"Father of All Bombs" (FOAB), "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB), "Son of All Bombs" (MOP)

This is what bombers do! drop bombs, if they put wings and an engine on the MOAB it could fly, sounds like a cruise missile but with a lot more "PUNCH".

The MOAB is delivered on a pallet from a C-130 aircraft, vulnerable to ground fire and MANPADS.

The FOAB is apparently delivered from a TU-22 Bomber (Blinder), details are sketchy.

"Father of All Bombs" (FOAB)
Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power, is a Russian-made air-delivered/land activated thermobaric weapon. The bomb is reportedly four times as powerful as the U.S. military's "Mother of All Bombs". This would make it the most powerful conventional (non-nuclear) weapon in the world, although the legitimacy of the weapon's size and power has been called into question by some U.S defense analysts. The bomb was successfully field-tested in the late evening of September 11, 2007. According to the Russian military, the new weapon will replace several smaller types of nuclear bombs in its arsenal.

FOAB: Mass, 7,100 kg  TNT equivalent: 44 tons/88,000 Ib, Blast radius: 300 m (1,000 ft)   TNT equivalent: 11 tons / 22,000 Ib ~44 tons / 88,000 Ib, Unknown (presumably GLONASS) .

"Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB)
The GBU-43/B MOAB consists of the BLU-120/B bomb body (containing 8480 kg (18700 lb) of explosive) and the KMU-593/B guidance kit (GPS/INS unit and control fins). The only delivery aircraft for MOAB is the MC-130 Hercules. The bomb is carried in a cradle on a platform in the cargo hold, and the whole assembly is dragged out to the rear by a drogue chute. When clear of the aircraft, the GBU-43/B is released, four movable grid-type control fins on the tail are extended, and the guidance system directs the weapon towards its target. The MOAB's body has two low aspect ratio wings to increase lift and thereby the gliding range.

MОАВ: Mass, 8,200 kg, TNT equivalent: 11 tons/22,000 Ib, Blast radius: 150 m (500 ft),Guidance: INS/GPS.

"Son of All Bombs" (MOP)
The Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) GBU-57A/B is a project by the U.S. Air Force to develop a massive, precision-guided, 30,000-pound (13,608 kg) "bunker buster" bomb. This is substantially larger than the deepest penetrating bunker buster presently available, the 5,000-pound (2,268 kg) GBU-28.
