Wasn’t the MOAB dropped out of the back of a cargo plane? And wasn’t it equipped with a chute?

My word, how does the USAF deliver something as large as the MOP?

Kah-Booooooommmmm!!! Sounds like one super-duper uppercut.

I read it is intended that this new bomb will be deployed on either a B-2.1 or B-52 bomber.
