> you have to realize that capabilities that are reported are probably pretty conservative vs what the bomb is actually capable of doing

Why do you believe that to be true?

Because it’s always the case with the US military equipment capabilities that full capability is never disclosed. What possible reason would the military have in divulging actual specs?

Military: We can penetrate up to 200 feet with this new bunker buster bomb that we spent a billion dollars on…specifically for this site and some sites in North Korea.

Enemy: Build the bunker at 300 feet, I hear their best bunker buster is only effective to 200 feet.

Military: Damn, foiled again!
