First combat use of MOAB, largest non-nuclear bomb in US arsenal, on Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan
CNN reports, [cnn.com]
The US military has dropped an enormous bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission.
A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, nicknamed MOAB, was dropped at 7 p.m. local time Thursday, the sources said.
The MOAB is also known as the "mother of all bombs." A MOAB is a 21,600-pound, GPS-guided munition that is America's most powerful non-nuclear bomb.
Tomorrow will be cancelled due to lack of interest.
