The Moniker of Massive Explosion Weaponry Submitted by: N/A Hits: 3 Date Added: 12/08/2014 Description: The 'Mother Of All Bombs' is a nickname for the largest non-nuclear weapon in existence. It's officially known as the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, or MOAB for short. This bomb was developed by the United States and first deployed in Afghanistan in 2017. It has a yield of approximately 11 tons of TNT, making it one of the most powerful conventional bombs ever used in warfare. Despite its massive size and destructive power, the MOAB is not considered to be a nuclear weapon, as it does not use nuclear fission or fusion to create an explosion. Instead, it relies on conventional explosives to cause devastation on a massive scale.
