Did Israel just demonstrate it's new Bunker Buster capacities, on the Iranian Missile Base in Yemen? (JewsNews).
Editor’s Note…
One of the internet’s best independent analysts, Thomas Wictor, who specializes in Open Source Battle damage assessment, believes this may be the case: The Israelis and\or their Saudi allies have managed to come up with a roughly comparable substitute to the American MOAB Bunker Buster and have managed to convert a Boeing 707 tanker to a weaponized platform to carry such bombs.
The beta test was carried out on the Iranian missile base in Yemen during the recent Saudi operation Decisive storm against the Iranian proxies (Houthis) and their IRGC handlers. If he is correct, the Israeli-Sunni coalition now has a feasible military option against the Iranian nuclear facilities. *** Someone sends a message to Iran.
What you need to understand: That is a primary explosion. It came from one bomb. In both videos, you hear only one initial explosion. The second video contains echoes of the primary, and then you hear what I’m sure are antiaircraft cannons firing.
Also, the bomb blew up an underground facility. It penetrated however deeply and produced an explosion comparable to that of a tactical nuclear weapon. Until now, the world thought that only the US had the capability of destroying the Iranian underground nuclear installations. We’ve built twenty GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker busters. They have a 5300-lb (2404-kg) warhead.
All the experts said that the Israelis couldn’t bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities because they don’t have bunker busters that can penetrate deeply enough. They also don’t have strategic bombers, like the B-2 Spirit, the aircraft which would drop the MOP.
The official told Reuters that Yemeni authorities had received information that Iranian experts had brought in parts for the missiles at the base, located south of Sanaa.
Iran denies allegations made by some Yemeni and Western officials that it provides money and training to the Shi’ite Muslim Houthis, whose rapid territorial advances triggered an Arab military campaign against them. (Reuters)
Iranian experts were working on long-range missiles pointed toward neighboring countries. That means they were modern Iranian missiles. You don’t need to call in the Iranians to work on the old Soviet SCUD.
The Saudi-led coalition bombed the base twice, but that didn’t seem to make much of an impression on the Houthis and Iranians. So then this happened. Hmmmm........'Vorsprung Durch Technik'. Read the full story here.
What kind of bomb opens a mountain?
Not a #Saudi made one :)

I would like to point out that the bomb 'bunker buster' is actually the size of a small aircraft, if you look closely at the videos from this attack on Sana'a there is no visible trace of the missile before it lands. If it was indeed a 'bunker buster' then it should have clearly been visible in the sky before it landed.
ReplyDeleteIt was suggested at the time, that this was actually a tactical nuclear missile launched from sea by the American navy who were present in the area at the time. The site at Faj Attan should be investigated for any evidence of increased radiation in order to rule out this option.
ReplyDeleteI think You might be right with your tactical nuclear missile option.
