  I mean they usually only do about 30 damage anyways.

    So Iran knew EXACTLY how strong they needed to make their defenses!
    Pretty stupid of the American military to give that info to a game developer, that would obviously use it.

    I love how unhinged random fan wikis sound without context. Here for instance: Bunker Buster, see also: Concrete Donkey and Buffalo of Lies

      I hadn’t clicked the link yet, but Concrete Donkey told me what it was immediately

    But the information still seems valid.

      It’s confirming your bias so you like it…

  My guess: that bunker buster attack was twice as successful as the missile attack on the the airfield in Qatar.

  2 x 0 = 0.

  Now accepting bets on when we will find out that Trump had a secret call with Ali Khamenei where they negotiated the whole thing ahead of time, thus explaining the movement of the Uranium out of the facility, the movement of our servicemen out of the airbase, etc. etc.

  Why? The kinds of UHPC being discussed in the article weren’t available even in the United States until the year 2000 but most of Iran’s nuclear facilities were built between 1974 and 2005. Even their primary enrichment facility in Fordow, which was struck with MOPs, was started no earlier than the mid-2000s as it was still unfinished in 2009.

  Basically the majority of Iran’s facilities, even their major ones, are too old to have the kind of concrete being discussed in the article.

  That’s what they want you to think, but we have no evidence to either direction. And I doubt we will ever have a definitive answer.
