@davidaugust bunker busters have tinny bitsy problem. You can always make better bunker. Next time, what, mountain top will get it? Even fucking nukes can't do that.
This happens when you develop weapons without using them. Kremlin got same issues with their super weapons.

“This happens when you develop weapons without using them.”

This kinda bolsters a cynical theory of mine that in modern times, wars occur when the military wants to test new equipment under battlefield conditions.

So yeah, I’m saying the military cudda talked crazypants outta this — but they wanted to try their new toy.

@bronakins @davidaugust we knew that trump definitely did. All players actually try to make bunker busters, for various reasons.

@peteriskrisjanis

So there are actually reports that the bunker busters dropped on Iran were a bust???

@davidaugust

@bronakins @peteriskrisjanis yes.

Examples:

“…Caine told reporters Sunday that “initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage.”

Iran’s Fordo Nuclear Site Said to Look Severely Damaged, Not Destroyed

Initial military assessments of the buried nuclear site contrast with the statement on the strike there made by President Trump.

@peteriskrisjanis @davidaugust These were used in Iraq and Afghanistan. Limited success with them. You just have to have enough earth and reinforced concrete.

@Lightfighter @peteriskrisjanis the GBU-57 series MOP used this last weekend had not been previously used in combat.

You're right, there were other bunker buster munitions used in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Show threadBill, organizer of stuffJun 23
@Lightfighter @peteriskrisjanis @davidaugust Nope - those were GBU-43/B MOABs - different and much smaller. These are GBU-57A/B MOPs, which have never been used in combat before.

Well put.

Bunker busters are excellent as the name suggests...for bunkers.
What the US needs to develop is "Under the mountain, granite slab, take the elevator 20 storeys down" busters. 🙄
Which the warmonger industry will be happy to develop for 900 billion dollars....

@n_dimension you’re not wrong. Thank you.

The U.S. started developing these in about 2004, and has spent a pretty penny on that development. Each weapon costs about $3.5 million.

And they may not be working on their first combat use quite as intended. So that’s super great.
