curious to know what type of fuel is used in the MOAB. I tried finding what type of fuel is used, but most if it is too high level e.g. how thermobaric weapons work and that multiple types of fuel can be used. or a lot of articles saying the afgan strike was barbaric *eyeroll*
Also anyone know about the different fuel types, advantages / disadvantages for thermobaric weapons?

MOAB is not thermobaric, it's filled with H6 (blend of RDX, TNT, aluminum and nitrocellulose).

comp H I believe is the name. In any case. Nice.

GBU-43 isn't a FAE
8500kg H-6
44.0% RDX
29.5% TNT
21.0% powdered aluminium
5.0% paraffin wax as a phlegmatizing agent.
0.5% calcium chloride
>For a better source than Wiki which has crap about RDX/nitrocellolose

Dev, maintenance and servicing, prep, fitting are all factored in. Unit price is much lower.
Also, private companies profiteering from the taxpayers coffers.

Developing and flight testing a guidance kit for a new uniquely shaped and weighted lump of steel and H-6 costs X million regardles of making one, or a couple of thousand.
Even more when it has to allow for sliding backwards out of a C130 and seperating from an oversized L-pallet

Wouldn't it have been more cost effective to just produce possibly improved daisy cutters? As far as I understand these are mostly psychological weapons scaring the enemy with big loud bang,
