Now that's what I'm talking about!!  Clap

MOAB = "Mother of All Bombs!"  

I think this was a test-run for possibly using this against North Korean troops, massed along the northern border of South Korea.  They are dug into valleys & caves, so this would be one way to deal with that situation.

That must be a hell of a thing to be around when it detonates - sucks the air out of the caves and tunnels, and ignites it Shocked

Yeah, and the primary explosion creates a HUGE vacuum, so tons of gases & debris come rebounding right back in!!  Bee-youtiful! 

BTW, you know this about me, right?
