One word. MOAB. well, an acronym.
stands for 'Mother Of All Bombs'
If you've ever played C&C Generals, you will know how deadly this is to troops, tanks, aircraft etc.
And most large bombs, Nukes, DC's, etc. are detonated in the air, to create shockwaves and things, which creates more destuction, etc.
Either way, very cool.
