Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator. Damn! Sounds like the name of a porn star!
Kaboooom! I want one!
So, who's running the show in Congress???
C'mon, folks! Why not fund weaponry that could save the lives of US soldiers?!!! These are weapons with one use only - to destroy hardened military targets.
I thank God I am not and never will be a politician. It would tear me apart to have to abandon principle for expediency.
The hypocrisy in politico-topia is disgusting.
This would be like Congress trying defund tank research in WWII. What are they thinking?
So could 10 Daisy Cutters if dropped in 10 100,000 seat stadiums. What the hell does that statistic have to do with taking out enemy capabilities like missile launch sites and nuclear production facilities underground in Iran and China? Those are designed for one purpose only: to kill 1 million of us in heavily populated areas.
The video is Crossbow, a COMPLETELY different, conventional (i.e. non-nuke) penetrating weapon. Rather slick as it's effective against sheltered targets (like this A-7) or targets in the open (there's another video going around of a Russian multiple rocket launcher getting the treatment).
You are unlikely to see video of RNEP for a number of reasons.
