Army ‘vacuum’ missile hits Taliban

Posted by Matt in June 23rd, 2008

British forces in Afghanistan have used one of the world’s most deadly and controversial missiles to fight the Taliban.

Apache attack helicopters have fired the thermobaric weapons against fighters in buildings and caves, to create a pressure wave which sucks the air out of victims, shreds their internal organs and crushes their bodies.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has admitted to the use of the weapons, condemned by human rights groups as “brutal”, on several occasions, including against a cave complex.

THE FATHER OF ALL BOMBS: RUSSIAN MIGHT (WITH SLOW-MOTIONS)
On September 11, 2007, a Russian Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bomber deployed a 7.8-tonne thermobaric bomb. It exploded above the target, and proved to be the world's most powerful conventional bomb. Compared to the GBU-43 MOAB (the world's largest conventional bomb), it produced a blast radius twice as large (300 meters). The Russian "Father Of All Bombs" (FOAB) managed to produce the energy of 44 tonnes of TNT from only 7.8 tonnes of a new type of explosive developed using nanotechnology. The MOAB was able to produce the energy of 11 tonnes of TNT from 8 tonnes of tritonal high-explosive. The Russian FOAB can produce a shockwave as powerful as the blast wave generated by a nuclear weapon. How? Because it was a vacuum bomb, or fuel-air bomb. Fuel-air (or thermobaric) bombs work in two stages....

world's biggest non-nuclear bomb ! Russian Daddy of all bomb
Heard about Mother of all bombs Moab? Well Russian have invented the Father of All Bombs! This Russians are saying "It contains about seven tons of high explosives compared with more than eight for the Moab but is four times more powerful because it uses a new type of explosives developed with the use of nanotechnology"
