The United States has dropped its largest non-nuclear weapon after it targeted ISIS a network of caves and tunnels in eastern Afghanistan.

U.S. forces used a GPS-guided GBU-43 bomb, which is 30 feet long and weighs a staggering 21,600 pounds.

A crater left by the blast is believed to be more than 300 meters wide. It has been described as the 'Mother Of All Bombs' – a play on the 'MOAB' acronym, which actually stands for 'Massive Ordnance Air Burst.'

KA-BOOOOOM

Fat Boy is paying attention now.

Sure hope we have a few more of those in the stack. That saves the problem of burial.

Breaking? Been on sidebR for an hour.

[bar sin·is·ter]

I just saw it.

Alternate Universe ... !?!

Go get’em Guys !

Who else needs a bloody Nose?

[Wuli]

Sending the “fat boy” onto ISIS in Afghanistan and in the process giving a warning to the “fat boy” in North Korea.

[TakebackGOP]

Did Bush ever drop this?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Fat Boy laughs at your MOAB and wipes his arse with air-burst technology.

But seriously, I would like to see the BDA in the coming days. Did they hit anything or kill any ISIS creeps?

[cyclotic]

The MOAB drop is reportedly in retaliation for ISIS killing a US special forces soldier. I’m guessing Staff Sergeant Mark De Alancar. He’s from my County.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

This isn’t the first time. I remember when they dropped this in Afghanistan anlftet 9-11. From a cargo plane

[georgiegirl]

TRUMP: We’re going to bomb the sh*t out of them!

[jiggyboy]

First time in combat per the article.

[jiggyboy]

I think that was the so-called “daisy cutter”, more of a fuel-air bomb than ten tons of explosives.

[Newtoidaho]

Would it be out of line to suggest testing this thing on CNN’s headquarters before using it in the field?

[pfflier]

Unimagineable decisive action from a US president.

That will have the libs and euroweenies wringing their hands until the skin rubs off too.

[TBP]

Hopefully, it was effective.
