Last week Russian military successfully tested the world's most powerful non-nuclear air-delivered bomb. Nicknamed, "dad of all bombs" is believed to be four times more powerful than the U.S. "mother of all bombs."
"The tests have shown that the new air-delivered ordnance is comparable to a nuclear weapon in its efficiency and capability," said Col.-Gen. Alexander Rukshin, a deputy chief of the Russian military's General Staff.
And unlike a nuclear bomb this ones green, it doesn’t hurt the environment....... unless of course it lands on you!

Yess the vacuum bomb technology is qutite fascinating :) For those who wanna know,
The principle of action of a vacuum bomb consists in the following: in air the cloud from the sprayed combustible substance blows up. The basic destructions are made with a supersonic air shock wave and incredible heat. The ground because of it after explosion is more similar to a lunar ground, but there is no either chemical, or a radioactive pollution.

Thanks for the interesting info on vacuum bombs BadZeD, it's fascinating stuff!
I still don’t think I’d want one to be dropped anywhere near me no matter the lack of radiation ;)
Do hope all this talk of bombs doesn't start another war. At least we know these ones are real, unlike the Weapons of Mass Destruction…..
