"Test results of the new airborne weapon have shown that its efficiency and power is commensurate with a nuclear weapon," he said.

"The main destruction is inflicted by an ultrasonic shockwave and an incredibly high temperature," ORT added.

"All that is alive merely evaporates."

Despite its destructive qualities, the bomb is environmentally friendly, Gen Rushkin said.

The greenies will love this one

kind of scary really ex kgb involed with running the country ,what is the point with it all ? this is just going to end the world one day and there is only going to be whoever wins left ,but left what .. idoits in power with crazy ideas of taking over the world ,lieing to country saying we are looking after ourselfs ,,the amount of money these dickheads spend on blowing stuff up would fix alot of things in the world ,maybe not religon,
im in no way a greeny or a hater of guns and stuff but man this is just over the top power trippers trying to take on the world, not fixing anything for our kids in the future ,
you wonder if these guys have children ,theres something in commen with that aye ,the ones with peace agenders try doing good for the world and take part in the over all change ,and theres ones that just take over our lives and tell us what to do and spend money on defending or provoking war ..
i just hope my two boys dont have to pay the price one day for maybe 20 people that thought war is the only way of dealing with cr@p

There is alot of political tension but the underlying fact is that the US created this by building an anti-balistic missile defence system in Poland. Thats sort of where Russia is coming from when they bring back incursions from the cold war its like a peaceful protest. And they also aren't happy with alot of ex-soviet states joining NATO. The real reason for such a defence system is because of Irans nuclear program which is a world wide threat to the west and all of Irans neighbours but Iran is a big supplier of oil to Russia as well so thats whats really happening. As for the FOAB well look at the US the MOAB holds the record of being the biggest bomb up till now with the shortest service life. Such weapons are quite impractical in warfare since the majority of conflicts call for precision bombing on small targets rather than one big bomb for lots of targets. Also both require delivery from a slow moving transport aircraft which in aircombat are very vulnerable to AAA and SAMs which is probably why the MOAB is no longer in service.
