Video Footage Showing the Damage From the MOAB Strike! Mother of all Bomb Drops

FighterSweep Staff 6 Comments Afghanistan, Air Force, Military Aviation, News, Photos, Video

This is reportedly actual video footage of the blast area in Afghanistan from the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb dropped by the US recently.

If you recall the US military targeted  ISIS tunnels and caves with the 30 foot long bomb that weighs over 21,000 pounds. The Massive Ordnance Air Burst weapon often called “MOAB” or “Mother of all Bombs” was dropped from a C-130. It is the largest non-nuclear bomb the United States has and was only used once before during a test drop back in 2003.
