AVIATION PING!.....................
This is something I NEVER would see or know about on my own.
Thanks for posting...I’m actuaslly going to read the article :)
Disastrous to the endangered “Banded Desert Wombat” habitat. A federal judge will soon be issuing an injunction on the use. (Unless it’s intended use is against deplorable Americans with deep basements)
“ A report from The Associated Press in 2023 notably highlighted concerns that new underground additions to Iran’s Natanz nuclear site could be out of the reach of MOP.”

Perhaps out of reach of one, but not immune to two or more. These rallies have gotten fairly adept at dropping one bomb, and then delivering another one to the exact same target within seconds. It allows for deeper penetration, and is apparently how they dug out the leader of Hezbollah a few months ago.
It's not a simple thing to make a component that can withstand that kind of impact.
That is one large popper.
You can run, but...

Specially designed to flatten nuclear bunkers buried under mountains. Made easier when the target country lost its radar and air defenses.
In the 1950s we could put a small atomic bomb in an artillery shell: could we do that inside a penetrating bomb like this?
Goodbye Iranian nuclear weapons program.
For accuracy, the bombs had to be dropped precisely from a pre-determined height (usually 20,000 ft (6,100 m)).[6] They would free-fall for around 30 seconds until, at 5,000 ft (1,500 m), the rockets were ignited, causing the tail section to be expelled.[6] The rocket burn lasted for three seconds[7] and added 300 ft/s (91 m/s) to the bomb’s speed, giving a final impact speed of 1,450 ft/s (440 m/s; 990 mph),[7] approximately Mach 1.29.[a] Post-war tests demonstrated that the bombs were able to penetrate a 14-foot-8-inch (4.47 m) thick concrete roof,[8] with the predicted (but untested) ability to penetrate 16 feet 8 inches (5.08 m) of concrete.[8]

Be a nice start for cartel resolution.
Why didn’t they test it on the Yucca Mountain radioactive waste facility? It woukd make a perfect test site since Uncle Sugar poured $ Billions into it and now it sits used. Talk about a real money pit.
Interesting that this article comes out right as Iran wants to negotiate, but Trump wants to end their nuke program
I hope President Trump told BiBi that he could have a few to test on Iran's nuke facilities.
