Parker
No shit, we don't buy it all to look at it.
Brody Lewis
The air force is going to show it off as soon as the declassification. Or when they are done fapping to the video.
Isaiah Phillips
What kind of music would go best with the video?
Justin Ross
to be honest something made for the occasion.
Oliver Robinson
All modern military explosive devices work this way. It's the pressure wave that kills you. Unless your sitting right on top of the thing you are not tossed through the air like in the movies. And even then your parts are just ripped off and scattered. The only real differences in ordinance is if it is specialized like bunker busters, cluster bombs, incendiary bombs, etc.
Colton Morgan
Early nukes and precision nukes are in the KT range, while the big ones like the TSAR bomba are in MT.
Grayson Stewart
Neat.
Elijah Carter
Why not use a c17?.
Joseph Ortiz
That's how most conventional explosives work. The heat doesn't kill (unless it's a fire ball kinda bomb) as often as the pressure wave. That's the part that blows out your lungs and blows you to pieces. After many bomb drops, you'll see the dead often with their lungs sucked out their mouths. T. Militaryfag
Jaxon Phillips
Stupid indio just shut up
John Bailey
That's literally how every explosion works...
Benjamin Ward
the explosive yield is 11 tonnes of TNT
Comparatively, the smallest nuke I know of is around 300 tonnes
Colton Powell
how many died? where was it used? nothing yet
Joseph Long
...
Isaiah Bennett
From what Ive researched the only aircraft currently capable of deploying it is a C-130 variant, perhaps they will develop delivery systems for other aircraft.
Justin Cox
I cant understand why people is against throwing this kind of bombs on ISIS.
Enyone against this extreme kebab removing action is a piece of shit and deserves to die.
Lucas Mitchell
...
Ethan Nguyen
>ISIS >In Afghanistan
Bentley Rivera
They are just mad they didn't think of it first.
Adam Anderson
It's designed for MC-130s. I guess it could be deployed from a C-17, but I don't think that's the point our Aussie friend is making
C-130s and C-17s have massive Radar Cross Sections and North Korea's myriad of radar air defenses will pick it off early.
Jordan Rodriguez
Give you an inkling of what it is and how it works.
Don't start new wars but if you're already at war you bomb the shit out of them and kill every one of those motherfuckers
The MOABs are already paid for. They made 20 and sat for over a decade in a warehouse. It's a waste of $314 million not to use it. Not like you're going to I spend money already spent.
Thomas Evans
>you will never have your thoracic cavity eviscerated by nothing but air.

Ayden Thompson
So if we had this for those tunnel makers in Vietnam we might have actually won?
Side note, I could have sworn I read somewhat recently that the Vietcong were very close to giving up right before we pulled out of Vietnam. Is that true at all? I can't remember all the details, but at least from what I remember it was that if we had just pushed on for a couple more months we would have succeeded, but with all the protests and anti-war sentiment we just had to pull out.
I mean the war was literally started on a false-flag to begin with, so I'm no fan of us being as involved as we were in the first place, but were we really that close to "victory"?
David Anderson
Exactly. If you are allready in a war... Just throw them your best shit and end it fast.
Lots of americans seems to love the "Make war but dont try to win" kind of bullshit.
>Ears would have been left bleeding and internal organs battered by the staggering force of the blast. >Anyone caught inside the tunnels would have been crushed as the force of 19,000 pounds of highly complex explosives caused them to collapse on the ISIS terrorists. >A crater left by the blast is believed to be more than 300 feet wide after it exploded just six feet above the ground. Anyone at the blast site was vaporized.
>The first blast detonates and spreads highly flammable aluminum dust and the second is the baric blast - which literally sucks oxygen out from cave tunnels before rapidly becoming an expanding shock wave. >Both the implosion and the blast wave cause massive internal damage to anyone who has not been already been incinerated by the detonation, with most injuries to hollow organs such as the ears, lungs and stomach. >Anyone in the tunnels who did not have the life sucked out them would have then been crushed to death by the sheer force of the explosion.
