US for First Time Drops Its Largest Non-Nuclear Moab Bomb on an Isis Target in Afghanistan

President Trump Smashes ISIS As Largest Non-nuclear Bomb in Combat Dropped

The Pentagon has confirmed that the US has dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in combat on the Nangarhar province in Afghanistan. The bomb was said to be twice that of the nuclear one that was dropped on Hiroshima.

THE MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS DROPPED ON NANGARHAR PROVINCE

The radius of the bomb was thought to be over a mile and it the bomb itself was described as being “the mother of all bombs”. This is the first time that the weapon has been used in combat and it is a huge statement from Trump that he is planning to keep to his promise of wiping ISIS from the face of the Earth.

An MC-130 aircraft was used to drop the bomb, which was said to have been operated by Air Force Special Operations Command. The bomb was 21,000lbs in weight and has left a crater that is thought to be over 300 meters wide. At this time it isn’t known if there are casualties, however, it was stated that if anyone was in the area they would have been vaporised.

Commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, Gen. John Nicholson, signed off for using the MOAB. This follows as fears over war reach fever pitch, as North Koreas Jong-Un is said to be on the brink of setting off a global conflict.

EVERY PREVENTION WAS TAKEN TO AVOID CASUALTY AMONG CIVILIANS

It was left to Sean Spicer, the White House secretary, to confirm the news of the bomb having being dropped. He said that the US had taken all necessary precautions to prevent casualties among civilians. However, he would not comment on whether the US would consider using the bomb on North Korea at some point in the future.

The bomb was deployed at 7.32pm local time in Nangarhar province in the Achin district, which is located in Eastern Afghanistan. The strike was said to have been designed to minimize the risk to US and Afghan Forces who were taking part in cleaning operations within the region, while at the same time maximising destruction of ISIS facilities and fighters.

ANYONE WITHIN A RANGE OF HUNDREDS OF METERS WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED

At this point, it isn’t clear just how much damage the bomb has caused. Col Rick Franona, a military analyst said that the bomb would have felt a like a nuclear weapon blast in the area. He went on to say that the pressure of it would have sent shockwaves through the tunnel systems, killing everyone. He said that anyone who was within a range of hundreds of meters when it dropped would have been killed.

The gaze of the world has been on Syria and Pyongyang, following the airstrike by the US on the territory of Bashar al-Assad. As the world is on the brink of war Rex Tillerson had been talking with Russian diplomats to try to calm down the situation. Vladimir Putin backs President Trump’s determination to defeat the cult, also known as Daesh. In January of this year Trump gave jihadis only 30 days and then he vowed to bomb them.

Trump has a foreign policy pledge that states "Pursue aggressive joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy ISIS”.

"International cooperation to cut off their funding, expand intelligence sharing, and cyber warfare to disrupt and disable their propaganda and recruiting.

"Defeat the ideology of radical Islamic terrorism just as we won the Cold War.”
