The current iteration of the GBU-57 bunker buster bomb is reported to have the capacity to penetrate 200+ feet of earth before penetrating an additional 25 feet of armored concrete. If two B-2’s are deployed, the second plane can drop its ordinance into the colossal crater created by the first bomb thus penetrating an additional 200+ feet underground. This means that GBU-57’s already have greater penetrative power than a nuclear blast, without the radiological complications. Not satisfied with the devastatingly destructive capabilities of these “conventional” munitions, the USAF is continually working to enhance them with each new iteration that emerges every couple of years. If the Iranian regime believes its subterranean facilities provide it any real prophylaxis from aerial bombardment then they are sadly mistaken. In the current era of strategic bombing there is literally no place to safely hide.

a mop has the equivalent of 10 tons of tnt. The smallest nuke the americans have is a couple of kilotons. Also, nukes are air burst weapons. Therefore, the way the explosion works is different. If you air bust a mop it will not make a 200ft+ deep crater and the people will survive. You air bust a single digit kiloton nuke in the same place, everything for a couple of miles will be gone.

The Houthi dont store anything in big quantities anywhere. I know. Because I spent 4 months in Houthi controlled Yemen in 2017 and I saw first hand what they do. It was obvious that the Houthi had made strategic decisions to spread not just their bombs in multiple locations but also vehicles of all kind. You can literally see this everywhere. When driving from Sanaa to Hodiedah or Sanaa to Sadaa, both journies I have done, you can see the sides of mountains carved into small tunnels/caves and boxes of weapons stored there. Its not hidden. Anyway, the fact that the Houthis high sea terrorism is actually going to cause Egypt much more economic damage than Israel, and also has sped up the changing of far east sea routes to actually utilise the new Iraq port of Faw ( in construction right now and will be one of the largest container ports in the world allowing for freight to by-pass the Suez canal completely, rendering the Houthi response counter productive) is a moot point now. The dye has been cast. These supply chain routes are going to change. I'm available for middle east geo political consultancies if anyone wishes to reach out... cheers.

Ta very much khat eating stupid Houthi, that's what I say. 👍.... also Google TIR convention and Iraq... bit technical but it's another supply chain tool that benefits Iraq.

Speaking as a New Zealander, our leadership has been asleep at the wheel for decades - doubling down on farming and forestry as the main drivers of our economy instead of pivoting to IT and similar like Singapore has shown. The cozying up to China has been a result of real politik as that was giving us our biggest bag but it predictably led to them infiltrating all levels of politics from the regions to the national stage on all sides of the political isle barring some of the smaller parties. This about face of the current leadership - which comprise of a coalition govt formed by a muppet, a corpse and a human thumb - is just a continuation of spineless and talent-less career politicians desperately flailing around to appease their selfish voter base and corporate sponsors. Gone are the days of real leadership as the voting population of this country becomes more disillusioned, apathetic and easily herded into policies that do them more harm than good. Do not believe the hype, NZ is a deeply conservative country that props up our tourist industry via lies while it sells its citizens futures to the lowest bidder. All the while resting on the laurels of political greats of yesteryear that had, not only vision but the spine to see it through, for ALL New Zealanders.

Just remembered the video of new airforce pilots reacting to their assigned airplanes, I hope that new B2 pilot is out there

Is there any way to buy a tourism package to join a B2 pilot during these runs? I heard they have a bed and a microwave in that bad boy

The only issue i have with all the attitude about how capable the B2 is, eventualy it will get old, we will lose one and everyone will freak out. Just like they did the F117 after it was in flight forever. Im just waiting to hear people get excited for knocking down a 30-40-50 year old plane. But that shows how crazy the B2 was on first draft. Imagine being the first person to see the designs for the thing 🤣

I wonder, what was the whole cost of this b2 bombing mission in particular
@ChrisFarrell8 сағат бұрын
Really curious about this too, but I think it must be basically impossible to quantify. The actual cost probably wasn’t insane, maybe $1-5M, but that’s just a crazy guess. But how do you account for things like pro-rated research costs? Or its value as deterrent? I remember when these things were first introduced in the late 80s and the cost just seemed utterly insane, far out of proportion to any value we might get out of them even as deterrence, and that instinct has been proven 100% correct over the system’s lifetime so far. It’s hard to not factor that outlandish initial investment into the cost of the mission. But given that we did make that decision however long ago it was and that money has already been spent, the incremental cost of running one mission was probably only extravagant and not completely outrageous.

Huh I never heard about the Americans performing any B2 strikes....Although I guess that means the plane worked perfectly.

We knew the b2's were a threat. Because it was just six or eight months ago that they flew the b2's to Turkey let him sit there overnight and then flew him back to England. As far as the US military is concerned we really don't have any idea where the B2 came from.

NZ isn’t taking sides with China or the US. Choosing between your largest trading partner of your traditional Anglophile allies is a bad position to find yourself in. NZ and the rest of the pacific islands don’t want to get involved in these spats as it is bad for the South Pacific.

Historically, you'd be correct. However, the muppet the corpse and the human thumb are not the most adroit international players. They have effectively pissed their pants and gone running to our historical allies.
