The Father Of All Bombs
The Russians have tested a new type of weapon, as powerful as a nuclear bomb, but without all that pesky radiation! Instead, this vacuum bomb gets its power from a fuel-air mixture, which unleashes a destructive shockwave. It's reportedly four times more powerful than the U.S.'s version, known as the MOAB (mother of all bombs), which was the most powerful non-nuclear weapon ever designed - until now.The weapon was successfully field-tested in the late evening of September 11, 2007, when it was dropped from a Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bomber with a parachute and exploded. The weapon yields the equivalent of 44 tons of TNT using 7.8 tons of a new type of high explosive, created applying nanotechnology. In comparison, the MOAB produces the equivalent of 11 tons of TNT from 8 tons of high explosive. The blast radius of 300 m is twice as large as the MOAB.
If the blast doesn't incinerate people, its second phase employs a technology based on the "thermobaric" principle which uses heat and pressure to kill people targeted across a wide field - by sucking the air out of their lungs and rupturing internal organs.
Below are a couple of video footages of the bomb from two different news sources.

Wow, a new weapon. Isn't that nice?
God, these people make me sick!
Wow. How crazy!
Bombs, bombs and more bombs. Where the hell are we going to. By the way on "Making An Exception to the No Politics Rule" you talked about America invading Iran.(I hope not) but right now it seems more probable with France behind the US. Bombs and war: when new bombs come up, it means there is a war around the corner. I feel like "vomiting". Excuse my language
Russia seems to have a historical need to be the biggest in everything. In 1961, the Soviets dropped the largest yield nuclear weapon ever exploded on their far northern test range: the 50-megaton "Tsar Bomba". Frightening as the world may be today, it's been even scarier in the past!
this bomb for what?Protect from enemy? Who is enemy?
Which mean people killing people!
