Yes. It's called compound strikes.
First bomb penetrates. Second bomb clears rubble. Third bomb penetrates where second bomb clears rubble..so on so forth. Something like B1 bomber could drop a significant number of 2000 GPS or laser guided bombs onto the same 10 square feet time and time again until it penetrates whatever it wants. It's usually done with a train of planes, typically staggered in 30 second intervals. That's the operational plan, anyways. |

I was watching the Mike Vining interview and he said we have a MOP. Massive Ordnance Penetrator, that was non nuclear.
|
|
this is why we have so many trannies in the military. You just send wave after wave of your own men/women/xirs till you exceed the enemies kill limit and they shut down.

Quoted: MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) View Quote Nope the AB stands for Air Blast. What your are looking for is the GBU-57A/B MOP Massive Ordnance Penetrator. MOP |

It is the procedure for second wall penetration more than the tool.
To be honest, after second wall penetration and release, I have heard it described as "nuclear" |
|
MOP pen is 200ft of concrete, probably more if 200 is the unclassified number. I have no idea how deep Iran's bunkers are.

Guesstimates say they may have some 300 feet deep dug into the side of a mountain. It might just be a cardboard mockup though.

Quoted: Meh. Just use nukes. View Quote Problem is that Iran likely just recently acquired nukes of their own and has a fanatical islamist leadership that is looking to use them in order to summon a 12th imam coming out of a well somewhere. This is why they are no longer afraid of launching attacks from their own territory. If you nuke them and don't kill all of their nukes they will try to nuke us or our allies in retaliation, WW3 style. |

The complex proper, probably not, but the access points are toast. Bury them alive.
|

However deep it is, there's a tunnel to the top for people to come and go. Collapse that, and continue to hit it every 6 hours for a couple of days. Whoever and whatever was down there will expire.

Doesn't the MOP require a large cargo-type plane for delivery?
If so, how's that lumbering beast going to get through Iran's air defenses? |

Quoted: I'm sure GD will know View Quote I'm sure there is someone on here that does know, just not willing or able to confirm it. There is an awfully large cross section of all walks of life here. There are world renowned scientists here. Even one willing to call BS to another user that didn't know what he was talking about. |

im gonna speculate that its possible to build a bunker that couldnt be defeated, at least by conventional and maybe even thermo nuclear explosives unless it was something like a full blow tsar bomba (the one the exploded was a half strength version). you find a mountain range where granite or similar is what its made of, then you go down, way way down under that mountain with multiple layers of reinforced concrete. its gonna take an asteroid strike to get down there. as to hitting all the exits, maybe.. that seems like a loosing proposition. once you start bombing the hell out of iran to destroy their nukes, you better hope you get them all, otherwise they are liable to show up anywhere in the world as all bets would be off as far as iran was concerned. you might as well go ahead and thermo nuke the entire country and hope you get them all and the ruskies and chyneze dont get ultra pissed at all the radioactive clouds drifting their way.
one wonders... is cheyenne mountain an impossible target...? as an example of a super bunker. |

Last I heard the izzies didn't have the tankers to strike all the distributed targets they need to service in order to bring the persian nuke pgm to a halt. So they used cyber to burn the centrifuges. That was a pretty intresting story.

View Quote A couple of relatively primitive fusion bombs aren’t something to be so afraid of that we tolerate them continuing their program. |
