If we'd be using it for psychological effect, it would be against the IRGC rank and file. Some reports of infighting and shortage of food and money, then getting a MOAB dropped on you at will from a US cargo plane? Yeah, that would tend to take the fight and caring about Mullahs out of most grunts I would think.

Its the wrong tool for any job that needs doing over there right now. Its a humongous air burst bomb. It would be ineffective against any hardened or underground facility and collateral damage would be massive anywhere near any population.


Moabs would be effective on cave and tunnel entrances.

Pickaxe mountain will require piggy backing bunker busters.

It will be a bombing campaign not just one Moab

Probably a good thing that our media is not publicizing our targets a month in advance, don’t ya think?

Changing the subject a bit, but can someone explain to me why we have not dropped heavy bombs on Pickax Mountain yet. What are we waiting on?

MOAB was called a Free Air Explosive [FAE bomb] in the 1975 period. At that time ethylene oxide was used as the combustable. I saw a video of a test somewhere in the Florida pan handle. Test was a bunch of sheep tied to pine trees over a football field sized area. Sheep were dead from shock wave, pine trees were still standing.


MOAB is an anti personnel bomb

Unlike the US they dont ship weapons by the billions free, and Iran has no cash.
