CNN told about the Russian "father of all bombs"

[signature200]

In 2007, Russia created a super-powerful bomb which is called the "father of all bombs". The Russian military say that this is the most powerful thermobaric bomb of this kind. It is four times more powerful than the American "mother of all bombs", the biggest non-nuclear bomb in the U.S. Arsenal.
"We believe that it is real. This is subject to their technological capabilities," said retired Colonel Rick Francona, a military analyst and former military attache of the USA in Syria.
It is noted that this bomb has never been used in combat. Russia announced that the bomb was first tested in 2007. In a national broadcast, which aired on 11 September 2007, Deputy chief of the General staff of the Russian Armed forces at the time Alexander Rukshin said that is the first test of a new bomb.
"The results of the tests of this aircraft ammunition showed that it can be compared with nuclear weapons in its efficiency and capabilities. At the same time I do want to emphasize that the impact of this ammunition does not pollute the environment in any way compared to the nuclear warhead," said Rukshin.
Alexander Mozgovoy, editor of the Russian magazine "national defense" said that the video shown on the First channel is accurate. He also believes that Russia may have been created more than one "father of all bombs", as well as the United States has created several "mothers of all bombs."

Wasn't aware that they had the lead  on thermobarics as well.. Was aware they had that ungodly ass nuke, tsar bomb or some shit, that they haven't even tested at full strength. And it's monster.

Given the attitude from.that camp,ayne we really,.really should.chill.the fuck out on all this war rhetoric. And we need to unilaterally outlaw.the production of nuclear.weapons. Issac Asimov had it right. We are playing God with the levels of force we wield against our fellow.humans. Decency be damned. It's about efficiency now, and there is little morality in cold efficiency.

This is good news. The fact that another country has a larger non-nuclear weapon than America brings hope to the belief (held by some more than others) that America is not actually a warmonger. At least not as big as some would try to make others believe.

I wonder if test videos of the Father exist online somewhere?

Your argument makes no sense. Close to 10 nations in the world are having nuclear weapons right now, including North Korea and Pakistan. Out of these nations, only one has actually used them against the civilian population. So who is the warmonger here? The Americans have done something which even the North Koreans hasn't done.

[Mometaskers]

But how does it stand up to the mother-in-law of all bombs? Or NoKor's eternal grandfather of all bombs? 

There seem to be muscle-flexing from both sides, with reports saying Russia is moving forces in anticipation of an attack on North Korea. That would have been fine if it's all muscle-flexing but no, one miscalculation could result in total war. It also doesn't help that at least 2 of the world leaders concerned have itchy, little fingers.

indeed. Reading all these articles would make one anxious as to how all these would play out. I think it's pretty much between us, china and Russia here with north Korea just in the side picture as we all know it's really defenseless once the us pounce on it. Hopefully though things will deescalate as it's really frightening to imagine how a nuke war can affect all of us

You are not right. Firstly when was this? Then there was a war and the Americans use nuclear weapons on the territory of the enemy has saved many lives of his soldiers. All countries that have nuclear weapons and now promise to do so. Secondly, the Americans did not know all the consequences of nuclear war and their actions in 1945 prevented the next war with use of nuclear weapons.

[ImHash]

Does it really matter who has what and who does what? ever since the cold war and SU falling apart Russian haven't attacked any other country unlike USA, they have attacked VN/ Afgh/ Iraq/ Syria and dozens of other countries, I wonder which country we should trust more with having mass destruction weapons, the one which never used them on anyone or the one raining bombs like fire cracker?

[Saitekman12345]

The US is doomed. I just wonder how many nukes they have vs what is recorded. Well either way it's still more than any other country. Get ready for WW3

[ahoenk]

americans and russians act like a children, they shows their power for what ? its just looked like children shows his power or toys to another children

The problem with flexing your muscles is that at some point you end up using those muscles and the only thing needed is a little mistake an the world as we know it will come to an end.

You are factually incorrect. Japan was preparing for surrender when the Americans dropped those bombs and obliterated half a million people. It was a crime against humanity, and there was no need for that.

We should know that this nuclear weapons are not going to be against spirit, Animals and mountain or ocean but against human beings that carry flesh and blood. This politicians using technology to destroy humanity should not be allowed to continue be it American and Russian. Good people all over the world should keep preaching peace, equity, and fairness and you will see that all this weapons will come to nut. Finally both America leaders and Russia leaders are guilty of warmongers.

Indeed. These nuclear armed nations are holding the world hostage. Especially since little fingers and chub mickey are itching to see who have the longer weiner. Hopefully at this point in time it is already clear to everyone that the regime in North Korea is destabilizing the region. China has basically been propping up the Kims in exchange for resources for decades, but now their hurting China's business. With PROC in a slump the last thing it wants is its neighbor shooting rockets into the sky.

Maybe they can just kick the Kims out an install a new family in their place? It's unlikely China would work with the US on finding a replacement. Much unlikely is that it'll enjoy seeing reunification.

I wouldn't know why'd it be good to think that just because two countries have something it's fine for them to both have it. I think most countries do have an arsenal with bombs of this size anyway, it's not like they're using them all the time but when they do it's something that's documented.

I don't know if CNN was showing a video of the MOAB on their snap-chat story thing when they were talking about the Russian one because I think it was supposed to be 4x as large.

The US is doomed. I just wonder how many nukes they have vs what is recorded. Well either way it's still more than any other country. Get ready for WW3

We have the better nukes bud, Russians have old military equipment and haven't updated in a long time. Do you see some of the tech the US has at the moment?

All always hide the best weapons to have not found protection against it. Only bombs can be used with aircraft, and it is the most vulnerable form of delivery of explosives.

I somewhat agree with you. The existence of the nuclear warheads is a major threat for the continuation of life on this planet. All of the nuclear powers must reach an agreement to convert their nuclear weapons to reactor fuel. After all, they have devastating non-nuclear weapons such as the MOAB and the FOAB. Why do they need the nukes?

The number of nukes each nation possess does not matter at all, these two countries have between them enough nukes to level the entire world and humanity is rather doomed.

In fact, this method of war as the bombing is very risky. Heavy bombers are very slow and malomanevrenny. They represent easy prey for enemy air defenses. I very much doubt that at least one bomber will fly to the target in Russia or America if between them will be military conflict.

The Russian has never valued the lives of their soldiers. Not a problem for them to fight for a few months during which killed several thousand soldiers. Americans do not fight. They did the right thing. It was a blow at the enemy. When the Russians completely destroyed the city of Grozny you have experienced?
