If the US intervenes in Israel’s war against Iran, it will be able to use a 13-ton bomb to destroy the country’s protected nuclear bases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> in Axios.<\/p>\n

This is the 13,600-kilogram GBU-57 E\/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), which is the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal.<\/p>\n

Only the US Armed Forces possess weapons capable of penetrating deeply defended targets.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow is located under a thick layer of rock and inaccessible to conventional aircraft. MOP is the only non-nuclear weapon capable of destroying this target.<\/p>\n

What is known about the MOP bomb?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

MOP is an ultra-precise aerial bomb capable of destroying weapons of mass destruction in protected facilities.<\/p>\n

It can be carried by the latest US B-2 Spirit bombers, which can operate unhindered over long distances.<\/p>\n

Experts suggest that it may take at least two MOP bombs to destroy the nuclear facility at Fordow.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that MOP bombs have never been used in a real conflict. But the situation around Iran may force the US to take this step.<\/p>\n

As is known, on the night of Friday, June 13, Israel carried out a large-scale air strike on the territory of Iran<\/a> . The targets were facilities related to the Iranian nuclear program.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that the US is preparing for a possible strike on Iran in the coming days<\/a> . This is evidenced by the preparation of infrastructure for direct conflict with Tehran.<\/p>\n
