美国据报道正考虑在特朗普总统下令重启军事行动时使用其最大的非核弹对伊朗发动打击,这使得被称为“所有炸弹之母”的强大武器成为焦点。美国军方已制定可能涉及使用GBU-43/B大型空爆弹(MOAB)对伊朗能源基础设施和核设施进行打击的计划。CNN于10月14日报道称,这一消息来自多名熟悉讨论情况的美国官员。报道称,官员们对部署该武器是否能实现华盛顿的战略目标提出质疑。目前尚未证实特朗普已下令对伊朗使用MOAB进行打击。

The United States is reportedly considering using its largest non-nuclear bomb against Iran if President Donald Trump orders renewed military operations, bringing the powerful weapon known as the “Mother of All Bombs” into focus. The US military has developed strike plans that could involve the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites, CNN reported on October 14, citing multiple US officials familiar with the discussions. The report said officials have questioned whether deploying the weapon would achieve Washington’s strategic objectives. There has been no confirmation that Trump has ordered a MOAB strike on Iran.

什么是“所有炸弹之母”?MOAB代表“大型空爆弹”。该武器的昵称“所有炸弹之母”源于其巨大的体积和毁灭性破坏力。它是一种常规高爆武器,而非核弹。美国军方考虑在未来打击中对伊朗使用“所有炸弹之母”:报道根据美国空军军械博物馆基金会的数据,该炸弹重约21,600磅(9,800公斤),长约30英尺(9米),携带约18,700磅的爆炸物。该武器由美国空军研究实验室于2003年研发。

What is the ‘Mother of All Bombs’?MOAB stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast. The weapon’s nickname, “Mother of All Bombs”, refers to its enormous size and destructive capacity. It is a conventional, high-explosive weapon, not a nuclear bomb.US military weighs using 'mother of all bombs' against Iran in future strikes: ReportAccording to the US Air Force Armament Museum Foundation, the bomb weighs approximately 21,600 pounds (9,800 kg), measures about 30 feet (9 meters) long and carries roughly 18,700 pounds of explosive material. The weapon was developed by the US Air Force Research Laboratory in 2003.

它采用GPS制导,旨在攻击大型地面目标,包括裸露的阵地以及洞穴或隧道群。与设计为在引爆前深入地下穿透的炸弹不同,MOAB的主要意图是在广阔区域内释放巨大的爆炸冲击波。美国何时首次使用MOAB?美国于2017年4月13日在阿富汗南加尔省首次在实战中使用该炸弹,目标是伊斯兰国呼罗珊省的一个隧道群。特朗普启动“超级情报部队”:团队成员是谁?

It is GPS-guided and designed to attack large surface targets, including exposed positions and cave or tunnel complexes. Unlike bombs designed to penetrate deep underground before detonating, the MOAB is intended primarily to deliver a massive blast over a broad area. When did the US first use the MOAB? The United States first used the bomb in combat on April 13, 2017, against an Islamic State Khorasan Province tunnel complex in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province.

其120天期限是什么?根据《航空国际新闻》对该行动的当代报道,此次打击旨在针对武装组织的隧道网络,并降低对在该地区开展行动的美军和阿富汗军队的威胁。阿富汗的这次打击展示了该武器对洞穴和隧道群的使用。它并未证明该炸弹能够摧毁每一种地下设施。MOAB能否摧毁伊朗的核设施?这是围绕有关美国军方计划的报道的一个关键问题。

According to the contemporary account of the operation published by Aviation International News, the strike was intended to target the militant group’s tunnel network and reduce the threat to US and Afghan forces conducting operations in the area. The Afghanistan strike demonstrated the weapon’s use against a cave-and-tunnel complex. It did not establish that the bomb could destroy every type of underground facility. Can the MOAB destroy Iran’s nuclear sites? That remains a key question surrounding the reported US military plans.

伊朗的核基础设施包括深埋且加固的设施,例如福特沃复合体以及斧头山的一个在建设施。大规模地表爆炸不一定能够摧毁被厚厚岩石和混凝土层保护的设施。CNN的原始报道指出,熟悉军事规划的官员对该武器在实现政府目标方面的有效性持怀疑态度。美国还拥有一种专门的地堡穿透武器——GBU-57“大型穿透弹药”,其设计目的是在引爆前深入穿透埋藏的目标。

Iran’s nuclear infrastructure includes deeply buried and fortified facilities, including the Fordow complex and an under-construction site at Pickaxe Mountain. A large surface-level explosion would not necessarily destroy installations protected by substantial layers of rock and concrete.CNN’s original report noted that officials familiar with military planning had doubts about the weapon’s effectiveness in achieving the administration’s objectives. The US also has a specialized bunker-busting weapon, the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, designed to penetrate deeply buried targets before exploding.

因此,MOAB的潜在使用将代表一次重大升级,但其破坏力本身无法保证摧毁伊朗的地下核基础设施,也无法使冲突结束。

The potential use of the MOAB would therefore represent a major escalation, but its destructive power alone would not guarantee the destruction of Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure or bring the conflict to an end.
