In the name of peace and prosperity we have to do it, simply because if Iran gets atomic weapons they will use them.

It needs to be a modified MOP. one that carries a nuc where all that can be seen on the surface is pfffft, a dud in outward appearance.

He thinks we are already in this war.

The only plane that can carry it is the B2.

Contract with Spacex for the delivery.
They show about a 1 meter CEP with the starship super heavy booster stage.
Watch the speed and altitude when they are doing a chopsticks catch, it's very scary.

The Israelis will generally yank out some of our stuff on their purchased aircraft and put in their stuff that works better.

That’s for comperable planes.

The planes that deliver these payloads do not have any Israeli comperables.

The shock wave would either kill them or collapse the remaining cover.

The 2nd bomb <— would definitely finish the job!

Yup - comparable aircraft. Nothing they have will carry the 57. I did say their purchased aircraft.

They do have a Gulfstream V and eight C-130s of varying vintage. Non-players.

They have a nice pile of F15s, F16s, and F35s. They would be modified, some more than others and the flight control computers would probably be untouched.
