Next Generation Penetrator: US orders the Mega-bomb successor

The United States Air Force has ordered a batch of cutting-edge new bunker buster bombs, Defense News reported this week, reaching for the successor technology to huge ordnance which pounded Iranian nuclear sites in June.

The new Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) contract has been awarded to Applied Research Associates (ARA) for a two-year prototype design, according to the outlet.

Boeing, which originally developed the MOP, will team up with ARA for the design and full integration of new features, it added in an article on Monday.

The bombs the United States used against Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan in a surprise attack on June 22 were GBU-57 MOPs.

The US must keep ahead , of all her enemies, including China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran. There are way too many fanatics in this world, that hate American and Israeli’s progress, and ways of life.

It’s better to have it and not need it, rather than need it but not have it.

Unfortunately, weapons of this type will be needed more and more.
