hopefully the pictured event is a very tame version.....using its 20 ft length against the terrain (which would appear to be beach sand) and the objects that remain intact in the last pic, I’m not very impressed while I imagine many feet of concrete reinforcement and depths of underground nuke bunkers/facilities/whatever in Iran/NK........like I said, I hope this is a very tame version
I’m not impressed with your poor comprehension of the written word.
I think there’s 100-200 feet of reinforced concrete in between that blast bubble and the actual explosion. Look at the other two pics. It looks like there’s a structure that’s flush with the ground in the middle of that beach sand.
Remember, it’s *not* designed to produce a huge crater in the earth. It’s designed to burrow deeply and then damage/destroy/disrupt the ‘stuff’ at depth from shock wave and overpressure. It’s not a conventional ordinance at all.
Think of a hollow point bullet. Small/unimpressive entry wound; massive internal damage.
Not to worry the bulk of the damage occurs where you can’t see it which is, where it is supposed to be, underground.
The majority of the blast is directed to the target, not wasted on empty air above.
Much like armor piercing rounds, the area of penetration is unimpressive to the untrained eye. It’s what happens behind the little hole that is important.
The picture is not the MOP.
The picture is a 5,000lb “bunker-buster,” not the 30,000lb MOP.
