Russia's attack against Ukraine has intensified. In this war, Russia has to face strong resistance from Ukraine. British media have feared that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use one of his deadliest weapons, the 'Father of All Bombs', to bring Ukraine to its knees early in the war.
What is Russia's father of all bombs?
This bomb of Russia is called the Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power (ATBIP). Although it is not a nuclear bomb, it causes a lot of destruction.
Developed by Russia in 2007, this deadly bomb can explode 44 tons of TNT. This bomb can destroy the area of 300 meters around it.
The weight of this bomb is about 15,560 pounds or about 7,100 kilograms.
This bomb is a thermobaric weapon, also known as an aerosol bomb, vacuum bomb, or fuel-air explosive.
This deadly bomb of Russia is about four times more powerful than America's 'Mother of All Bombs'.
How does Father of All Bombs work?
The specialty of this bomb is that it absorbs the oxygen present in the atmosphere and explodes above the ground.
The explosion of this bomb produces high temperature and supersonic explosive waves or shock waves, which can destroy everything including buildings and humans in its path.
This deadly bomb is dropped from a jet, causing it to explode in the air at a height of a few feet above the ground and inflict as much damage as a small nuclear bomb.
Its use generates unlimited energy and heat, which can turn the living things around it into ashes in an instant.
These 'vacuum bombs' are capable of turning human bodies into steam and cities into rubble.
What is a thermobaric weapon or a bomb?
Russia's Father of All Bombs and America's Mother of All Bombs are lethal versions of thermobaric weapons.
The development of thermobaric weapons was started by the Soviet Union and the United States in the 1960s.
Thermobaric bombs use the oxygen present in the surrounding air to produce high-temperature explosions.
Thermobaric bombs produce many times more energy and shock waves than ordinary explosives.
Thermobaric bombs cannot be used underwater, at high altitudes, and in adverse weather conditions.
These bombs are used to destroy fortifications, tunnels, bunkers, caves. This bomb can cause more destruction in urban areas.
Russia has used this deadly bomb
Russia is accused of using its Father of All Bombs in Syria in 2016.
Russia has been accused of using these bombs not only against Syria but also against Chechnya.
It is believed that Russia can also use these bombs to win the war against Ukraine.
The Independent quoted Professor Peter Lee of the University of Portsmouth as describing how these deadly bombs caused havoc in Syria.
Lee says imagine you take a deep breath and take a dip in the water. Suddenly you feel that all the oxygen in your body has been stopped. You try to breathe again, but your lungs are filled with toxic and flammable particles instead of cold water, killing you from the inside out. This bomb also creates a similar problem.
America has 'Mother of All Bombs'
The US has the world's second-deadliest non-nuclear bomb, which is called the 'Mother of All Bombs' or MOAB i.e. Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb.
America first tested Mother of All Bombs in 2003 in Florida. It is officially called GBU-43.
America's Mother of All Bomb weighs 21,600 pounds or about 10 thousand kilograms.
This American bomb explodes with the power of 11 tons of TNT and can destroy objects within a radius of 150 to 300 meters.
The cost of a Mother of All Bombs of America is about $ 16 million, i.e. 120 crores.
Mother of All Bombs was used by the US on ISIS bases in Nangarhar, Afghanistan in 2017. The US never said how many people died in Afghanistan.
In 2002, the US also used bombs of almost similar strength on the Tora Bora hills of Afghanistan in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Osama bin Laden.
China made Xian H-6K in response to America
China developed a deadly bomb named Xian H-6K in 2019 in response to America's Mother of All Bombs.
The Chinese government claims that its Xian H-6K bomb can destroy any building or military installation.
What does TNT reveal in a bomb blast?
TNT or Trinitrotoluene is a chemical used as an explosive.
The TNT equivalent is used to describe the energy produced by a bomb blast or the power of the blast.
This allows the energy produced by nuclear bombs or large explosions to be expressed in equivalent weight to the conventional chemical explosive TNT.
For example, 64 kg of uranium was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945, but the energy produced was equivalent to 15-kilo tons or 15 thousand kg of TNT.
A ton is a unit of TNT energy, which is the estimated energy released by the detonation of 1,000 kilograms of TNT.
