No. It is too big to be dropped by any US bomber. The C-130 drops it out the back hatch.

From the article....
“McDonnell Douglas was awarded a $51.9 million contract to provide ‘Massive Penetrator Ordnance Integration’ on B-2 aircraft.

Is this MOAB also known as a “bunker buster” bomb ..??

I wondered about that when I saw it immediately turn nose downward .. ordinary bomb would often remain level .. but this one didn’t.

Curious.
