Well, they could have used the old drawings from this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Slam_%28bomb%29
Or to be more modest, this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallboy_bomb#Design

Serious stuff, and nothing new here. Always re-invent the wheel though right?

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Maybe they are planning on using these against Irans underground nuclear facilities, or any other country who we have knowledge of making underground nuclear weapons.
Kinda funny how these get delivered just in time as the America is pledging to stop iran's nuclear capabilities.

Just another tool in the tool box.

When you gotta go deep  .. ohh yaa baby, let it RAIN!!

..and if there is an unsuspecting small village above a target that warrants these .. we call that 'collateral damage' .. they call it 'camoflage'
..either way it will be instant urban renewal.

maybe my math is way off but isn't this around 15 kilotons?? Fat man was barely over 20! Holy boom

EDIT:  Never mind, I see now that that isn't the explosive power.

When you have a b-52 made by Boeing than you HAVE to accessorize. Last year it was JDAMS and they simply went out of style thanks to using so many in the COD video games. This year it is the new Boeing 30k pounder. It promises complete destruction and has flashy looks. Next year they will add racing stripes which will result in 50 more MPH on the way to the target.  :ahand
