Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power (ATBIP), nicknamed "Father of All Bombs" (FOAB; Russian: "Папа всех бомб", Пвб), 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 (MOAB), which is often unofficially called "Mother of All Bombs".
FOAB was successfully field-tested in the late evening of 11 September 2007.
