I believe it's the MOAB, though I could be wrong.

Yes Redneck, I understand that this is so, The US Air-force designed GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, The Mother Of All Bombs. Weighs 21,000 lb, 18,700 is explosive filler. 1.35 times the power TNT.

Any other candidates??

I think it's this Russian fuel-air bomb:

As powerful as 44 tons of TNT, creates a blast radius of 300 meters and a much larger area is leveled due to immense pressure and the shock wave.

And they used them in Georgia, along with a few nuclear-capable IRBMs. It's getting ugly.
