Unfortunately Israel will be a glowing sheet of glass before this ever even gets in the air. Of course The Magic Negro knows this.

‘Ready to go’, huh?

BFD. So who’s going to authorize its use?

Oh, Obama. Yeah — against Israel, maybe...

The worthless P.O.S.

Without the will to use it, it’s just an inert physics package, or maybe Explosive D (or TATB?) in a hardened case.

“Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Friday the Pentagon had ready a bunker-busting bomb that could destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facility, in case the U.S. ever had to resort to a military option to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.”

But now that Obama has heard about it, bet on it the program will be cancelled.

Oh man. Well, I’m hoping the Israelis have developed the technology. My Jewish friends are convinced that the Israelis will take out the Iranian weapons program, but I think it’s too late. Everything is buried and dispersed. It will take a ground force to destroy their program, and no one is willing to do it. My last hope is an invasion by a coalition of SA, Egypt, and the other gulf states.

Ash's days are numbered...

Nah, there is a difference between having a bomb ready to be used and having the will to use the bomb. Lord Foul doesn't have the will to use the bomb against his muslim brothers.

Wouldn’t matter much if the Israelis had the MOP. They don’t have the aircraft to carry it. It’s a 30,000 lb weapon and they don’t have heavy bombers.

If the Zero has the ‘perfect weapon’ at his fingertips to stop them, and doesn’t use it? Well what a pickle that puts him in.

Israel has plenty of bunker busters according to this article:

That is not a pickle for Obama. He’ll just order it destroyed.

"I hope Israel has the same weaponry."

Only USA has this 30,000lb weapon and the heavy bomber to deliver it.

What would be the “smallest” AC to effectively carry and deliver those?

B-29, TU-95, B-52, B-1B and B2.

Heavy bombers only.

Perhaps converted commercial aircraft.

Probably a C-130, which the Israelis have. Getting one over Fordow to make the pass would be an incredible feat. The altitude required for the weapon to function as designed negates flying under radar. You’d have to imagine the airspace around the facility is tightly restricted and protected.

B-52 and B-2 only, too fat for the B-1, the only B-29 around flying is with the Commemorative Air Force (formerly the Confederate Air Force)

Time to deploy Rods from God.

Only way to be sure...if you use enough of them.
