The B2 will carry a pair of these, right. I wonder how it would do against something built like the NORAD complex under Cheyenne Mountain? Would it even make a dent?:confused:
Maybe if they replaced the 5300lbs of explosives with a 25 Mt nuke.

Looking out my den window now at Cheyenne Mountain. I guess it really depends where it hits, but you have a good 2000 feet of rock (granite: lots of hard quartz and feldspar) above most of the complex. Hitting lower on the sides at an angle, and you’re sacrificing kinetic energy for penetration. I’d assume this thing comes down more or less vertically.
