Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb

mahesh_gharat writes "Russia has tested the "Father of all bombs," a conventional air-delivered explosive that experts say can only be compared with a nuclear weapon in terms of its destructive power.The device is a fuel-air explosive, commonly known as a vacuum bomb, that spreads a high incendiary vapour cloud over a wide area and then ignites it, creating an ultra-sonic shock wave and searing fireball that destroys everything in its wake."

    "It is environmentally friendly, compared to a nuclear bomb..."

    Is this a joke? Kind of like "it's stable, compared to Windows."
