Air Defense Unit protecting Fordow Nuke Plant has been destroyed
2025-06-18
[X] This site is about 60 miles south of Tehran. The working space is about 200' below ground level. There are about a half dozen entrance points however which could be destroyed and electricity to the plant is pretty vulnerable also.

#11  #9 the big flaw with Frodow is it's big AIR VENT. Not it's various entrances and exits. That's a separate opening. It carries air from way down. Drop a big bunker buster down the exhaust air vent.

Anyone cares to put a little bet on it?

#7  Down the same hole and precisely timed. But you say that like it's an impossible thing...

#6  It will take 4 GBU-57s down the same hole to wipe out the complex!

#4  Skid, the most powerful bunker buster currently ‘admitted’ to be in the US arsenal. Published concept sketches suggest the possibility of more than just two stages, which with properly shaped charges might be capable of greater penetration.

#2  GBU-57A/B MOP

these components enable the GBU-57A/B to penetrate up to 200 feet (61 m) of reinforced concrete or soil, making it the most powerful conventional bunker-penetrating weapon currently in the U.S. arsenal

#1  As I recall, 200 ft is nothing.
