US drops ‘largest non-nuclear bomb’ in Afghanistan in area populated by ISIS fighters #MOAB

The more dead jihadis, the better. But why limit ourselves to ISIS strongholds? Blow away the Taliban (Obama’s “peace partners”), too.

Expect terror groups such as CAIR and their leftwing lapdogs to start howling in 3…2…1…

MOAB: the mother of all bombs.

US drops ‘largest non-nuclear bomb’ in Afghanistan in area populated by Isis members

CNN, Aprl 13, 2017:

The US has dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in the country’s arsenal on an area of eastern Afghanistan known to be populated by Islamic State militants.

The Pentagon confirmed the strike was the first time the 21,000lb weapon had been used in combat.

A spokesperson for the US Department of Defence confirmed to The Independent that a MC-130 aircraft dropped a GBU-43 bomb at 7pm local time.

The weapon is known in the US Air Force by its nickname MOAB, or “mother of all bombs”. MOAB stands for massive ordinance air blast.

A reporter at CNN, which broke the news, said the bomb was targeting Isis tunnels and fighters in the Achin district of Nangarhar.

Thanks for the video – interesting stuff. We are so powerful…and yet we put up with so much crap. Sometimes I don’t get it. North Korea? Drop 10 MOABs on that pathetic country, kill as many inbreds as possible and be done with it. Then do it again, and then again until they beg us to stop. Then do it again.

Good ! But who will clean up ISIS supporters within America ?

Left/Liberal “Leaders” are the Trojan horses that allow, enable
the destruction of their countries by the vicious snakes(“Poor” Muslim Fake refugees) either due to their idealogical stupidity, ignorance or because they are paid of by saudi/OIC Lobbyists to push for islam http://tinyurl.com/gwfxa8s

Pakistan , afganistan have combined population of 220 Million. even if 1% join jihadis , you’ll have to keep bombing for next 100 years but they will still keep popping up. Its the idealogy. you can’t kill it with bombs.

Remember US tax payers fund pukistan and afganistan govt with about $2-3 billion /year, some of it goes to fund the jihadis ! LOL !

Islam has made the worst mistake since Muhammad, it has pissed off most of America off.
Life will be very hard for them.
Their challenge in the USA will not be to keep the “Profit” from being maligned but to avoid being packed in shipping containers back to haji land.

Having read the report in the Mail on line, the report mentioned that the MOAB was dropped in order to destroy caves hiding ISIS where they lurked before raiding allied troops, well to me you use a surface blast bomb to knock over structures ON the surface, the report mentioned a thin aluminium case for the weapon.

The RAF invented these things in the 1940s, they weighed 4000lbs and were called “cookies”, each had a thin steel case and the rest of the weight was high explosive, barometric pressure was employed to set them off at a pre set height above ground. They were dropped by the four engined Halifax and Lancaster bombers as well as the balsa wood and birch ply wooden wonder the De Havilland Mosquito..

It would seem to me that if the report was true, and caves were the intended target, surely a reinforced heavy steel case earth penetrator bomb like the 20,000lb British “Grand Slam” would prove better. This product of the genius of Sir Barnes Wallace gained the name “Earth Quake” bomb, it had such a strong case of very special steel that it could penetrate upto a hundred feet into the ground before blasting a huge cavern shaking to bits anything above it, or collapsing tunnels around it. The Lancaster was the only plane able to lift it, not only because it had the wingspan and power, but the bomb bay was long and uninterrupted, the main spar was above it unlike the B29.

If caves were my target, I would ring up the Brit MOD, get the formula of that steel, build 50 or so, load 2 into a B1
and enjoy the sight of all those Jihadists moving closer to their 72 virgins. Something of this order is going to be needed in Iran sooner or later.

this can only be the first of many steps, many bombs, if we are to defeat Islam. thanks for the history on the bombs. very interesting. I think, as you say, about 50, would probably have some impact overall. One wonders what the Islamic ‘holy men’ might do if they are about to be destroyed. Pull back? Surrender? Anything at all — that would count for something? I don’t think they can. the Koran doesn’t allow it. Lying, deception, friendship, anything to advance the agenda of world domination. but i wonder if we took steps like you suggest. thinking out loud. for now, bombs away. as you say, build more, and use them. Force is the ONLY thing that will defeat Islam.

Carpet bombing was the term used in Vietnam

Best if they did release more bombs like Wallis Barns developed and just carpet bomb the area around the cities minimise civilian deaths

I know Wallis and his bomb

What I was trying to say to be sure you destroy the tunnrls, you need more than one bomb around the area. Where a grid layout with more cheaper bombs that could have done more impact. We have only one area, but like the Vietnamese they if right had many tunnels going long distances so how do we know we have destroyed them.

Even the Japanese had many tunnels, even destroying a few there were many others

IF you look it up, The US Air Force bombed these areas many times- with little effect.
The MOAB fixed that & gave Taliban [& others] fair warning,
*90 killed, all tunnels/caves utterly destroyed. BUT at huge cost- $300 million for ONE bomb.

* according to Afghan Forces assessment.

absolutely agree. a tough task, of course, as they’ve infiltrated all of Europe, and made big strides in the U.S. They’re on a mission to destroy all non-believers. It seems it’s going to get a lot worse, before we have any chance of it getting better. The war is on. I just hope we really rise to the fight. Every mosque that’s built is bad news. I’d love to see them all torn down, recognized as centers for planning terrorism and preaching murder — which is of course what they preach, and what they pray for every day. ‘Pray’ — not sure praying is what I would call it. Calling on the forces of darkness in their quest, is more like it. Islam is as you say. And has been since its beginning. Politicians and leaders and writers have warned about it throughout history. It’s going to get interesting. Big job ahead.

Jim, I have read — don’t remember where — some people have suggested that if we were to destroy Mecca — really, I hate talking in terms like that, but the stakes are so high — that they would collapse. The destruction of their holy places would have a tremendous impact, so these men said. I think one was high up in government.

Defeating an ideology? It seems the only hope is something like this, where, like you said, maybe enough go, ‘This isn’t worth it.’ Maybe? Of course we don’t know. And as you also pointed out, they’re ‘friendly’ and submissive when that is the only tactic for survival.

We live in interesting times, for sure. Your understanding of Islam is pretty comprehensive. The more the word spreads and people truly see Islam for what it is, the greater the resistance will be.

I like ‘Saudi Barbaria’ …!

The Massive Ordinance Air Blast Bomb has the explosive power of a small atomic bomb and none of the deadly radioactivity and radioactive fall out of an atomic bomb. So it has good uses for targeting bunkers and tunnels and a small community of enemy soldiers.

Just a bir more on the bomb, Russsia is also said to have one4 times the size.

MOAB 1 miles destruction range.

Lets hope this bomb has done serious damage to the Muslim forces. At least if the tunnels damaged, stop them popingup behind our lines or attacking civilians

10 jihadi shut down Mumbai for days with just AKs and grenades, I want every last one of these demons killed.
They don’t mind dying for Alluah, the least we can do is help them.
36 jihadi can install many IEDs, the MOAB eliminates the need to clear the tunnels.

Good point! … let’s keep on bombing them every day if necessary this way they can die for Allah and get their 72 virgins they have been promised.
Ok maybe it’s not possible to drop a bomb daily but a couple should be able to kill them all.i just cannot comprehend the small death toll.

The MOAB concussion bomb is an upgrade from the 6,000 lb. version called a “Daisy Cutter” which we were using in Vietnam during my time there with the US Navy. Its original purpose was to drop the jungle foliage in order to clear a landing zone for the choppers but its other capabilities as an anti-personnel weapon soon became apparent. If a subject is close enough to the blast center it has sufficient power for dismemberment. The trick is its detonation above the ground line so that its concussive power is spread out instead of wasted digging a crater.
