Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power (ATBIP),[a] nicknamed "Father of All Bombs" (FOAB; Russian: "Папа всех бомб", Пвб[b]), is a Russian-designed, bomber-delivered thermobaric weapon.
This weapon was claimed to be the most powerful conventional (non-nuclear) weapon in the world, more powerful than GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast, which is often unofficially called "Mother of All Bombs" or MOAB.[1][2]
FOAB was successfully field-tested in the late evening of 11 September 2007.[3] As of 2022[update] it was the sole known test of this weapon and its details are still undisclosed.[4] Western experts questioned the evidence of its existence.
