The GBU-57 high-precision aerial bomb is capable of penetrating the ground to a depth of 61 meters before exploding and is designed to destroy heavily fortified underground military facilities.
The United States will triple production of the largest non-nuclear bomb, the GBU-57 precision-guided aerial bomb, designed to destroy underground nuclear installations. Bloomberg reported this on Tuesday, May 14.
According to the publication, the US military leadership has already developed a project to expand an army plant in southeastern Oklahoma. It should reach its peak in the fall of 2024.
The plant will produce the GBU-57 precision bomb, otherwise known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. This bomb is capable of penetrating the ground up to a depth of 61 meters before detonating and is designed to destroy underground military installations.
According to preliminary data, the area of additional facilities on the territory of the army plant will be 181 square kilometers. This will extend the increase in production to six to eight pumps per month. Currently, the production capacity of the enterprise is two pumps.
Note that the GBU-57 was developed by Boeing in 2007 for the US Army. It is designed to destroy the underground strongholds of Iran and the DPRK and is the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the US arsenal.
Earlier, the United States recalled that it had warned Russia about the consequences of using nuclear weapons.
