I thought they had systems to drop them from Bombers now not just C130's.

The American GBU is nicknamed MOAB or the MOTHER Of All Bombs.

Russia has FOAB, a rather nasty thermobaric bomb

Well,whatever you want to call it,she was one hell of a bang. I was surprised that CBC interviewed and broadcast Harmid Karzai's comments that the US shouldn't have dropped it and how bad he thought it was. That SOB sure wasn't talking like that when the Taliban had a price on his head and the US,Canada,Germany and France poured troops and a weaponry into his country to protect is him and his people. People like him make me wonder why we even bother.

The British during the later stages of WW2 had a bomb called the Grand Slam which weighed in at 22,000 lbs, had an armored nose cone and was very aerodynamically designed, that when dropped it hit supersonic speeds before impact. so in that respect they were 70 years ahead of the MOAB. Might not have been as precise in pin point accuracy but everybit as devastating.

They were very pin point accuracy designed to hit a single ship or structure from a bomber's Maximum Altitude. They have pictures of the "Bomb girls" pouring the explosive charge in to them one bucket at a time.
One thing the Germans really did not want to see overhead.
