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. That one pic at 6:42 sure looked like a phantom to me!
I was an Air Traffic Controller at Taif during Desert Storm, worked in the Radar Approach Control. If memory serves, we had approx 100 F-111’s (F & EF models). 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!
I was a bee bee stacker and worked inside the big arched concrete bunkers they were atomic bomb proof. In the cold winter they were 58 dagrees inside. In the hot summer they were about 62 degrees inside.
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. It would sink bridges on foundations as it turned the ground to liquid.
08:12 - Strazevica (Belgrade, Serbia) command center is under 100m (300 feet) of soil and rock. It was designed to withstand 20kt explosion (so if you drop a Hiroshima bomb directly on top of it, it would survive). The biggest "bunker buster bomb" NATO dropped there was 2.5 tones of weight and it simply failed to go deep enough.
A nuclear device is not made to penetrate a target. The Americans have developed a fairly new bunker buster, the 30,000 lb. GBU57. It will supposedly penetrate 200 ft. of concrete.
I was a 7 level Avionics Systems Specialist assigned to the 494th F111F FS. in Taif, Saudi Arabia during the war. The video does confuse the types of aircraft shown on screen but the narration is correct. Even the details about how quickly the weapon was designed and deployed. The first two were dropped by 494th aircraft and the bomb casings were still warm/hot from the when the Tritonol (explosive) was poured. Those two bombs were loaded and shipped real fast
0:30 - It just wouldn't be Dark Tech if they didn't do something like calling an F1117 Nighthawk an "F117" while showing a -Lancer- Aardvark in the first 30 seconds...
The ingenuity which human beings will go to, in order to destroy each other, never ceases to amaze me. We are well on the way to enjoying the fate of the dinosaurs.

The WW2 explosive, 'Torpex', developed at the Royal Gunpowder Factory in the UK was 50% more powerful than TNT. Torpex included 18% powdered aluminium. The German equivalent of Torpex was Trialen.
I remember my father talking about this he was part of the original Nike Hercules missle project they were trying to figure out what explosive to use of course then I was only 11 years old so I had no clue what they were talking about until years later when I asked him
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.
Reminds me of a book called Dam Busters I read in the early 1950s. It was mostly about those round bouncing bombs, but I think it had something like these.
Nah, dam busters or (Bouncing Barrel Bombs) were essentially modified depth charges that they packed with more explosives, they would come in on the lake side of the dam, drop the barrel and it would skip across the water, hit the top of the dam and roll over and down the face of the dam before it exploded.
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.
I wouldn't care if the bomb turned the ground into margarine, since that stuff tastes like s**t anyway. But not butter, for heavens sake! Not delicious butter!
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.
Recent Russian hypersonic missile destroyed a Ukrainian reinforced bunker nearly three hundred feet deep (I believe I have that correct). In the process it took out and extraordinarily large group of high ranking military personnel and USA advisors
And the USAF decided to go with the GBU-57 MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator). Also, I'm stoked to see that you used footage of AMMO troops in the video, as I was one for my 12 year Air Force career. Most times in videos like this they'll only show the loaders, which in the Air Force is a completely different AFSC/MOS.
@@SonnyoYucatan its just a reminder to some and for others who don t know the real story behind american agression and of clourse you are shamed by your county and its po;icies but c est la vie you own it
How does the GBU-28compare to the Grand Slam bombs:? Which would be more powerful , being dropped from 40000 feet a 8000 pound bomb or a 22000 pound bomb .
Well, different design and purposes, one was designed to cause a quake and use seismic waves for destruction. Other is a penetrator. There is an interesting UA-cam video about tests conducted on the valentine bunker after WW2.
When a deep target absolutely, positively has to be destroyed, try the fairly new 30,000lb. GBU57. It has harder steel than anything before it, so it can penetrate deep, and has modern explosives that are far more powerful than anything made in WW2.
The speed at which this thing was developed and tested was mind numbing. But it begs the question, was it really that fast or is everything else developed by US military industry just really slow. Which seems much more reasonable. Especially when you consider some of the insane costs that go towards R-n-D.
I worked on the project to build this at the Watervliet arsenal and its still considered one of the quickest projects to go from concept to being made and deployed
I heard they found the howitzer gun barrels were laying around and rusty. They needed a slim long object to pour the tritanal in. Like a long cigar shape. The rusty howitzer barrels did the trick. One guy told the barrels were still warm from the tritanal being poured in. I interviewed Col. White and his WSO after the raid. Story was published in a book about the 48th FW after the war. It was called "When Diplomacy Failed"
Another great video. I’m an old Veteran, but I seem to remember a call for 105’s during the first or second Gulf War. I guess they wanted the barrels? They got one from a company here in the Rocky Mountains - they specialized in using cannons to create small avalanches that prevented larger avalanches. I could be wrong or mistaken….

I thought the F111's were decommissioned. I loved that plane when I was growing up. I always thought that plane was special. The terrain following radar and low level attack capabilities were amazing, so much so it almost never lived through development. The swing wing always sealed the deal for me. I love the Tomcat and swing wing designs. 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. Why they don't use them still is disturbing, I know when something is expensive it is hard to hold on to; but, when an aircraft is that amazing, I think it is worth holding on to.
Imagine spending so much money researching and developing this new bomb, when the British Tallboy bomb made in World War 2 could penetrate 60 feet and blow the side off a mountain.
The tallboy could do all that to a target if it wasn’t floating and landed within reasonable distance to damage the foundations. Otherwise it’s an overrated dumb bomb which ironically had a guidance upgrade which barely got used in Korea, the ASM-A-1 Tarzon.
"Accomplishments of the Tallboy included 24 June 1944 Operation Crossbow attack on La Coupole which undermined the foundations of the V-2 assembly bunker and a Tallboy attack on the Saumur tunnel on 8-9 June 1944, when bombs passed straight through the hill and exploded inside the tunnel 60 ft (18 m) below the surface (stopping Panzer reinforcements reaching Normandy)" Interesting! Thanks for the input. But the GB-28 smashed through (164ft) Sounds like the research paid off.
You can get past that bunker buster bomb by having a 2-3ft gap approximately 40-50ft deep and 50-60ft above bunker its self and you can place blast armor in that gap so as soon as the bomb hits that gap with blast armor it detonates the bomb before hitting bunker itself.
The Army Air Corps during WW2 had begun some guided bomb programs known by different names, among them AZON and RAZON. After the USAF was created, these programs had matured sufficiently to be used in the Korean War against Communist targets. They were rather large weapons that needed a B-29 for delivery.
U also pay for ur roads schools and medical care for when ur old. Go live in a hole if u don't want to pay taxes. Somewhere with no roads, no electricity, no medical care,. Preferably afghanistan
Not sure about the math, but it does great when the particles are dispersed into a cloud before the initial explosion. It's also used in some solid rocket motor fuel.
A really interesting piece, but as always you completely spoil it by talking about one thing - for example a F1-11 in this case then throwing in pictures of any old plane footage you can find, we had some F-4 Phantoms in this, a F-15, wouldn't of surprised me to see a Mustang and a Sopworth Camel make an appearance along with the Memphis Belle.
About the time these were being developed I was working on projects for the military building bunker bustproof structures. We were only told that our structures were being blown up but could not tell us results and the designs we built were classified at the time. Now I know why we built them between 1991-1994.
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.
Do you know the people put them in charge??? Oh, and I know you’re gonna say “I didn’t”… it’s called democracy, we as a society need to monitor who we put in office a lot better than we’ve been doing…
You show on your picture on UA-cam a Fuel air bomb which does turn the ground to butter, but I saw no butter here. You showed a pic of C-5A and said it was a C-141. Then after correctly showing FB-111s but still called an F-4 an FB-111.
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.
Yeah, the F111 Arrdvark rules. One of my faves too. Capable of super fast, super low intrusion before stealth. Could deliver nukes. Swing wings, Side by side crew capsule. And it looks great doing all that. Look good, play good.
The 48th flew the F model Vark. The E models were at Upper Heyford. The Ds were at Cannon with the 27th TFW. The As were were everywhere with 42 converted to EF-111A Spark Varks.
@@captjinxmarine9832 Yes, the Vark was one of my faves too. I got to work on the Operational Flight Simulator for the EF-111A trainer. That is the closest I got to work on the Vark. 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.
These advanced bunker busters are utilizing entirely new technology. They are not just tweaking of old bunker busters, or simply adding aluminum powder to the explosives.
Great video - the only thing I would point out that is an error is the aircraft mentioned at the 6:28 mark is the C-141 (Star-lifter) - but the image of the exterior and interior of the aircraft is actually a C-5 (Galaxy).
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.
I enjoy your presentations. I recognize your voice and narration from previous videos and I enjoy how you present this information. Thanks and I subscribed with a thumbs up. Thanks.

@SUNREDSTAR anyone who has been danger-close to a 155 battery-3 time-on-target mission knows it doesn’t take much to turn the ground to butter. Yeah, a click-bait title.
GBU-72: 60 meters (200 feet) through 5,000 psi reinforced concrete, 40 meters (125 feet) through moderately hard rock and 8 meters (25 feet) through 10,000 psi reinforced concrete.
I am sure some have been used in the current Gaza war already. I have see IDF videos of tunnels exploding when a bomb was dropped. It looked like lighting spreading along the ground.
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.
Operation "Deep Throat"? Geez. Was that executed in conjunction with Operation Finger Bang? Or Operation Doggy Style? I always forget. Oh no wait, Doggy Style came later. First it was Glory Hole. I always get these operations mixed up, but my GF likes it that way.

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.
It would sink bridges on foundations as it turned the ground to liquid.
Not 100m deepest was about 35m in sand.
another stupid war that we got lied into
@jantschierschky3461 If it was sand that would be pretty good , because they use it in bags to stop bullets
@@briansewell1480 bullets are different to bombs.
Barnes Wallace - the earthquake bomb. Why try to hit a bridge or a battleship when a near miss with an earthquake bomb destroys things.
The British used 12,000 pound and 20,000 pound bunker busters in WW2, to attack u-boat pens and the German battleship Tirpitz.
But did they turn the ground into butter?

08:12 - Strazevica (Belgrade, Serbia) command center is under 100m (300 feet) of soil and rock. It was designed to withstand 20kt explosion (so if you drop a Hiroshima bomb directly on top of it, it would survive). The biggest "bunker buster bomb" NATO dropped there was 2.5 tones of weight and it simply failed to go deep enough.
A nuclear device is not made to penetrate a target.
The Americans have developed a fairly new bunker buster, the 30,000 lb. GBU57. It will supposedly penetrate 200 ft. of concrete.
Rock mining on the side. They just hit the rock again and again. Some of Sadam's bunkers also were built by ex-YU companies.
I was a 7 level Avionics Systems Specialist assigned to the 494th F111F FS. in Taif, Saudi Arabia during the war. The video does confuse the types of aircraft shown on screen but the narration is correct. Even the details about how quickly the weapon was designed and deployed. The first two were dropped by 494th aircraft and the bomb casings were still warm/hot from the when the Tritonol (explosive) was poured. Those two bombs were loaded and shipped real fast

The WW2 explosive, 'Torpex', developed at the Royal Gunpowder Factory in the UK was 50% more powerful than TNT. Torpex included 18% powdered aluminium. The German equivalent of Torpex was Trialen.
Called tritonal in the US
22000lb earthquake bomb dropped by modified Lancaster bombers in WW2
I remember my father talking about this he was part of the original Nike Hercules missle project they were trying to figure out what explosive to use of course then I was only 11 years old so I had no clue what they were talking about until years later when I asked him
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.
@@ryanhampson673 Hence the name "Torpex" - 'Torpedo Explosive'.
Reminds me of a book called Dam Busters I read in the early 1950s. It was mostly about those round bouncing bombs, but I think it had something like these.
Nah, dam busters or (Bouncing Barrel Bombs) were essentially modified depth charges that they packed with more explosives, they would come in on the lake side of the dam, drop the barrel and it would skip across the water, hit the top of the dam and roll over and down the face of the dam before it exploded.
You're right. The Lancaster carried the Tallboy against tough targets like the Tirpitz and fortifications during WW2
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.
those were also invented bu wallace along with bunker busters
If it’s turning the ground into butter, it’s not a monster bomb: it’s a MAGIC bomb! 🧈🥐🥞
Those poor people were toast.
Could be a very lucrative new manufacturing procedure.
parkay
The new one turns the ground to cheese... a nice roquefort I think!!!!
I wouldn't care if the bomb turned the ground into margarine, since that stuff tastes like s**t anyway. But not butter, for heavens sake! Not delicious butter!
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.
I was actually watching a video about what you’re talking about, and this one was the next recommended video.
He makes it pretty clear that bunker busters already existed but still weren’t capable of accomplishing the mission at hand. Enter the GBU-28
He actually didn't buttplug, did you even watch the video?
@@andrewmiller1260 I’m glad somebody corrected that😂
You do know you can't compare the old bombs to the new bombs. He was basically enhancing the point this bomb was in a whole new class of its own.
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.
Fake, and if it's not fake you need to be reprimanded
“It can penetrate thickness of 20’ of concrete”. Holy shit man! That’s incredible when you think about how powerful that has to be. 🙏🏼
And if the concrete is thicker they will use a series of bunker busters one after the next to pound their way down like a giant impact drill.
@@josephastier7421 That’s tight. I’d love to see that in action. From behind the safety of my keyboard of course 🤣

Recent Russian hypersonic missile destroyed a Ukrainian reinforced bunker nearly three hundred feet deep (I believe I have that correct).
In the process it took out and extraordinarily large group of high ranking military personnel and USA advisors
Not necessarily the enemy's concrete though!
And the USAF decided to go with the GBU-57 MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator). Also, I'm stoked to see that you used footage of AMMO troops in the video, as I was one for my 12 year Air Force career. Most times in videos like this they'll only show the loaders, which in the Air Force is a completely different AFSC/MOS.

How does the GBU-28compare to the Grand Slam bombs:? Which would be more powerful , being dropped from 40000 feet a 8000 pound bomb or a 22000 pound bomb .
Grand slam was more powerful and penetrated to 100M, it destroyed bridges by sinking the whole structure into the ground.
Well, different design and purposes, one was designed to cause a quake and use seismic waves for destruction. Other is a penetrator. There is an interesting UA-cam video about tests conducted on the valentine bunker after WW2.
As designed by Banes Wallis the Tallboy and Grand Slam were deep penetration bombs, they were nicknamed earthquake bombs.@@jantschierschky3461
When a deep target absolutely, positively has to be destroyed, try the fairly new 30,000lb. GBU57. It has harder steel than anything before it, so it can penetrate deep, and has modern explosives that are far more powerful than anything made in WW2.

Im sure at times it is hard to get enough actual footage to fill the time of the video, after all its not like they use these bombs every day.
C-141 is hardly used anymore
Or show an F-4 when talking about a F111….
Why are you guys using f4 phantoms as examples of f111. Other footage is erroneous also. Am I just over shooting the mark?
I love how a C-141 became a C-5A … and then into a C-17 cargo area.
thats when I stopped watching
And the C-17 loading what looked to be a satellite being shipped no less. lol
Also the f111 became an f4
My grandfather built and wrote the handling and shipping manuals for GBU’s at Eglin AFB. I even got to see some tests
During Ops Enduring Freedom, I was deployed to Al Taji base for 18 months.
The speed at which this thing was developed and tested was mind numbing.
But it begs the question, was it really that fast or is everything else developed
by US military industry just really slow. Which seems much more reasonable.
Especially when you consider some of the insane costs that go towards R-n-D.
I worked on the project to build this at the Watervliet arsenal and its still considered one of the quickest projects to go from concept to being made and deployed
Then there's another option. Maybe they have things nobody was told about. Can design things rather quickly when it's already been done before.
I heard they found the howitzer gun barrels were laying around and rusty. They needed a slim long object to pour the tritanal in. Like a long cigar shape. The rusty howitzer barrels did the trick. One guy told the barrels were still warm from the tritanal being poured in. I interviewed Col. White and his WSO after the raid. Story was published in a book about the 48th FW after the war. It was called "When Diplomacy Failed"
People need to remember that by the time we see a military gadget it's already been in planning and production for 40 years.
Was developed in 70s actually had to sign a 50 year nondisclosure agreement nuff said
Another great video. I’m an old Veteran, but I seem to remember a call for 105’s during the first or second Gulf War. I guess they wanted the barrels? They got one from a company here in the Rocky Mountains - they specialized in using cannons to create small avalanches that prevented larger avalanches. I could be wrong or mistaken….

I thought the F111's were decommissioned. I loved that plane when I was growing up. I always thought that plane was special. The terrain following radar and low level attack capabilities were amazing, so much so it almost never lived through development. The swing wing always sealed the deal for me. I love the Tomcat and swing wing designs. 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. Why they don't use them still is disturbing, I know when something is expensive it is hard to hold on to; but, when an aircraft is that amazing, I think it is worth holding on to.
Imagine spending so much money researching and developing this new bomb, when the British Tallboy bomb made in World War 2 could penetrate 60 feet and blow the side off a mountain.
👍👍
The tallboy could do all that to a target if it wasn’t floating and landed within reasonable distance to damage the foundations.
Otherwise it’s an overrated dumb bomb which ironically had a guidance upgrade which barely got used in Korea, the ASM-A-1 Tarzon.
Imagine not realizing that the Tallboy weighed 10 tons and took a larger bomber to carry one. Today they load 6, 8 or 10 under the wings of fighters.
"Accomplishments of the Tallboy included 24 June 1944 Operation Crossbow attack on La Coupole which undermined the foundations of the V-2 assembly bunker and a Tallboy attack on the Saumur tunnel on 8-9 June 1944, when bombs passed straight through the hill and exploded inside the tunnel 60 ft (18 m) below the surface (stopping Panzer reinforcements reaching Normandy)"
Interesting! Thanks for the input. But the GB-28 smashed through (164ft) Sounds like the research paid off.
The tallboy was a masterpiece of engineering and craftsmanship... For its time.
You can get past that bunker buster bomb by having a 2-3ft gap approximately 40-50ft deep and 50-60ft above bunker its self and you can place blast armor in that gap so as soon as the bomb hits that gap with blast armor it detonates the bomb before hitting bunker itself.
20 feet of concrete... Hot damn...
No, “Hot Butter”
I didn’t realize it took so much to make butter. I’m going to really enjoy and appreciate it , from now on.
Thank you Dark Dude.
i wonder how it would compare to the WW2 Grand Slam bomb - it was designed on the dame principles, but was a LOT larger.
There is nothing like a dame. Nothing in the world.
The Army Air Corps during WW2 had begun some guided bomb programs known by different names, among them AZON and RAZON. After the USAF was created, these programs had matured sufficiently to be used in the Korean War against Communist targets. They were rather large weapons that needed a B-29 for delivery.

Adding 20% aluminum powder makes the explosive mixture 18% more effective? Is this DoD math or am I missing something?
Not sure about the math, but it does great when the particles are dispersed into a cloud before the initial explosion. It's also used in some solid rocket motor fuel.
Nah, that's probably some bullshit spread by DARPA

Never ceases to amaze me the time money and effort we have put in in order to butcher each other
A really interesting piece, but as always you completely spoil it by talking about one thing - for example a F1-11 in this case then throwing in pictures of any old plane footage you can find, we had some F-4 Phantoms in this, a F-15, wouldn't of surprised me to see a Mustang and a Sopworth Camel make an appearance along with the Memphis Belle.
About the time these were being developed I was working on projects for the military building bunker bustproof structures. We were only told that our structures were being blown up but could not tell us results and the designs we built were classified at the time. Now I know why we built them between 1991-1994.
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 always liked the line from Pacific Rim...
In order to fight monsters,we built monsters to fight them.

First. Love your show sir
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.
That's not how the bombs destroyed submarine pens. Do some research.
And now, because of this video, they’ll go deeper. But, knowing us, it won’t make a difference.
Delivered by one of greatest plane, F-111Es. A ship that will be forgotten by my military generation.

" I can't believe it's not butter ! ".... is what no-one said when the bomb exploded....
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.

I'm impressed that even death he is still hiding those weapons of mass destruction. He's good
I am sure some have been used in the current Gaza war already. I have see IDF videos of tunnels exploding when a bomb was dropped. It looked like lighting spreading along the ground.
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.
