![]() Not to start a debate but it seems your definition of what a "Barrel Bomb" is differs considerably from what the common definition is. The MOAB recently used is far from being a "Barrel bomb". Here's Wiki's definition of a barrel bomb: "A barrel bomb is an improvised unguided bomb, sometimes described as a flying IED (improvised explosive device). They are typically made from a large barrel-shaped metal container that has been filled with high explosives, possibly shrapnel, oil or chemicals as well, and then dropped from a helicopter or airplane.[1] Due to the large amount of explosives (up 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb)), their poor accuracy and indiscriminate use in populated civilian areas (including refugee camps), the resulting detonations have been devastating.[2][3][4] Critics have characterised them as weapons of terror and illegal under international conventions". I don't know why you think the MOAB use is a "barrel bomb". |
