In another post I suggested that the MOABs could be deployed against the artillery tubes aimed at Seoul. The bombs could kill the personnel manning the guns but ground troops would have to go into NK to destroy the tubes. The MOAB is a fuel air bomb, which is designed to create a massive shock wave that kills people. It does not have any real shrapnel. The penetrator bombs might be effective but I believe there are only about 20 of each of these things made.
