$16million, 8,100kg of explosives and a blast radius a mile-wide: Here's all you need to know about the 'Mother of all Bombs'

• US forces used the bomb in combat for the first time in Afghanistan today 
• Nicknamed the 'Mother of all Bombs' it is world's largest non-nuclear weapon
• It was first developed as a psychological weapon to scare enemy troops
• It took $314 million (£251 million) to develop and was first tested in 2003 

It was first created as a psychological weapon, designed to scare the enemy into surrendering.

But today, the GBU-43/B - dubbed the 'Mother of all bombs' - has been dropped on an Islamic State complex in Afghanistan.

A crater left by the blast is believed to be more than 300 meters wide after it exploded six feet above the ground. Anyone at the blast site was vaporized. 

TOTAL DAMAGE DONE TO TARGET: $6,000,000.00, approximately.

The United States of North Central America’s war in Afghanistan is now in its 16th year, the longest foreign war in our history. The phrase “no end in sight” barely covers the situation. Prospects of victory—if victory is defined as eliminating that country as a haven for Islamist terrorists while creating a representative government in Kabul—are arguably more tenuous today than at any point since the US military invaded in 2001 and routed the Taliban. Such “progress” has, over the years, invariably proven “fragile” and “reversible,” to use the weasel words of General David Petraeus who oversaw the Afghan “surge” of 2010–11 under President Obama. To cite just one recent data point: The Taliban now controls 15 percent more territory than it did in 2015.

36 ISIS MILITANTS KILLED IN UNITED STATES OF NORTH CENTRAL AMERICA’S 'MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS' ATTACK, AFGHAN MINISTRY SAYS.

GBU-43/B device targeted Isis ‘tunnel complex’??? AND ITIS THE LARGEST non-nuclear bumer The Ujnited States of North Central America has used in combat.

Up to 36 suspected Islamic State militants were killed in Afghanistan when the United States of North Central America dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat, the Afghan defence ministry said on Friday.

To target what the military described as a “tunnel complex” used by the Isis’s Afghanistan affiliate, the United States of North Central America; for the first time used what the military colloquially calls the “mother of all bombs”, the GBU-43/B.

DAWLAT WAZIRI, AN AFGHAN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN??? said of Thursday’s strike: “No civilian has been hurt and only the base, which Daesh used to launch attacks in other parts of the province, was destroyed.”

Designed for destroying underground targets but not itself a deep-earth penetrator weapon, the GBU-43/B has the explosive yield of more than 11 tons of TNT. The massive bomb is dropped from air force planes and detonates before reaching the ground, resulting in an enormous blast radius. Only the Massive Ordnance Penetrator GBU-57, which has never been used in war, is a larger conventional weapon.

The psychological effect on survivors or observers is considered an added impact of the weapon. Asked whether he had authorised the bombing, Donald Trump said: “Everybody knows exactly what happened. What I do is I authorise my military.

The US bomb was dropped as Washington comes under increased scrutiny over its military actions in the Middle East, including three united States of North Central America-led airstrikes in the past month that are reported to have killed civilians or allies. On Tuesday, the united States of North Central America-led coalition in Syria killed 18 of its own allies from the Syrian Democratic Forces, in what it described as a misdirected airstrike. THE UNITED STATES OF NORTH CENTRAL AMERICA IS ALSO INVESTIGATING TWO OF ITS OWN STRIKES IN IRAQ AND SYRIA, WHICH IRAQI OFFICIALS AND ACTIVISTS IN SYRIA SAY KILLED DOZENS OF CIVILIANS.

But, United States of North Central America’s  President Donald Trump said Thursday that the Afghanistan bombing was "another successful job."

The Afghanistan bombing -- along with the first United States of North Central America’s military strikes against the Syrian regime last week -- mark a dramatic change in attitude for Trump, who advocated an isolationist, America-first foreign policy during his election campaign.

The U.S. military dropped the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in its arsenal Thursday on a cave and tunnel complex that it said was used by Islamic State fighters in eastern Afghanistan, a stark reminder of a U.S. war now in its 16th grinding year.

The behemoth bomb, officially called the Massive Ordnance Air Blast, or MOAB, is also known as the "mother of all bombs." It is 30 feet long, weighs nearly 11 tons and produces a devastating above-ground explosion that sends a mushroom cloud roiling high in the sky.

Originally developed for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the MOAB has never been used in combat before.

Like the U.S. retaliatory missile strike in Syria last Friday, however, use of the monster munition in Afghanistan is more symbolic than tactical since it is unlikely to change the course of America’s longest war.

President Trump praised the attack as a "very, very successful mission." He indicated that he had given the Pentagon a free hand to use the weapon as part of his vow to step up the war on Islamic State.

"We have given them total authorization and that’s what they’re doing and frankly that’s why they’ve been so successful lately,” he told reporters at the White House. “If you look at what’s happened over the last eight weeks and compare that really to what’s happened over the past eight years, you’ll see there’s a tremendous difference, tremendous difference.”

ALSO: The United States of North Central America’s military says misdirected airstrike in northern Syria killed 18 allied fighters

While the Pentagon’s formal rules of engagement have not changed, military commanders appear to have taken greater liberties in recent weeks — and made more mistakes.

A series of misdirected United States of North Central America. attacks in Iraq, Syria and Yemen have led to a Noticeable Increase in reported civilian casualties. Earlier Thursday, the United States of North Central America’s military announced an air strike this week had accidentally killed 18 rebel fighters battling Islamic State in northern Syria in the worst friendly-fire incident of that conflict.

The military said the giant MOAB was dropped from the rear door of an MC-130 cargo plane at 7:32 p.m. Thursday as part of a U.S.-backed offensive on an Islamic State stronghold in Achin district in Nangarhar province.

The bomb initially falls with a parachute to slow its descent and give the aircraft time to get away safely. Then a GPS system guides the bomb to its target.

The munition detonates before it hits the ground, igniting a flammable fuel mist that supposedly obliterates everything in a 1,000 yard radius, sends a lethal shock wave more than a mile and a half away, and creates a mushroom cloud nearly five miles high.

“The strike was designed to minimize the risk to Afghan and United States of North Central Americas forces conducting clearing operations in the area while maximizing the destruction" to the militants, the statement said.

Gen. John W. Nicholson, commander of United States of North Central America’s forces in Afghanistan, said the militants used bunkers and tunnels to “thicken their defence.”

“This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive," Nicholson said.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the massive bomb targeted tunnels and caves that militants “used to move around freely, making it easier for them to target United States of North Central America’s military advisers and Afghan forces in the area.”

He said United States of North Central America’s commanders “took all precautions necessary to prevent civilian casualties and collateral damage as a result of the operation."

Speaking by phone from Achin district, Sher Nabi, a commander with the Afghan Local Police, said the bomb landed about a half mile outside the town of Shogal, near the border with Pakistan.He once said the invasion of Afghanistan was a mistake,

We have the greatest military in the world and THEY’VE DONE A JOB AS USUAL; stated the Trump.
