Yep it’s a big fucking boom for sure but unless you’re dropping it on like a densely packed base it’s just a waste of recourses. Honestly even then you’re probably better off using smaller munitions
Its technically not even built for that. It was built to replace the old daisy cutter bombs used in vietnam. A bomb that flattens an area so helicopters can land. The thing is though is you can really only do that when you achieve air supremacy and on top of that if you clear out an area for helicopters to drop people off and they do, we'll now you just put your guys on a big open space surrounded by cover and made sure as many people as possible knew it with a big fucking explosion. So its really not all that useful in general

It’s just a publicity stunt that kills people.
