The “dad of all bombs” has been tested and is reported to be four times as strong as the “mother of all bombs” which belongs to the USA. Russia is the owner of the “dad of all bombs” and this is the second test they have done that shows that it is the biggest and baddest bomb made.
CNN reported in a test done in 2003 “‘thermobaric’ weapon that explodes in an intense fireball combined with a devastating blast. It explodes in a terrifying nuclear bomb-like mushroom cloud and wreaks destruction through a massive shock wave created by the air burst and high temperature.” In a recent test CNN also reported, “the bomb dropped by parachute from a Tu-160 strategic bomber and exploding in a massive fireball. It featured the debris of apartment buildings and armored vehicles at a test range, as well as the scorched ground from a massive blast.”

DOAB - Dad of all Bombs
7.8 tons of explosive
4 times more powerful than MOAB
Equivalent to 44 tons of TNT
MOAB - Mother of all Bombs
8 tons of explosive
4 times less powerful than DOAB
Equivalent to 11 tons of TNT

So this bomb is incredibly powerful, but has no environmental damage. The blast radius is 990 feet, and that is twice the radius of the MOAB. Col.-Gen. Alexander Rukshin said the weapon was created to, “allow the military to ‘protect the nation’s security and confront international terrorism in any situation and any region.’”
