USAF GETS ITS FIRST DELIVERY OF 15 TON BUNKER-BUSTING BOMBS

Boeing delivers first batch of 30,000-pound bombs to Air Force

The Massive Ordnance Penetrator — the Air Force has ordered 20 from Boeing — is nearly five tons heavier than any other bomb in the military's arsenal and is made to pulverize underground targets.

... At a total cost of about $314 million, the military has developed and ordered 20 of the GPS-guided bombs, called Massive Ordnance Penetrators. They are designed to be dropped on targets by the Boeing-made B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber or Northrop Grumman Corp.'s B-2 stealth bomber.

... In an age of new emphasis on drones and lightweight weaponry, the Air Force's purchase highlights the Pentagon's ongoing need for defense contractors to build the kinds of big bombs and other heavy-duty ordnance they have produced for decades.

Packed with more than 5,300 pounds of explosives and more than 20 feet long, the giant bunker-busting bombs were tested at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the site of the first atomic bomb test during World War II.

I HOPE WE DROP THEM ON IRAN SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

I FEAR OBAMA AND AXELROD WILL TIME THE ATTACK FOR MAXIMUM DOMESTIC POLITICAL PAYOFF.

NOTE: THE USA SENT 55 SMALLER BUNKER-BUSTERS TO ISRAEL IN SEPTEMBER.

AND BRITAIN AND CANADA ARE READY....
