World’s ‘most powerful’ non-nuclear bomb can burn through concrete, steel
AI Article Summary

At the IDEF 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey unveiled its most powerful non-nuclear bomb, called Gazap, featuring a fragmentation system that is three times more destructive than conventional bombs. Gazap's thermobaric capability allows it to reach temperatures high enough to melt steel and concrete. Alongside Gazap, Turkey also introduced the NEB-2 Ghost, a bunker-buster bomb capable of penetrating seven meters of reinforced concrete. These developments underscore Turkey's growing expertise in military technologies.
