The king of the U.S. military bomb, the maximum depth of 61 meters, how good is the GBU57 giant drilling bomb?

Drilling bomb

When it comes to the big killer in modern warfare, many people will first think of nuclear weapons. After all, the killing range of a nuclear bomb can reach tens of kilometers, but after all, there are many restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons. Therefore 61 meters deep, how good is this GBU57 giant drilling?

B2 throw bomb

In order to prevent the country from being attacked by air, causing a large number of casualties, or that important facilities will be destroyed, many countries will build underground air defense facilities, that is, air -proof caves. In the face of ordinary air strikes, the anti -aircraft cave can indeed protect the people, but if it is GBU57, this is this The giant drilling bomb will completely lose its effect. So how does the drilling bombs be born? Ordinary bombs have exploded when they come into contact with the ground. Why can drilling bomb penetrate deeply?

Drilling bomb

The research and development of the drilling bomb is likely to be related to the anti -runway bomb. After all, the pit exploded by the general air bombs can be repaired by the ground personnel quickly, so that the airport runway will continue to be put into use. After the bomb is deep underground, then detonate, the pit fried at this time will be greater, so that the ground personnel cannot be repaired in a short period of time, thereby preventing the enemy fighter aircraft from taking off and landing. It is not much difficult to develop giant drilling bombs.

The reason why ordinary countries do not equip this giant drilling bomb is actually related to usage. After all, GBU57's light weight reaches 14 tons, which is heavier than fighter jets in many countries. Therefore, the general aircraft cannot be carried, and can only be left to a strategic bomber to throw them. In today's world, only the United States and Russia still have strategic bombers. In addition to the B52 carried by B52, the GBU57 can also be thrown by B2.

Drilling bomb

Since general underground work can no longer defend the ground bomb, how can ordinary countries avoid the blow of this bomb? In fact, the most effective means is to dig deeper bunkers. For example, some countries will choose to use mountains as the target. After all, there are generally strong rocks in the mountains, and the thickness can reach hundreds of meters. GBU57 cannot penetrate. Another example is to use super concrete to pour work. As long as the strength of the concrete is sufficient, this drilling bomb is difficult to take effect.

For large powers, in fact, you don't have to worry about the United States with GBU57 to launch a blow. After all, China and Russia have strong air defense firepower and have anti -stealth ability. Whether it is B2 or B52 with drilling bombs, it cannot effectively break through China and Russia.的防空火力网，而且，美军在使用这种炸弹进行轰炸时，必须精确掌握目标位置地下工事的结构，对于这些绝密情报，只需要在日常工作中做好保密工作，避免机密外泄，那么即It is impossible to accurately hit the core position of underground work in using a drilling bomb.
