Russia announced the test of their "The Father of All Bombs", claimed
to be much more powerful than the U.S. MOAB, Mother of All Bombs. The Tu-160 supersonic bomber that dropped the bomb, widely known under its NATO nickname of "Blackjack", is the heaviest combat aircraft ever built
This explosion generates a pressure wave that reaches much further than that from a conventional explosive. The consumption of gases in the blast also generates a partial vacuum that can compound damage and injuries caused by the explosion itself."The main destruction is inflicted by an ultrasonic shockwave and an incredibly high temperature," the reports said. "All that is alive merely evaporates."
Rukshin said: "At the same time, I want to stress that the action of this weapon does not contaminate the environment, in contrast to a nuclear one."

Greetings Sth
When I first saw the headline, I thought it was about an EMP or electromagnetic pulse. I'm not familiar
with a vacuum bomb. I thought about uploading the video, but it wouldn't work. Oh well.
Shock waves with high temperature is nasty stuff.

interesting story

merrie, the timing of this announcement seems coordinated with Putin's move today to dissolve the government. Mother Russia is clearly flexing her muscles.
