314 million dollars is the development cost and the 20 bombs.  Pretty damn cheap for a program involving the federal government.

I'd rather have those then have to nuke a site to be able to hit the underground targets.  Think of the civilian casualties then.

Or to be more modest, this one:

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

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.

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

This is just an off shoot of the MOAB, but where the MOAB burst above ground they made this one to be a penetrating bomb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuGrDSP0rj8

     I believe they are actually accessorizing the B-2.  I remember reading somewhere that the 30K ground
penetrator is the largest weapon that can fit in it's bombbay.

they will always find excuses to drop bombs anywhere. don't worry, they will tell you its needed and call some random fellow a terrorist. They buy bombs, they have to use it. just how they think.

Suuuuuure  :rolleyes:

How about: They buy bombs, so they can use them. As opposed to not buying bombs, so they can't use them.

It's an American way of thinking that a majority of the rest of the world just can't comprehend; that arming yourself doesn't necessarily mean you want to destroy everything in sight.

I think you both are right, will fit inside the B-52 or B-2.  I can't imagine they'll use the B-52 a lot if they have access to the B-2.
