Lying phone, your probably right, math is not my strong suit!Bitter Clinger wrote:parabelum wrote:BHill wrote:crazy2medic wrote:Just a FYI, this thing generates 142 psi of overpressure, that is 1,308,672 psi in a 4'×8' area!
Not sure your math is correct. 48*96*142 = 652,336 pounds and remains 142 psi regardless of square inches. Still a tremendous amount.psi is psi. Dimensional analysis rules apply. 10X atmospheric.

15 M.O.A.B. bombs produced in 2003.
15 year operational shelf life on said bombs.
It's going to be an interesting year.

I think it was more of a play on Eastern hyperbole. "Mother of all battles" or one on the oldest examples where speaking of KSA, "Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth."

I've read the Wikipedia articles also.Keith B wrote:The MOP is only heavier by weight due to the thick steel needed to penetrate concrete. The blast is what makes the MOAB the Mother Of All (non-nuclear) Bombs. The MOP's blast is less than 20% by weight of the bomb, compared to almost 90% of the MOAB. Much bigger boom per pound than a MOP.mojo84 wrote:
Whether it is technically a MOAB or MOP, they both can be used for similar purpose which is bunker busting. Regardless, my point is the sensationalism of calling it the "mother of all bombs" is thick. Especially since the MOP is bigger. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive ... Penetrator
G26ster, that's what.
