fortified underground bunkers some 40 meters (roughly 120 feet) underground
During the first gulf war, Iraq was said to have similar bunkers that could hold a battalion. Built by British engineers and blah blah blah.
Fortified caves and covered trenches maybe with a Saddam pit I might believe. But not this as described in the article.
