Russia to use ‘father of all bombs’ to crumble Ukraine; deadliest weapon world has ever seen

KYIV: Russia is intensifying its Ukraine invasion and is all set to encircle the country’s capital Kyiv. However, Ukraine has said that it will not retreat and would continue to defend until Russia ends the attack. Russia has strengthened its bombings and missile strikes. Meanwhile, the world nations are worried if Russia will use 'Father Of All Bombs' (FOAB), the deadliest Russian-built non-nuclear bomb, in the war.

The British media had reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to use the 'Father Of All Bombs' in the war against Ukraine. Reports suggest that the Russian president has ordered his soldiers to use it. FOAB is also known as the ‘Monster Bomb’. It is a thermo baric super-powerful non-nuclear bomb that has a blast equivalent to more than 44 tons of TNT. It can cause damage in a radius of 300 meters. When dropped from a jet, it can produce similar effects as that of a small tactical nuclear weapon. As per international media reports, Russia had developed FOAB in 2007 and claims to have used it against Syria.

It is four times more powerful than the United States' Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB). The US had used MOAB against the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2017.
