After the crash of the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner ship in Ahmedabad, the safety of the aircraft of the Boeing company has raised serious questions. Even before June 12, the Boeing aircraft has fallen victim to major accidents. Now another product of Boeing Company which has caught the attention of the world is Boeing Bomb. & Nbsp;
According to the report of The Economics Times, a Boeing bomb was built for the US Air Force nearly two decades ago. The Boeing bomb is being discussed in the Israeli-Iran war because it may be used to blow up Iran’s atomic sites. In the fight against Iran, US President Donald Trump is openly supporting Israel, due to which there is talk of using Boeing in this war.
Israel says that Israel has carried out this attack to prevent Iran from making nuclear weapons. Especially attacks were carried out in areas that are seen as a large nuclear plant in Iran, such as Natanj and Isfahan and the next target Fordo. Israel knows that if Iran is to be prevented from making nuclear weapons, then the Fordo Fuel Enrichant Plant built at a depth of about 300 feet from the mountain near the city of Kaum, 125 km from Tehran, will have to destroy.
Attacking the Fordo plant is not as easy for Israel. The weapons that Israel needs to destroy the Fordo plant is not present in its scripture, so there is a discussion of the Boeing bomb. The Boeing bomb is included in the list of the most dangerous weapons of the US Air Force. Boeing’s GBU-57 A/B Massive Ordnance Penitrator (MOP) is known as a bunker buster.
In the year 2003, the US decided to buy a powerful bunker buster, which could go deep and destroy the target. The US Defense Threat Reduction Agency started it and Boeing was given its designing and manufacturing contract.
How much is the strength of the Boeing bomb?
GBU-57 A/B works on the state-of-the-art bunker bunker busting technology of America. Its weight is 30,000 pounds i.e. 13,600 kg and length is 20.5 feet, which can destroy underground locations even by going below the earth. Its weight is so high that it can be fitted only in bombers like B-2 spirit of America.
The strength of the Boeing bomb can be gauged from the fact that it can penetrate a rock up to 130 feet, while the concrete surface has the ability to penetrate up to 200 feet. The GPS installed in it helps to reach the target.
