What is MOAB?

MOAB is like having the biggest, loudest, most powerful toy on the playground, and it’s used by grown-ups to do really big jobs.

MOAB stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast, which means it's a super strong bomb that can be dropped from an airplane. When it explodes, it creates a huge shockwave, like when you blow up a balloon full of air and let it go really fast.

Imagine stacking 12 school buses on top of each other, that’s about how big MOAB is! It’s also super heavy, like carrying around a whole bunch of backpacks filled with books. When it goes off, it can knock down buildings and make a really loud boom that you can feel all the way across town.

Grown-ups use MOAB when they need to do something really big, like clearing out a place where people are hiding or making a big mess so they can fix things later. It’s like using a giant hammer to break open a really tough nut, except the nut is a whole building!
