    See this is exactly what I am worried about.

    The Fordow site is simply under too big of a fucking mountain for even our largest conventional penetrator bombs to actually significantly fuck up… unless you basically were able to pull off multiples of those bombs hitting the exact same point from nearly the same angle…

    GPS guided bombs are accurate, but not that accurate… you’d have to throw like 20% to 40% of the entire US stockpile of these fuckoff huge conventional penetrator bombs to literally dig a hole through the mountain.

    … Or, you drop one tactical nuke.

    fucking not good

    like this is what those air radar images were showing from 24/48 hrs ago.

    That was probably the US’s entire fucking B2 Bomber Fleet deploying.

      JDAM is supposed to have a circular error probable of 5m and it’s an upgrade kit from 25 years ago. I can definitely believe that a much newer purpose-built weapon can do better than that. The idea of hitting the same spot with multiple bombs might not actually be that unlikely

      I can totally see Trump just having a bunch of random bombs dropped in the general area, declaring victory and telling everyone to fuck off though.

      Iran will not dispute the strike was effective, and neither will Israel.
