If the US enters the conflict between Israel and Iran, it is expected to have an important role in destroying the bottom of Uranium facilities in Iran.
That task is hardly falling into a selected US bomber number enough to deliver a 307 loud bombreratrator, or mop – the strongest nuclear bomb.
Falling from a B2 stealth bomb, the 6m-long mop can be reported to be overwhelmed with 60 meters of stone wealth – before heavy. Because this is the reserved reserved, a lot of bombs can fall into an area.
That gives the mop, which is stronger than any known gunshot bomb of Israel, can sufficient effect of destroying most of the IranSurclecle Alelloch Aprochicte Apilitality, especially the Natanz site, thought of being buried 20 meters under the underground under 2 meters reinforced concrete.
However, it may not be enough to destroy the more heavy Fordlow facility, buried within a mountain under 80 meters enhanced for that specific purpose.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says some of the most sensitive Fordlow facilities can be born even in the middle of the ground.
“I have been there many times,” he told the Ft this month. “To get there you took a spiral tunnel, downward, low.”
The lack of any guarantee that a successful strike strike, or even a series of strikes, will be damaged by the most or all of the Nuclear stockpile of the Fordwe recalled in a similar situation in the US in the past.

“The US Air Force is confident that they can destroy 85 percent of targets – that is also plans for a follow-up attack on the ground, a US military historian, a US military author Bombing to winA landmark survey of the 20th century bombing campaigns.
“In case of Iran, how can the US National Security Council sure they can get everything? That’s the big issue,” he said.
Made in Boeing, the mop is tried at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico but has not been used in active combat. That can be introduced by a second problem.
“To destroy Fordlow, clearly designed the mop, may take at least two bombs, each hitting exactly the same place,” says Pae.
“That would be good, and I’m sure the US Air Force has technical capabilities. But it has never done before a real war.”
The number of 22th mop in the Mop, the widespread windshield of the ordnactice or Moab, known as the mother of all the bombs, not so powerful in a snim in the hatred of the hatred of the hatred of the hatred of the hatred.

The US arsenal is thought to contain 20 mokops. Each pump is worth about $ 4mn, based on a 2011 $ 28mn US Force peratic pericence of eight of them.
The B2 Spirit Stealth Stealth Bomber is configured to bring and deliver the mop. There are 20 B2 service bombs, According to the US Air ForceEach of them can carry two mokops, one of each of its bays bays.
The firefighter, made by Northrop Grumman, has a non-violent 4,000km, or 19,000km with a middle refueling – make any target in the world to reach.
In spite of the frightening mop and B2 bomber, any mission to destroy the Fordlow plant will face other tactical difficulties, said Pa.
The first is that dropping is more than one facility bomb may require the Loiter bomber on its target, which can be weak in air defenses in Iran.
“B2 is a stealth bomb, but it is designed to avoid radar – it’s not stealthy in every aspect,” says Paape. “For example, it has a flat bottom – which can be contaminated as a 737 aircraft in anti-air designs.”
The second challenge will contain cleaning a safe flight road for B2 Bomber on its target. That can be by using anti-radar designs that can take out Iran radar installations that Israeli forces have not been destroyed.
“But Iran can expect US cutting in a corridor,” Pape said. “Bombing raids can work – but it is necessary to start awareness that it has never been done before.”
