De ce planul lui Trump de a dezlănțui „Mama tuturor bombelor” ar putea eșua în Iran, în ciuda puterii sale uriașe de distrugere

Military discussions are considering the use of the MOAB bomb against Iran's nuclear and military sites, but its effectiveness is limited against deeply buried and reinforced targets. Analysts suggest that the GBU-57 penetrator bomb is more suitable for such underground installations. While MOAB has a significant psychological impact, its military utility against fortified targets is questionable. The bomb's design causes it to explode in the air, dissipating much of its energy horizontally rather than penetrating deep structures. Iran's nuclear facilities are well-protected and buried, making them resilient to MOAB's explosive force. The military doctrine of Iran emphasizes underground facilities to counter aerial attacks, complicating the effectiveness of MOAB. In contrast, the GBU-57 is specifically designed to penetrate deep targets, making it a more appropriate choice for such missions.
