"This Massive Ordnance Penetrator – MOP – known as BIG-BLU - weighs in at 13,600 kilos and can destroy 25% of its targets in bunkers buried beneath 60 meters of reinforced concrete, a depth greater than any other bomb of its type. "
I seems to recall these use old naval gun barrels, but that might be a older version.
My question is does destroying 25% mean that the remaining 75% percent is merely rendered useless through damage?
Or
Does the 25% mean that 75% of the time the bomb doesn't get through the concrete to the target and do any damage. Of couse then we just drop four or eigtht right?
The subtle difference may explain why a nuclear weapon in the end of the bomb is reccomended when dealing with important targets, Methinks only one country in the middle east has weapons that can go in the base of this beast.
Israeli use of this weapon would seems to be the best way of solving the present crisis with Iran. Israel can clear out southern lebanon simultanously and leave the Iranians with no effective comeback options (+ we can dig up that WMD we lost).
The Israelis could even help the US out by buying C-17's to drop these monsters, everybody wins expect the guys and girls at the IP.
Babble finished. |
