Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb

The Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) (colloquially known as the Mother Of All Bombs) is a large-yield conventional bomb developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts Jr. It is touted as the most powerful non-nuclear weapon ever designed[citation needed], although the bunker-busting T12 was much heavier and carried almost as much explosive.[1] It is also designated as the GBU-43/B. The bomb was designed to be delivered by a C-130.
