I would actually go with the quote somewhere in there not necceseraly a new weapon.
Ruskies have been playing with thermobaric weapons for ages just decided to show the balance of power as the US revealed theres.
Probably exagerated but just like they did with the TSAR bomb want to show the US they can do bigger.

I was just thinking how cool it would be to drop one on a PBEM opponent.

MOAB is not a FAE, just uses powerful conventional explosive AFAIK

Would do in a pinch though.

Putting things in perspective if I remember correctly the TSAR bomb produced shock waves that circled the world 3 times picked up by the weather people.
Thats quite a large bang global warming anyone
