At this time, there is a war-like situation all over the world, somewhere between Russia and Ukraine, somewhere between Israel and Hamas, in which attacks are taking place with different types of weapons every day. To avoid these attacks, big bunkers are being built in different countries, in which America is also not behind.
America's ballast bunker found in the desert
All countries from China, North Korea to Iran are building military facilities to protect themselves from air attacks. Along with this, America is also making bunker blast bombs to attack these bunkers.
Actually, a few months ago, an American-made bomb was seen in the Mojave Desert. Photo of a US Air Force Boeing B1 bomber refueling from a US Air Force KC-135 tanker. In this photo, a large bomb was also present under the B1 bomber.
GBU-72 is 2270 kg
Aviation expert David Cenciotti was the first to see this image. Seeing this, he first thought that this bomb could be GBU-31, which is a 900 kg satellite-guided bomb, but when he looked at the image closely, he realized that it was not GBU-31 but a new bomb, which has rarely been seen. It is GBU-72, which weighs about 2270 kg.
He said that this is a bomb that is enough to destroy any bunker. It has been designed in such a way that it can mark the soil rocks before destroying any bunker.
America's deadliest bomb
GBU-71 is one of the special bombs of America. It is a satellite guided bunker-buster with high-tech fuse and solid cover. The smaller the size, the more destruction it can cause. Apart from this, there is also GBU-28 and 12250 kg GBU-57. In which GBU-28 is very small in size. Boeing F-15E fighter aircraft can be carried anywhere, although it can target only up to a depth of 200 meters. While GBU-57 is also capable of hitting the target up to 200 meters away, but it is so big that only big aircraft of the Air Force can carry it.
What is its speciality?
The US Air Force says it cannot be said how deep the GBU-72 will go before exploding, but it is certain that the GBU-72 will be more lethal and dangerous than older explosives like the GBU-28. According to a report, the GBU-72 may not be as powerful as the powerful GBU-57, but it will be carried in select aircraft of the US Air Force.
