Re: MOAB

Am I the only one who thinks "Easter Jeep Safari" when I see the title of this thread?

I want to say I remember hearing about this device being tested around Florida and how people initially thought it had been a small nuclear device. When deployed against tunnel systems such as those in Afghanistan these devices actually do three things. They force over-pressured hot oxygen depleted air into the cave system. They then suck all of that back out. Finally they physically crush large areas of the cave system. Any combustible material in the cave system usually catches fire, living organisms usually suffocate and/or burn, and anything fragile will usually be destroyed. Ammunition and explosives are usually set off while tools and weapons that are machined for precision work are usually warped rendering them useless or less effective at best. These air/fuel weapons are truly better against cave systems than a bunker buster type weapon and can effectively cause damage miles away from the blast point inside the cave system.
