The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB ) commonly known as the Mother of All Bombs, is a large-yield bomb, developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts, Jr. of the Air Force Research Laboratory. The bomb is designed to be delivered by a C-130 Hercules, primarily the MC-130E Combat Talon I or MC-130H Combat Talon II variants.
The MOAB was first dropped in combat in the 13 April 2017 airstrike against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants in Afghanistan.
