One very big @$$ bomb!

Recommended Posts


Well, it's actually smaller than the MOAB (GBU-43) by about 10 feet, but weighs 5 tons MORE!

 

Also, the MOAB has 18700 pounds of explosive, but this new weapon only has roughly 6000 lbs.

 

This thing must be damn near all steel and lead! A very specific weapon...not much boom, but a whole lot of drillin! Plus, being shorter, allows it to fit in the bay where a AGM-86 cruise missile sits now.

Steel ,lead and probably depleted uranium. :good:

If it gets down to where it's supposed to go,you probably don't need that much high explosive to get the job done. :yikes:

Oooh, can we say "Tactical Value"? In that aspect, it's worth it's weight in gold...

 

Anybody timing how long it will take for somebody to model it in a TW sim?

Massive Ordnance Penetrator... Ffff... I thought it was the name for a sextoy !

When I first heard this Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, I knew they in the Bush administration were watching LEXX on the SciFi 24hr Stargate Channel late night. They had to.

Yes Interesting - the damage 617sq did with Tallboys and Grandslams was shocking the way they just went through layers of concrete in those U Boat pens and rocket sites!
