Top 10 Most Deadliest Weapons In The World by WriterX(m): 2:54pm On Jan 16, 2021
yes we are back and searching for the word's top 10's and we figured out we could celebrate these weapons of deadly and mass destruction, who takes the one spot ? lets find out.


10. THE CHIMERA VIRUS

The Chimera virus ranks 10th in our list of the most powerful weapons in the world. In ancient Mythology it is said that a chimera is an animal formed from parts of different animals, like a hippogriff or a griffin so the chimera is combination of two or more viruses.

A chimera virus is defined by the Center for Veterinary Biologics as a ‘’new hybrid microorganism created by joining nucleic acid fragments from two or more different microorganisms in which each of at least two of the fragments contain essential genes necessary for replication.

Combining two pathogenic viruses increases the lethality of the new virus which is why there have been cases when chimeric viruses have been considered for use as a bioweapon. For example, the Soviet Union’s Chimera Project attempted to combine DNA from Venezuelan equine encephalitis, smallpox and Ebola virus in the late 1980’s.

Faith is much more deadly.

By faith, David killed Goliath wih a stone.

By faith, the Israelites got the walls of Jericho tumbling down without touching it.

By faith, Moses got a whole red sea parted by just stretching forward a stick.

Faith works wonders.

8. THE TRIDENT II D5 SLBM


The Trident missile ranks 8th in our list of the most powerful weapons in the world. The Trident missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). Originally developed by Lockheed Missiles and Space Corporation.

The missile is armed with thermonuclear warheads and is launched from nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. Trident missiles is the favorite missile carried by fourteen of United States Navy Ohio-class submarines, with American warheads, as well as four Royal Navy Vanguard-class submarines, with British warheads. The missile is named after the mythological trident of Neptune.

7. THE ICBM


An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a missile with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometers primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery. It is guided to the target.

ICBMs have the capability of being launched from airplanes, submarines, missile silos, and vehicles. They became an integral part of the MAD doctrine because these weapons allowed the flexibility that enabled the country to strike back and destroy the enemy. It basically guaranteed a second strike on the enemy because they ensure zero clap back so to say.

Most modern designs support multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), allowing a single missile to carry several warheads, each of which can strike a different target. Russia, United States, China, France, India, United Kingdom, and North Korea are the only countries that have operational ICBMs

6. THE MOAB


MOAB ranks 6th in our list of the most powerful weapons in the world. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB, commonly known as "Mother of All Bombs"wink is a large-yield bomb, which at the time of development was said to be the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the American arsenal. It was developed by Albert L. Weimorts.

The so called The "mother of all bombs" weighs over nine tons intended for the destruction of underground bunkers and installations. It was made for the fight against terrorists and their underground training centers in the mountains of Afghanistan.

In the Pentagon's arsenal, it was the most powerful conventional bomb that works on the principle of vacuum, so that the explosive charge simply sucks in oxygen, ignites the cloud and acts on all objects on the ground and underground, with a shock wave and high temperatures. The bomb is designed to be delivered by a C-130 Hercules, primarily the MC-130E Combat Talon I or MC-130H Combat Talon II variants. Its blast can destroy 9 city blocks with a radius of 137.61 m. The MOAB was first dropped in combat in the 13 April 2017 airstrike against an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province (ISIS) tunnel complex in Achin District, Afghanistan.

5. THE FOAB

If their is a mother of all bombs surely there is a father of all bombs hence our number five, the Foab.

Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power, nicknamed “Father of All Bombs” (FOAB) is a Russian-designed, bomber-delivered thermobaric weapon.

It weighs 7,100 kilograms, and was dropped on the test range by the “Tu-160” strategic bomber. General Alexander Rukshin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, told that it is the strongest vacuum bomb in the world and that the results of tests of that weapon show that its efficiency and strength correspond to nuclear weapons, but that the use of these weapons does not pollute the environment.

Thermobaric weapons are inhumane in the context of the fact that all those who would be in the zone of action of such a bomb would first suffocate, due to lack of oxygen, and then they would be crushed by the shock wave and burned at high temperatures, it goes like this they SUFFOCATE and die, if a few survive , they are again CRUSHED by massive shock waves and maybe if some happen to survive they are then BURNED in a ridiculous explosion of over 40tons of TNT, talk about a killer bomb.

According to the assessment of the American edition of “National Interest”, the Russian bomb has a smaller mass, but it is still four times more powerful than the American MOAB. For example, the power of the explosion of the Russian FOAB is equal to the explosion of 40 tons of TNT, while the power of the American MOAB is equal to the explosion of ten tons of TNT. The Russian bomb has a radius of action 20 times larger than the American one.

4. THE B53 NUCLEAR BOMB

The Mk/B53 was a high-yield bunker buster thermonuclear weapon developed by the United States during the Cold War with a yield of 9 megatons, which results in a fireball with an approximate 2.9 to 3.4 mi diameter and the radiated heat causes lethal burns to any unprotected person within a 20-mile radius. It was the most powerful weapon in the U.S. nuclear arsenal back then.

This weapon is no longer used actively. Manufacturer of this bomb was The United States Atomic Energy Commission, commonly known as the AEC. That was an agency of the United States government established after World War II by U.S. Congress to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology.

3. THE LITTLE BOY AND THE FAT MAN

I know what you are thinking and its a big no.

The Little Boy was the code name for an atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 from an Enola Gay plane (B-29 Super Fortress). The plane was flown by Colonel Paul Tibets of the 393rd Bomber Squadron of the United States Air Force. It was the first atomic bomb used as a weapon. It was dropped three days before the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. This bomb was developed as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II. Its explosive power comes from the nuclear fission of uranium 235. The bombing of Hiroshima was the second artificially induced nuclear explosion in history (the first was the Trinity test), as well as the first uranium-based detonation. Approximately 600 milligrams of mass is converted into energy. The bomb exploded at an altitude of about 600 meters and developed a destructive force equivalent to between 13 and 18 kilotons of TNT (estimates vary) and killed approximately 220,000 people. Its design has not been previously tested due to the fact that enriched uranium was very rare at that time, so the United States saved it.

Fat Man is the code name for an atomic bomb that detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. The bomb was dropped by the United States. It was an implosion-type bomb, with a plutonium center. The fat man may have been named after Winston Churchill, although Robert Serber stated in his memoirs that as the bomb was round and thick, he named it after Casper Gutman from Sidney Green Street’s Maltese Falcon. Fat man’s design was similar to the design of the first atomic bomb device detonated during the Trinity atomic test. in July 1945. it was detonated at an altitude of approximately 550 m above the city, and was ejected from a B-29 bomber by a super fort. It was piloted by Major Charles Sweeney of the 393rd Bomber Squadron. The bomb had a power of approximately 21 kilotons of TNT, or 8.78 × 1013 joules = 88 TJ (terajoules). Since Nagasaki is on a hilly terrain, the damage from the explosion was somewhat less than in relatively flat Hiroshima. It is estimated that 39,000 people were killed and 25,000 injured in the bombing of Nagasaki. Thousands more later died from injuries caused by the explosion and burns, and hundreds more from radiation poisoning from exposure to the bomb’s initial radiation.

2. THE CASTLE BRAVO

First of all, castle bravo isn't a missile itself but an operation during which the U.S. tested a thermonuclear hydrogen bomb for the first time.

The test was performed on March 1, 1954 at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The direct result of the explosion was nuclear rain, which poisoned the islanders who returned to the island after the detonation. Members of the crew of the Japanese fishing boat Lucky Dragon No. were also poisoned, which raised the international question of the safety of conducting nuclear tests. The bomb used lithium-deuterium fuel for the nuclear reaction as well as cryogenic, deuterium-tritium liquid, which was used as the fuel for the nuclear reaction.

The Ivy Mike bomb, which was the 16th nuclear bomb, represented the first test of the hydrogen bomb of the U.S. Armed Forces. Castle Bravo had the best result of all U.S. Army nuclear testing, 15MT, although again a significant proportion came from uranium fission. In the Teller-Ulam model, the fission and fusion phases occur physically separately. Castle Bravo was the most powerful American nuclear bomb ever detonated by the United States. With a power of 15 megatons, it greatly exceeded the projected power of 4-6 megatons. Combined with other factors, it was the most signified radiological device in U.S. history. Measured in kilotons, Castle Bravo was 1,200 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

The heart of men is desperately wicked. When you see a bomb, you will definitely know it's danger but a human being with evil in the heart will come to you as a friend and yet you won't know the danger staring at your face.

Human heart is the deadliest weapon
