Bunker Buster Bombs 6-22-25

U.S. ATACKS IRAN: President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States "completed a successful attack" at three locations: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. 

TRUMP ADDRESS: In an address to the nation tonight, Trump said Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities were “completely and totally obliterated,” adding that any future attacks would be “far greater and a lot easier.”

9TH DAY OF CONFLICT: Trump’s decision to directly involve the United States in the conflict comes more than a week after Israel and Iran began trading attacks. Israel’s government says its bombing campaign is aimed at preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.

NO BREAKTHROUGHS ON DIPLOMACY: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News that Iran was not sure it could trust the United States and that it would not negotiate as long as Israel continues its attacks. The Israeli military chief said yesterday that the country is ready for “a prolonged campaign” against Iran.

Bunker buster bombs can penetrate varying depths depending on the specific type of bomb and target. The GBU-57 A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator, for example, can penetrate up to 200 feet (61 meters) of reinforced concrete, according to The Washington Post. Other, smaller bunker busters can penetrate between 6 and 20 feet (1.8 to 6 meters) of reinforced concrete, according to Wikipedia. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

·       GBU-57 A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator: This bomb, designed to attack deeply buried targets, can penetrate approximately 200 feet (61 meters) of reinforced concrete. 

·       BLU-109 Penetrator: Can penetrate about 6 feet (1.8 meters) of reinforced concrete. 

·       BLU-116 Advanced Unitary Penetrator (AUP): This bomb can penetrate roughly 11 feet (3.4 meters) of reinforced concrete. 

·       BLU-113 Super Penetrator: Can penetrate more than 20 feet (6 meters) of reinforced concrete. 

how many feet will bunker buster bombs remove

The latest US GBU-57 A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a precision-guided bunker-buster bomb, is 

believed to be able to penetrate about 200 feet (61 meters) below the surface before exploding. 

Important Considerations:

·       "Bunker buster" is a broad term encompassing bombs designed to penetrate deep underground.

·       The GBU-57 A/B is the most powerful conventional bunker-penetrating weapon currently in the U.S. arsenal.

·       Penetration depth can be influenced by the type of material the bomb encounters (e.g., earth, concrete).

·       Successive blasts with multiple bombs on the same target can potentially increase penetration depth.

·       The GBU-57 uses a smart fuze (LPSF) that can adjust detonation timing based on the target's characteristics.

·       Actual capabilities may be greater than publicly reported, due to ongoing development.
