US MOAB cannot destroy Iranian nuclear sites
Reports have indicated that the U.S. military is considering the use of the GBU-43/B bomb, known as "The Mother of All Bombs," as a deterrent message against Iran, rather than as a means of full destruction of its nuclear facilities. The bomb weighs approximately 10 tons and contains 8.5 tons of explosives, capable of causing complete destruction within a 150-meter radius, along with injuries and damage to surrounding areas. However, it is unable to penetrate deeply into fortified nuclear infrastructure, which limits its effectiveness against hardened nuclear sites. Its deployment requires absolute air superiority when dropped from a heavy transport aircraft, raising questions about its strategic viability in potential operations, especially if combat activities resume.
