Sep 11 - Russia tests what it says is the world's most powerful vacuum bomb.
It is an explosive device that unleashes a shockwave with the power of a nuclear weapon.

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

The FOAB (Father Of All Bombs) in response to the americans' MOAB, and to flex some military muscle. What's next, the GOAB?

Some very interesting overt military news coming out of Russia the last couple of weeks.....resumed bomber flights.....even ones that feint at international borders...this new bomb....and I read an interesting article in yesterday's NY Times (too bad their so tight with their on-line content) regarding commercial flights into Chechnya. It seems that the war there is either won, under control or restricted to the hinterlands. Some of this Russian activity could be related to no longer needing the forces to man that area.All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.

It's a thermobaric bomb.
A thermobaric weapon works by first dispersing a cloud of powder or liquid explosive using a small charge, then igniting it with a second charge.
The weapon consists of a container of either a volatile liquid or a finely powdered solid, which could be an explosive or metal powder, and two separate explosive charges.
The weapon is initiated upon dropping or firing, and the first explosive charge (or some other dispersal mechanism) bursts open the container at a predetermined height and disperses the fuel in a cloud that mixes with atmospheric oxygen. Once the fuel is appropriately mixed, the second charge detonates, propagating an explosion (blast wave) through the cloud.
Newer types of thermobaric weapons do not disperse the fuel before igniting it, but are single-stage bombs having one explosive charge that both ignites and disperses the fuel.0 -
Yay more weapons!!

Damn good thing Putin dissolved the Russian government.Turn this anger into

i think they are flexing their muscles because they know that soon it is on with Iran. and if we go into Iran, Russia and China are coming to the party on Iran's behalf.

Russia also dissolved Parliament today and another of Putin's cronies was named PM. Also the event last week of them being chased by scrambling UK and Danish warplanes does not speak of cooperation and responsible government.0
