In the event the United States enters the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, a likely focus will be on degrading or destroying Tehran’s underground facilities that enrich nuclear material. That task would most likely fall to a small number of Air Force strategic bombers that are capable of delivering 30,000-pound precision-guided bombs designed to destroy subterranean targets. This bomb, the GBU-57, is better known as a “bunker buster” or the Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

This bomb, the GBU-57, is better known as a “bunker buster” or the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. Why is the MOP the right tool for the job? It’s in the name. The MOP is designed for deeply buried and fortified facilities, such as bunkers and tunnels. Its design, sheer weight and steel alloy construction allow it to burrow underground and then explode, according to the Air Force. Though the heaviest conventional weapon in the U.S. arsenal, it is not designed to saturate explosives over a wide area.
