I thought Fordow was built 90 meters under rock to survive bunker-busting bombs?

We dropped 6 GBU-57s on it. They are only designed to penetrate up to 60 meters
Iran is claiming we only did superficial damage
I see others backing this claim saying we only destroyed support functions of the facility, reducing its operations by 85% for now but that the main facility is still there and too deep for us to reach
Also Iran says they relocated the Nuclear material prior to the attacks

We’ll know soon enough

Bro if you hear a number like that 85%, you’re a little skeptical, right?

It will probably take months/years to figure out what is what.
I certainly think Iran is exaggerating as much as Israel on this.

The unfortunate reality is that both the US and Iran has every incentive to lie about the damage in their favor

Imagine the government being honest about its weapon capabilities
Posted on 6/22/25 at 7:17 am to stout
I have heard reports that we have only reduced operations of the facility by 76.7%.

Don't really believe anything Iran says, especially since it sounds like they didn't even get a shot off coming or going.

We didn;t drop them all at the same time. We let them blow deep holes and then dropped more in the holes, so the damage went deeper and deeper till the job was done...

You're not gonna see a whole lot on satellite images. Those bombs leave a little hole and go 200 feet deep where they then detonate.
It will probably take other forms of Intel to determine the extent of the damage.

I have no doubt about this but are we also exaggerating?

yes! you have him now! well our government says we destroyed it just curious do you pay the man before or after you watch him do your wife?

They dropped 4 on it via the ventilation vents. The logic there being they would burry on top of each other letting each one penetrate deeper than the last.
The other 2 were dropped on access points to not allow anyone access regardless of the damage

Someone asked Grok about this
quote:
Using multiple GBU-57A/B bombs in sequence could theoretically increase penetration depth beyond 60 meters by leveraging the crater from initial strikes, as suggested by military analysis for targets like Fordow. However, practical challenges like precise targeting and fortified structures may limit effectiveness
Interesting if that's how it was done

Trust us more than I trust them... No doubt we did what is claimed and dont think they would heistate to do it again if the assessment comes back that it didn't work.
