         The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB pronounced / ˈmoʊ.æb/ , commonly known as the Mother of All Bombs ) is a large-yield bomb, developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts, Jr. of the Air Force Research Laboratory. [1] At the time of development, it was touted as the most powerful non- nuclear weapon in the American arsenal. [2] The bomb is designed to be delivered by a C-130 Hercules , primarily the MC-130E Combat Talon I or MC-130H Combat Talon II variants.
The first operational usage of the MOAB was during the 13 April 2017 airstrike against Islamic State of Iraq and Syria militants in Afghanistan. [3]
In 2007, the Russian military announced that they had tested a
thermobaric weapon nicknamed the "Father of All Bombs "[4] ; the weapon is claimed to be four times as powerful as the MOAB. [5][2] The MOAB is the most powerful conventional bomb ever used in combat. [6][7]
