DEBKAfile reports: Bush is expected to offer the mighty BIG-BLU bunker buster bomb to Israel and Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia

How does one get a job at DEBKA? Do you just need a perpetual supply of tin foil or do you have to be certifiably N-U-T-S?

Platforms B-52, B-2

I don't think the Israelis fly either of those planes, so what platform would they use?

>>>...we sold them these Big BLUs as well (on the Q.T.)<<<

I was under the impression that the BigBlu's were only a recent development....just tested for the first time a couple of months ago.

Matters not, just as long as Iran knows that Israel has them, and the will to use them ..... pre-emptively!

[SE Mom]

Nope- it means Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Mississippi and Alabama can use them for the upcoming hurricane season..;)

And the answer is: C-130

DEBKAfile’s military sources note that this bomb in Saudi hands will also serve the oil kingdom as a deterrent against Israel’s atomic weapons program.

They better get the right target with the FIRST one, or else SA will GLOW for a LONG time!

Israel could try to mount it on one of their 25 F15E [F15I] Strike Eagles.

Max takeoff weight for a Strike Eagle is 81,000 lbs.
