So is our issue with the bombing or the size of the bombing which hasn't even had confirmed citizen deaths?

Cause y'all weren't nearly as outraged when obama was doing it
Who said I was outraged I just said Obama was doing the same thing it hasn't been effective that was my point.

It's a "Massive Ordnance Penetrator" used for busting bunkers.

From the Air Force official sight.

Mission:
The Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is a weapon system designed to accomplish a difficult, complicated mission of reaching and destroying our adversaries' weapons of mass destruction located in well protected facilities. It is more powerful than its predecessor, the BLU-109.

Background:
Flight tests have been successfully conducted at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. MOP integration activities for initial weapon delivery are also complete. The Air Force is managing and funding the program at this time, with Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) providing support.

Early tests of MOP were conducted by DTRA under the MOP Technology Demonstration effort. These tests began in 2004 with DTRA partnering with the Air Force Research Laboratory. DTRA conducted flight tests from 2008 to 2010. In February 2010, the DTRA MOP Technology Demonstration transitioned to the Air Force as a Quick Reaction Capability Program. The tests are designed to test and demonstrate MOP capabilities to attack hard and deeply-buried facilities. The Air Force has had a long-standing requirement for this capability.

In 2009, Boeing was awarded the contracts to complete MOP/Aircraft integration. This entailed minor modifications to the MOP and to the aircraft. There were a total of 20 contracted.


That's not what was used. A Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) was what they went with, and it doesn't penetrate, it creates a ridiculous amount of air pressure to flatten shyt

well whats the use of calling it the most massive non-nuclear bomb? Why have all that mass if the destruction doesn't match?

It's not really meant to cause a lot of physical destruction. The initial blast will probably be ripping away any oxygen, while the massive pressure wave will flood through the tunnels. People inside will be rag-dolled and have collapsed/exploded lungs.

People keep complaining on some 'all that money spent coulda been spent on (insert whatever)'

People weren't saying that the last 8 years when your Obama was dropping them bombs on countries like Somalia

Its also funny in 2017 the same people who voted for Trump are still pretending to not like him
