Showing the orange-painted U.S. prototype, the report said the Russian bomb was four times more powerful -- 44 tonnes of TNT equivalent -- and the temperature at the epicentre of its blast was two times higher.--uk.news.yahoo.com/
And it was only 50 megatons because they put lead into it to slow down half the neutrons. In theory, it could have hit 100megatons! Pure gold!Originally posted by allentyb:that is not father of all bombs

MOAB explodes in the air to reveal thousands of mini bombs, each able to destroy a tank and each mini bomb is equipped with radar sensor, targeting individual targets themselves and covers a huge radius...
not those conventional big blast bomb.
and if that ever happens I'll be the first to say you were rightOriginally posted by frakfrakfrak:This is what Americans say when they lose big time
