The GBU-57 A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator is a powerful precision-guided weapon in the US military’s inventory, weighing approximately 13,600 kilograms. According to the US Air Force, it is specifically engineered to strike fortified underground bunkers and tunnels.
It is thought to be capable of reaching depths of around 61 meters before detonation, and multiple bombs can be deployed in sequence to progressively bore deeper into the ground with each explosion.
