When You Care Enough To Send The Very Best

According to a report in NewsMax, B-2 Stealth bombers are being retrofitted with new 30,000-pound-class "penetrator bombs" or bunker busters. Northrup Grumman is doing the work under a seven-month, $2.5 million contract.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

The new Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), which is being developed by the Boeing Co., is a GPS-guided weapon containing more than 5,300 pounds of conventional explosives inside a 20.5-foot-long enclosure of hardened steel. It is designed to penetrate dirt, rock and reinforced concrete to reach enemy bunker or tunnel installations.

The B-2 is capable of carrying two MOPs, one in each weapons bay.

"This integration contract is part of Northrop Grumman's on-going effort to ensure that the B-2 remains capable of delivering a decisive blow to an increasingly sophisticated enemy," said Dave Mazur, vice president of long-range strike for the company's Integrated Systems sector.

Perhaps the great unwashed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should lift his head from the floor mat long enough to let the blood back to his atrophied brain. He might then realize that if it's Armageddon he desires, Iran may well be ground zero.
