Re: Not the largest bomb!

Hello,

the real name of the "Mother of all bombs" is "Massive Ordnance Penetrator" and it's the largest ever manifactured of its kind... It's the biggest "bunker buster" bomb ever...

The others... Father of..., Brother of..., Sister of..., Cousin of, etc. etc. ... aren't bunker busters... They have for sure other devasting effect but not the one needed to penetrate and destroy a cave complex in Afghanistan or an iranian underground nuclear facility.

Ciao...
Gianpiero
