(20,570 posts)1. Instructive video. Get the impression that the US military is not sure that they can take out
a well-hardened site.
And that the munitions that are supplied by defense contractors may not actually work as "advertised".
Wonder if this is giving pause to some of the few intelligent people left in our defense sector.

(5,744 posts)3. One scenario I've seen is
the use of multiple bombs dropped in succession on the same target/subsequent crater such that a single bomb does not have to penetrate all the way (the guidance system on these bombs is apparently accurate enough to facilitate that). IOWs, somewhat akin to a battering ram with explosive assist.
Justice matters.
