    I was a Weapons Systems Specialist with the 48th FW, stationed in Taif, Saudi Arabia, during Desert Shield/Storm. Fancy title for bomb loader. We knew ahead of time, that the GBU-28's were inbound from the states, and my crew and I were trying to be the ones who got the upload duty with those beauties, but that went to a crew that was on the day shift, and me and my crew loaded only at night. Nevertheless, I did get to see it on the ramp, before it went on its mission, and took a bunch of pics of them on our F-111F's. The aircraft had to have two MK-84s's (2000 lbs each) loaded on stations 3 & 4 on the left wing, just to get the balance close during flight. My crew and I loaded 352,500 lbs of live munitions, but would have LOVED to stake claim to those bad boys!

      Did you get a achievement medal for those levels of munitions? That’s very cool! I was AGE so I’m sure you used our Jammers and MHU”s to load the bombs.

      Yep, we pretty much all did. AF Meritorious Achievement medal. Yeah, I was a #2-man on the crew, but the #3-man was the one who drove the jammers. MJ-1's 99% of the time, and occasionally the MJ-4's. The big -60's for power on the a/c, etc. So long ago, my friend. Back on base, I worked in the load barn as a weapons load training instructor, but in Taif, we were humpin' bombs all night, just like any other crew. It was great to FINALLY get to do what you spend your career training for.

      ​@XAirForceThat's funny. I was selling Cat-V cables on my spare time. Nobody could get any and wanted to get onto the Iraqna and play games or talk to family. I bought $140 worth of line, crimpers, RJ45s and set to work making 10', 15', and 20' Straight-Through cables. Sold them for $10 to $15. Somebody didn't like that so they told the commander I had stolen SIPRnet line and was profiting off of government property. They ordered me to stop making cables. So I had all that stuff, I ended up packing it in the Connex to ship home. Ofcourse the Unit believing it was theirs. That whole experience coupled with a few others stayed with me and I couldn't wait to ETS from that hyper cynical unit.

    I was in Iceland in mid 1970's and we used F4C's as 'hot birds'. Designated SG01 and SG02, these were 'scrambled' with 'nuke' tipped air to air missiles and used for intercepting and accompanying Russian Bear-delta and Fox-delta long range bombers whenever they intruded on our air space. Having a WCT certification we attended debriefings with the pilots. They sometimes took us onto the flightline, and we saw these birds up close and personal.

It was quite a sight watching them take off with full afterburners. They all departed as a group and returned as a group. It was a challenge to separate so many aircraft at once. Good times!

    Don't know what was used but a news report last week about Gaza said 200 feet underground "was not enough". One of the capabilities mentioned years ago is serial bunker busters. The first bomb goes in and blows, and the second bomb follows into the hole made by the first bomb and continues deeper. Sounds good to me.

    All based on the work of the GENIUS Barnes Wallace who dreamt this bomb up before WW2, he viewed that destroying Enemy Infrastructure in the 1930s.
    It was not until they could get the casting technology right and a plane with a bomb bay big enough.
    I think it was 1943 that the bomb was made, from memory it took 2 weeks to fill and weighed 10Tonnes, then it was fitted to the Lancaster.
    This video should read an update of Barnes Wallace 1930 design.
    I think grandslam penetrated the ground to 100M and then 10 tonnes of torpedo went bang.

      Torpex has a RE factor of 1.3 so not quite 50% but still stronger than TNT. TNT is the gold standard and all explosives and sets the scale at 1. Current C-4 has a RE of 1.34. The idea of Torpex was to increase the “Brisance” or the shattering power for the explosive in torpedos, thus helping crack the hulls on enemy ships. Torpex is 40% TNT, 40% RDX, 18% aluminum and 1% wax binder.

      Actually the Brits developed a spherical bouncing bomb. It was code named HIGHBALL and was intended to be delivered by modified late-model Mosquitoes. They were used as an antishipping weapon and it worked very well against German coastal shipping off the Norwegian coast. Look up a movie called “Mosquito Squadron” and you will see some film footage of HIGHBALL being employed against surface ground targets. HIGHBALL required a mechanical device to spin up the weapon to a given RPM before release.

    You make this sound like it was the first ever "Bunker Buster" but let's give credit where credit is due. The Brits were the first develop a true bunker buster in WWII with their "Tall Boy" bombs that used mass alone to deeply penetrate to take out underground bunkers. Then the British Navy developed the Disney Boom that was smaller in diameter AND had a rocket motor to boost the speed. However, these early bombs lacked precision guidance for better effectiveness. So I'll grant that the GBU-28 is new in the regards of putting a skinny, heavy, delayed detonation bomb on target, but the concept of the bomb is not new at all.

    As a maintenance munitions officer, I had the opportunity to work on follow on programs (Advance Direct Strike Weapons) to the GBU 28 just a few months after Desert Storm. My boss was the program manger for the BLU 113. Our target sets were deep rock and concrete bunkers. One of the primary concerns was carrying such a load and how it could be made lighter than the GBU-28 and more effective.

The idea of a supersonic fighter bomber flying 100 feet off the ground was just amazing, I mean the radar keeping a bird that size that low is so effing special.

    WWII earthquake bombs (Tallboy & Grand Slam) used by the UK in WWII could penetrate the U-boat pens and V1 facilities.
    They were also capable of destroying railway viaducts and the like by exploding deep beneath them causing a "trapdoor effect" and the target structure dropped into the chasm thus created.
    The Tirpitz was sunk by a combination of direct hits and near misses. The near misses dug out the sandbank below the Tirpitz so thatit capsized as a result of the damage caused.
    If they had had the benefit of being guided they would have been even more effective.

    I would guess that the Mossad knows the structure profiles of Iran's nuclear facilities and has given that info to the US to design an appropriate weapon.
    In WW2 the british designed 28,000 pound bombs to destroy the submarine pens. The bombs were designed to not neccesarily hit the bunkers but land close and bury themselves deep. They had timed fuses so the bombs all detonated af the same time and created an earthquake like shock wave that shook the structures apart. Concrete is strong in compression but is relatively brittle.

Also worked on the Weapon System Trainer for the RAAF F-111C/HARPOON simulator. That was the most fun I had with the Aussies’ AF, but also worked on their tactical trainers for RAN platforms capable of shooting the HRPOON.

    A poxy little 4,400 pounder? That's not a bunker buster! Look at the RAF's Tallboy 12,000 pounder with a tungsten steel armour piercing nose - that's a bunker buster! It sank the unsinkable battleship Tirpitz and could penetrate about 30 feet of reinforced concrete. The RAF also had a 22,000 lb version called Grand Slam, but it was not much used as it was a bit too large to be practical.

    This weapon only works if the rooms are not secured by thick walls and blast doors that limit the spread of the explosion.
    Sure, it can penetrate from the top, but if it hits a concrete cell instead of an open space than it's range is severely limited.
