[@Elias_Avraham]

What’s even more terrifying isn’t even its size, it’s the fact it’s thermobaric. It essentially releases a fine explosive aerosol into the air which ignites and explodes, but because it’s a particulate spread almost like a cloud it has an immense surface area, all the oxygen from the local area gets sucked in to feed the explosion. Even if your lucky enough to survive the blast, it can rupture your lungs as it pulls the oxygen out, cause blood to pool in your eyes (hyphema), rupture organs, and there’s even reports of animals being found with their lungs inside out having been pulled out through their mouths. Truly terrifying.

The worst place to be if one experiences the business end of any thermobaric isn't where it detonates but actually being just beyond the blast area especially in confined spaces.

I think you're conflating the MOAB GBU-43 with Boeing's proposal MOP GBU-57. The MOAB was designed and built by Albert Weimorts from AFRL, first tested in 2003. Boeings proposal was the massive ordnance penetrator GBU-57. The MOAB was designed in-house at AFRL after the BLU-82 concept. It was never intended to be dropped out of anything but a C-130. The Boeing GBU-57 was meant to be integrated into the B-2 weapons capability. The GBU-57 program was several order of magnitudes more expensive than the MOAB so was never adopted. The MOAB was adopted and first used in 2017 in Afghanistan. Being designed and built at a US Army munitions facility in Oklahoma saved the USAF significant money and program costs. Since the MOAB doesn't require any significant integration (if any) into the C-130. It's dropped like a piece of cargo.

Fun fact, some years before these came into existence, one of their slightly smaller precursors went off in an armory. Turns out the explosive was slightly unstable and over time decayed to a point it self ignited. Heard it from a guy that worked the security gate while they disarmed 6 of them on Clark Airbase...he was well within the blast radius if one went off by accident while they were attempting to disarm it. Incidentally, he ended up with half a case of thermite grenades that someone had failed to secure properly after the disarming was complete. Probably just a coincidence that some slums and jungle caught fire in the following weeks.

[@jebbroham1776]

I was in the Navy when they dropped that MOAB on ISIS in Eastern Afghanistan in 2017. We all heard about it pretty quickly after it happened, since I was in an Electronic Attack squadron and we were gearing up for our own deployment to the Med in support of ground operations in Syria for Operation Inherent Resolve. What a time that was.

[@Meeks0713]

Our offensive performance against the browns this last season was a testament to how great Coach Payton’s schemes are. He schemed up a rushing attack against one of the top defenses that absolutely dominated and was incredible to see, I still remember watching that game in awe as we went above .500 and I actually started feeling like we had a chance with Russ. Unfortunately I guess Russ just couldn’t get with the program but I’m done discussing Russ. I just immediately thought of that game when you were talking about how good he is as an offensive mastermind

The Grand Slam bomb, invented in 1943, was in service in 1945 (before the end of the second world war), weighed more than this at 22000lb, and was delivered via a variant of the standard RAF Bomber Command heavy bomber, the AVRO Lancaster.

[@natemadill2390]

The Royal air forces Grand Slam, used during WW2 was 22,000 lbs, one of the most famous instances of the Grand Slam being used was when the RAF sank the KMS Tirpitz, the sister ship of the Bismarck, the bomb impacted the water next to the super battleship and caused enough damage to capsize the Tirpitz

Funny how when I was loading cargo planes, including these little old poof factories, there weren't many chairs around. Equally amusing is how that cargo job made me able to bench press well over 450lbs at the age of 23, without spending a day in the gym. Cargo is kinda heavy. Yes a great many have office jobs, but not those of us who actually work with or on the planes. C5s and whatnot don't fit into offices very well.

I suppose it rubs me a bit raw when I was worked like a red headed rented step pack mule and then punished for being overweight whilst having a six pack and the ability to load planes pushing 10k lb pallets alone. I am more salty with the USAF than anyone else. The jarheads would have loved to have me, either carrying the MG or working on armor. The army wanted to use me to throw 155mm rounds around all day. My brother went Army, he was an 88M driving HETs around the desert for the first 12 years, then got his warrant and flew UH60s in Afghanistan and finished out his last two years as an instructor. Maybe I should have gone Army... I would be able to fit in a large T shirt if I had. I like the name by the way... its kick ass.

on the same topic of Cargo plane based ordinance. You should do a video on the new US Rapid Dragon system. Palatized JAASM cruise missiles that are dropped out the back of a C-130 or C-17 and then launched mid air after the pallet deploys a parachute to slow its decent. Because if the US is gonna bomb you, they might as well do it as logistically simplified as possible.
