China’s got a brand new bomb — and it’s huge.

Axar.az reports citing Xinhua.

The rising superpower has showcased a powerful heavy weapon that’s been dubbed a Chinese version of the United States’ “Mother of All Bombs”.

China’s arms industry giant NORINCO has showcased a new type of massive aerial bomb with massive destructive potential, according to local media outlets.

The company released a video on its website last month showing the bomb being air-dropped by an H-6K bomber and appearing to create an enormous explosion:

This is the first time the new bomb has been revealed to the public, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The report described it as China’s most powerful non-nuclear bomb and said the H-6K bomber could only carry one at a time due to its size.

Experts have estimated the bomb to be around five to six meters long and claimed it could completely wipe out fortified ground targets such as buildings and defense shelters.

“The massive blast can easily and completely wipe out fortified ground targets such as reinforced buildings, bastions and defense shelters,” Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based military analyst, told The Global Times.

The weapon is similar to the United States’ Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), which was dubbed the “Mother of All Bombs”, but the Chinese model is said to be smaller and lighter — a possibly intentional move to ensure the weapon could be dropped from a bomber.

“The US bomb is so large that it has to be carried by a larger transport aircraft rather than a bomber,” Wei said, noting that a bomber can fly faster and can target with more precision.
