“Russia claims that the Tu-160 Blackjack super-sonic heavy bomber is the primary means to delivering this massive bomb, but...It is much more likely that an Il-76 cargo plane, or even the larger An-124, would carry the weapon to the target area...

“The Russians claim the bomb is guided by their own GLONASS satellite navigation system, similar to GPS, but this delivery profile strongly suggests the weapon is actually unguided.”

Well, what exactly ARE we supposed to believe about this?

I hope that the Russians killed a lot of koranimals.

Sure won’t get the transgender mother of all bombs out of that country.

I don’t believe it. It would have shown up as one heck of an earthquake.

Good place for a battlefield test
Syria seems close to cleaning out this area with the aid of the Russian Air Force

No mention of weapon used, but RT are just reporting “Russian airstrike destroys bunker [underground command center] with senior ISIS commanders near Deir ez-Zor” which would tally.

Trump said today at his new conference with Kuwait emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, that we have been decimating ISIS. We have done more in eight months than Zer0 did in eight years.

That's the first thing I thought of. If they call it the father of all bombs, they are obviously a bunch of insensitive, misogynistic low life scum bags. /s. 😀😆😄🇵🇭

“At the same time, the use of this weapon doesn’t damage or pollute the environment.”

This one statement made me doubt the entire article. A J school grad must have written this article.

That’s OK.

We’re working on a non-cis genderfluid polyamorous non-specific nurturing figure of a thing that self identifies as a bomb... Most of the time, anyway.

12: "the use of this weapon doesn’t damage or pollute the environment"

Well, the Hazmat team would probably disagree. Widespread chunks of ISIS meat and fluids would definitely pollute the environment — however, it's a problem we can live with!

Because you see, US weapons (like those nasty nuclear bombs “we” (racist capitalist white males) used against the Japanese (and might need to use against the North Korean Asian innocents) to end WWII and save lives) DID damage the environment!

Propaganda desguised as news media.

They should drop one of those fuel air bombs on the next hurricane that develops out in the Atlantic...

...a large explosion right in the eye of the storm may knock it out.

You have no idea of the scale of a hurricane. One of those bombs would so zip, nada, not a thing.

Here, go read up a bit. Nukes are not even powerful enough.
