Is the MOAB or Mother of All Bombs still in service with the U.S. Air Force and how many do they have? Any help would be nice.

The MOAB is an Air Force Research Laboratary technology project that began in fiscal year 2002, as a descendant of the BLU-82 "Daisy cutter". It underwent a successful feild test at Eglin Air force Base, Florida on March 11, 2003 and another on November 21. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratary has said a larger version of the MOAB exists, weighing thirteen tons.

I think it is not in service or limited because after FOAB i think U.S is developing bigger Bomb then FOAB.

I think thermobaric bombs will be massively used in the future wars, as they are "easy" to build and there's no problem of radiation

I think in future wars laser weapons will be the best option along with non human war machines like UAVs and drones.
