The U.S. military chose not to use bunker-buster bombs on a major Iranian nuclear facility last weekend because the site is so deeply buried that the weapons likely wouldn’t have been effective, according to the U.S.’ top general.
The US military did not use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective, the US’ top general told senators during a briefing on Thursday.
But Jeanloz says those shockwaves weaken quickly as they move into the rock. #Fordow’s position directly under the ridge of the mountain probably maximized that protection.
In fact, going deeper is a simple solution to the threat of #BunkerBusters. A major conclusion from the 2005 study was that "it's cheaper & easier for someone to dig deeper than it is to penetrate through that depth," he says.
#B2bombers moving to #Guam amid #MiddleEast tensions
The #UnitedStates is moving B-2 bombers to Guam, 2 US ofcls told Reuters Saturday, as #Trump weighs whether the #US should take part in #Israel's strikes against #Iran.
It was unclear whether the bomber deployment is tied to Middle East tensions.
The B-2 can be equipped to carry America's 30k-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator [aka #BunkerBusters], designed to destroy targets deep underground.
