THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.. trump cheats to get his moab and it took me 5 years before i could obtain mine. 25 killstreak my ass.

Did we just give permission to Russia to use their FOAB?(Father of all Bombs) that thing is 44 tons of TNT? 4x larger then a MOAB? Don't people ask... Why we never did use them seeing how we have had them for over a decade?

[leomoscardi]

you know it's an american bomb "Creates a blast radius of roughly 1.6 km... in each direction"

[Eddieyou]

In American:
1.6 km = 1 Mile
10, 000 kgs = 22046.23 Pounds or 11 Tons

I don't say this lightly, but I'm afraid it's gonna have to take something nuclear to get ISIS' attention.

It''s the Modern Warfare 3 Nuke equivalent - that's how I know it's strong

[carlthesociopathicllama]

The MOAB might be the father of all bombs but Tsar Bomba is the father.

MOAB that's sounds familiar. Modern Warfare 2

[anguskangus]

[Littlebigbot]

Is this bomb the same as a "bunker buster"?
