Will the “Mother Of All Bombs” bother the PIN countries? So, the “Mother Of All Bombs” has arrived in the form of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb. Weighing in at around 10 tons, it is indeed a heavyweight among conventional ordnance. Some commentators have hinted that its use in Afghanistan could be a warning against nuclear adventurism by countries like Pakistan , Iran & North Korea . Really??? That’s a canard if ever there was one. The MOAB is rather large….it apparently rests on a pallet which is then dragged out from the belly of the attacking aircraft with the help of a chute. Definitely not a manoeuvre any fighter aircraft would either be able to or even willing to attempt! In fact, in this case it was apparently dropped by a relatively slow-moving C130 aircraft. Bear in mind...
