A GBU bomb, or Guided Bomb Unit, is a type of precision-guided munition used by the military to enhance targeting accuracy and minimize collateral damage. These bombs are typically equipped with guidance systems, such as laser or GPS, allowing them to home in on specific targets. GBUs come in various types and sizes, including general-purpose and specialized munitions, and are deployed from aircraft to strike ground targets effectively.
The GBU-12 and the GBU-38 weigh 606 pounds and 552 pounds, respectively. They are considered "500-pound" munitions because they're based on a standard 500-pound bomb known as the Mk 82.
No one seems to know. Apparently its a big secret what our tax dollars have been used for.

The GBU-43 (Massive Ordnance Air Blast, usually called a MOAB. Mother Of All Bombs) which is a 21,000 pound bomb with a blast yield of 11 tons. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has stated that a larger version of the MOAB exists, weighing thirteen tons.
Yes, it was a British creation by Barnes Wallis that was an earth penetrator and came as the Tall Boy and the later Grand Slam version which tipped the scales at 22,000 pounds. They are viewed as the first generation of the modern GBU-28 bombs used in the Iraq war and the proposed 30,000 pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator.
"Mofob" is an acronym that stands for "Mother of All F***ing Bombs." It refers to a powerful bomb developed by the United States, officially known as the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB). This bomb is designed to create a massive blast and is primarily used for destroying large targets, such as underground bunkers or fortified structures. The term is often used informally to emphasize the bomb's size and destructive capability.
The Igbo word for "kill" of the Western African origin is gbu.
This century, none at all. Last century, there are potentially two: Nuclear - The Tsar Bomba, theorized to be 100+ megaton, tested at 57 megaton. Conventional - The MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Burst, or Mother of all bombs), GBU-43/B, thermobaric device.
maybe Kutless--"Take me in" hope i helped GBU!!
