That’s 45 times more ordinance that was dropped on Dresden during WWII. That place is a tomb under tons of dirt and concrete. Any real battle damage assessment will take weeks. There isn’t anyone alive in that place to call and verify.

People with a brain understand and people with an agenda are going to be dumbasses.

The bombs weighed 30k lbs but only contained a little over 5k lbs of explosive. Most of the weight was the casing designed to penetrate concrete/rock without breaking apart.

That won't resister with the TDS ridden.

You know Trump wasn't fricking around with it. Otherwise he wouldn't have been so pissed this morning.

yes einstein explain to me the kinetic energy expended on dropping a 30k pound bomb from 50k feet i'll hang up and listen!

Right but that shite turns into shrapnell when the bomb detonates.

Israel claims Iran moved it’s enriched uranium from the Fordow Nuclear Plant prior to the bombing strikes.

I’m curious about the 6 separate holes we saw. Grouped 3 and 3.

Were they able to compound the depth or did they miss the original hole and create 6 holes at the original single depth?

If Dresden was 300 ft under a mountain, we’d still be fighting Germans.

12 bombs, 6 holes. 12/6= 2
Two bombs per hole.

At each grouping, it appeared 1 hole was much larger than the other 2.

F=M*A

The velocity a 30k lb bomb reaches after a fall of 7.5 miles is the kinetic energy needed to penetrate the 60+ meters through concrete and rock. There is a time delay fuse that only explodes at target depth.

That warhead only contains around 5k of explosives.

The Mark-84 (2k bomb) used in WWII contained 945lbs of explosives. So the MOP has roughly 5.2x the explosive power as the Mark-84.

MOP uses the kinetic force for penetration.

So, then 7.5X the explosive power dropped on Dresden.

I’m no expert on this but wouldn’t a blast of that intensity pretty much liquify whatever solid materials into very tiny particles. Essentially making everything into fine sand and rubble at the most. Even is the lower chambers were to survive, they would be buried under millions of tons of material.

CNN is confident it only delayed them a few months.

So what your saying is that there's a chance it's destroyed? I appreciate your logic and don't want a science face off with you but the damage is enough to shut it down. Let's see what happens next. With Trump, he's always measured in the 24 hour news cycle.
