#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

#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.

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

#10 I walked the ground at Osirak in the 80's. The IDF was finished with the job in less than 5 minutes.

#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.
