The March 26th Pentagon declared that the United States had successfully tried a giant vapor bomb that could destroy solid targets deep underground like a nuclear base.

Notice from the Pentagon's Threatening Defense Agency (DTRA), a 13.5-ton bomb named Heavyweight Weapons (MOP) underwent testing in New Mexico earlier this month to be assessed for the possibility of attacking underground complexes.

MOP's ability to target solid targets deep underground allows it to threaten enemy's high-value military bases, especially those protected by weapons of mass destruction. The MOP manufacturing program has been implemented since 2004 worth USD 30 million. This contract is awarded to Boeing.

The giant vapor bomb was designed to be dropped from B-52 or B-2 bombers aimed at solid targets and deep underground like nuclear facilities, where conventional bombs are now ineffective. chemical.

The trial came with the steam bomb released from B-52 aircraft.

DTRA said the impact of MOP would be 10 times that of the current BLU-109 bomb. Unlike BLU, MOP is directed to the target using a GPS navigation device.
