Father of All Bombs is a Russian-made air-delivered/land activated thermobaric weapon. In describing the bomb's destructive power, Russian deputy armed forces chief of staff Alexander Rukshin was quoted as saying, "all that is alive merely evaporates".
The bomb is reportedly four times as powerful as the U.S. military's GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB,ackronymed as the "Mother of All Bombs"). This would make it by far the most powerful conventional (non-nuclear) weapon in the world.
