From the New York Post: The Pentagon released stunning footage showcasing how the 30,000-pound heavy-duty bunker-buster bombs that were used against Iran demolish fortified targets deep underground.
The video shows a GBU-57 series MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) crashing into a target and unleashing a bright inferno through a shaft.
“Unlike a normal surface bomb, you won’t see an impact crater because they’re designed to deeply bury and then function,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Caine explained to reporters during a press briefing Thursday.
“All six weapons at each vent at Fordow [uranium enrichment plant] went exactly where they were intended to go.”
The video appears to be a demonstration only, and not the actual bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Crews went to work on Friday; they kissed their loved ones goodbye, not knowing when or if they would be home. Late on Saturday night, their families became aware of what was happening, and on Sunday, when those jets returned from Whiteman, their families were there. Flags flying and tears flowing,” Caine shared.
