Bunker busters made it too expensive for tin pot r-slurs to hide.

Very good invention.

I was genuinely shocked by the figure that such a bomb could penetrate 30 meters into the ground.

30 meters is 100 feet. That's 10 stories. How could a gravity bomb dig that far down before exploding? I mean there's, like, soil, rocks, and bedrock in the way.

You can't convince me that a gravity-dropped bomb could dig through 100 feet of earth. It has no engine or anything.

What am I missing here?

Edit: I'm not disputing that these IDF strikes happened; I just don't understand how they did it.

I think the key thing you're missing is just how big these things are, and how fast they are going. They're not chair legs, they're huge, and fast. The famous GBU-28 was made from 8-inch M110 howitzer barrels, 5.8m x 0.4m weighing just over 2 metric tons, and it hit the ground going supersonic. That's almost precisely a F-150 Regular Cab (with the 8 foot bed) compressed into a tube the diameter of a standard pizza - mass and length identical.

It can go through 50 meters of earth or 5 meters of reinforced concrete.

Didn't they rig together some worn out artillery barrels the first time they needed them?

Northrop Grumman is working on the Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF), an electronic, cockpit programmable, fuze capable of destroying deeply buried and targets. It provides multiple delay arming and detonation times, as well as a void-sensing capability, which allows for precision activation of the fuze for 2,000-and-5,000-pound (910 and 2,270 kg) weapons to explode when they reach an open space in a deeply buried bunker.

The extra speed provided by a rocket motor enables greater penetration of a missile-mounted bunker buster warhead. To reach maximum penetration (impact depth), the warhead may consist of a high-density projectile only.

A bunch of kinetic energy and multiple controlled explosions to make sure the boom goes in the right place

So okay a large mass dropped from a F-16 or whatever penetrates ten stories into dirt & solid rock?

Am I really being stupid here?

Again, I am not being a moon lander denier here. I believe that an IDF F-16 dropped a bomb and it somehow plowed through 100 feet of earth.

What. am. I. Missing. Please tell me.

Nothing. Big heavy steel cylinder dropped from 30k feet in the air moves really fast and smashes through everything in it's path. There's a couple tricky parts but they're mostly solved.

  • Optimal geometry for pentration. Long, skinny, heavier, and denser objects penetrate further. Pretty intuitive. Think stabbing something with a needles vs a pen vs a dowel. This used to be harder but modern computers make it simple to model.

  • Having a suffciently strong case that it doesn't crumple on impact.

  • Having a nonsensative explosive. Try this with TNT and the shock of the impact could set off the bomb.

  • TIme delay fuze. This is the trickiest part. Modern fuzes make it relatively easy though since they are electronic and set off after a time delay from a shock sensor.

Also they dropped dozens of these on this one spot.

Here's a funny story: underneath this lil grove in North Carolina https://maps.app.goo.gl/7bFHnmnZfmSf9p8m9 is buried the second stage of a thermonuclear bomb that the USAF accidentally dropped from a plane ("1961 Goldsboro B-52 crash"). The estimated depth it's at is ~180ft, so rather than trying to dig it up the government just bought that parcel of land and fenced it off. It was not designed to be a bunker buster or anything like that, it just was a very dense, heavy, and fast chunk of uranium, turns out such things can penetrate deep.

These clips are from Gaza, not Lebanon.

The rubble is typical to Gazan districts rather than Lebanese architecture. Viewers cameras had been readied due to IDF warnings. In addition, "Al-Buriej" written on one of the frames
