US Tests 15-Ton Bunker Buster
Global Security Newswire is reporting that the U.S. has tested a 15-Ton 'Bunker Buster':
| In a tunnel under the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the U.S. military this month conducted the first test detonation of a massive bomb designed to crack hardened bunkers... At the helm of the $30 million project to develop what the Defense Department calls the Massive Ordnance Penetrator is the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, a Pentagon branch devoted to countering threats from weapons of mass destruction. The 30,000-pound bomb could be deployed against the type of underground facilities in which Iran is engaged in uranium-enrichment work in defiance of tightening U.N. sanctions... |
Perhaps the ratio is one ton to one kidnapped Brit.
The timing for the test is relevant, as Jules Crittenden reports that Britain's treatment of Iran will enter a “different phase” if negotiations fail.
