Red Alert: U.S. Drops World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb Moments Ago in the Middle East (Videos)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

(N.Morgan) The US military has dropped a massive bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission. (Video Below)

The bomb – twice the size of the nuke dropped on Hiroshima – was dropped on Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, the Pentagon has confirmed.

The blast radius is believed to be over 300 meters and the weapon is described as “the father of all bombs”. (Video Below)

It comes as war fears reach fever pitch – with Kim Jong-un’s North Korea on the brink of sparking global conflict.

A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, nicknamed MOAB, was deployed 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.

The bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, operated by Air Force Special Operations Command, according to the military sources.

They said the target was ISIS tunnels and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province.

The military is currently assessing the damage. Gen. John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, signed off on the use of the bomb, according to the sources.

This is the first time a MOAB has been used in the battlefield, according to the US officials. This munition was developed during the Iraq War.

      Hello Angle#3,

      Charlie here. Yes, the MOAD bomb. The Mother Of All Doughnuts. We here at the factory created the LARGEST doughnut ever made to celebrate the coming victory and FALL of North Korea.

      Yes, we called it MOAD – The Mother Of All Doughnuts! It was so important that I, Charlie, was assigned to guard it last night. Now this morning it was GONE!! Now, I’m not saying I ate it but something happened!

      I swear it wasn’t me! :lol: :lol: <- :cool:

      We are currently reviewing the security cameras and we will keep you up to date.

      Signed,

      Charlie (reporting from the toilet) :lol: :lol:

    • 2QIK4U

      Once again they’re now in Syria this Time and bombing the wrong country. Remember 9,11 where bush said OSAMA was hiding in the Afghan mountains so they invade Iraq. Trump has betrayed you all. And I backed him to. :(

      It is a cap gun compared to a nuke. Lets hope it stays that way.

    • DISPENSER

      War should be fought to win, not drag on endlessly.
      War should be a rare, and horrible thing.
      War is meant to kill your enemies, and destroy things they need.
      We have had too many people, who felt war should not be won, but instead, continuous.

    • Syco247

      Who gives a damn, should have dropped 20 or 200, the only way the world will ever know peace is to erase the middle east or at least the stone age lunatics in it.

      Righteously Dividing The Enemy
      http://www.persecutionblog.com

      -Like Watching Noah’s Ark, “Mark 17 and 7,” like the days of Noah, Jesus, Mat. 24, and there was silence in heaven, Rev. 8:1, my prayer closet 1993, my people perish, GOH, Apb

      -As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Dan. 9:13

      How Long O Lord Will Thou Look on? Come Avenged Righteous Blood!

      -Jeremiah 37:8, 1998, America’s like King Belshazzar’s and the hand writing on the wall, (Dan. 5), forewarn nearly twenty years past, and only a couple years prior to those towers, going down. Those towers going down warn 1998, as a disaster on US soil, by an Arab enemy that went into the two part words War-Saw, said targets US soil would be further followed by an Asian enemy. By an Asian Invasion pending right this second US soil, that as well, went into the two part word, West Worthy. There is no more getting out of these come judgments than the people Ezekiel (eze. 7), forewarn of the same thing, an end has come upon the four corners not only of America but western civilization, the church age is ending as so are the systems allowed according to it, these two thousand years.
      -How soon do you guys forget? President Bush went over there, this predicted one error/era into a New Fear-factor, that soon a Hussein would be running the White House, there’s no wonder, playing God, sin casting out sin, what? Because Trumps bombs are bigger doesn’t matter, the more aggression the more dangerous this monster, don’t you get it? They’re appointed like the Chaldeans of Jeremiah to Ezekiel day to come and come and come no matter what!. What Jeremiah 37:8, 1998 forewarn, is of an enemy regiment that will remain focus on their target regardless of how mightily you war against them. It’s why I’ve seen it as a build up of torture vehicles for as far as the eyes could see, described by a US General as a dirty Mede. Further as a US General surrendered into the times of the prophet Jeremiah, this defeated, as cried his lamentations.
      -As so and most concerning, and I know I keep telling you so, but perhaps at one of these times finally you’ll see, hear, you’ll repent, it was when I witnessed as they were awarded diamond wedding rings for their efforts especially against the West, No body is winning this, this is a fight to the death and hell for as long as it targets the flesh and not the evil to demonic spirits influencing it. This deadly horde who’re only thrown down by human beings repentance to the redeeming Blood of Jesus’ Christ empowering them and overthrowing the true enemy, unholy spirits.
      -These evils don’t care if they die it’s their sworn allegiance to Allah their god, as long as they kill you and your souls all while doing it. Stop deceiving yourselves, stop deceiving others, Jesus alone has overcome this world. Sadly, His Arrival now this coupled wedding supper was after 100′s of millions were dead the Us and the world, I witness this. We, the born again, we’ve been taught better, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, instead taught to forgive, pray for and love our enemies all around the world causing them to renounce their heathen faith/fate, Jesus’ Cross fought and won this battle overcoming them by the spirit of prophecy, now fulfilled, since then, remember, ours is ascension to, with Him, Jesus, awake, Apb the Ram, see more here, http://www.americathewall.blogspot.com, see also, http://www.thelightofbeowulf2017.blogspot.com
