On June 22, the US dropped bombs (GBU-57/A Massive Ordnance Penette) bombs from its B-2 bomber aircraft at Iran’s Fordo nuclear plant. This major nuclear plant of Iran was greatly damaged in this air strike. In fact, Iran built the Fordo Nuclear Plant 100 meters below the ground between the mountains, which cannot be damaged by the normal explosion. That is why the US decided to drop the bunker-bomb bomb on this nuclear plant. These bombs first enter the ground by piercing 60 to 70 meters and then burst. That is, these bombs are used to target the underground facility of the enemy.
India has also accelerated its efforts to develop advanced bunker-bomb bombs. Taking lessons from recent global conflicts, the country is preparing for future wars, for this he is developing a new and powerful missile system, which will be able to penetrate the enemy’s nuclear bases and other strategic infrastructure of the enemy built quite below the ground. The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is developing a modified version of Agni-V Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. The range of the original version of Agni-V is more than 5000 km and this missile usually carries a nuclear warhead. Its modified version will be a traditional weapon that will be able to carry a huge bunker-bombar warhead of 7500 kg.

Designed to attack the enemy’s military and strategic bases built under stronger layers of concrete, this missile will drill 80 to 100 meters before the explosion and enter the ground. India reflects its intention to match the US capabilities behind developing the missile, which recently used the world’s largest traditional bunker-bomb bomb GBU-57/A to attack Iran’s Fordo nuclear plant. The US dropped a total of 14 GBU-57/A at the Iranian nuclear plant. GBU-57 and its predecessor GBU-43 (known as the Mother of All Bomb) have set standards in the field of deep-penitions.
It will cost less to launch Indian bunker-buster bombs
The target of the indigenous version of GBU-57/A being developed by India is of more penetration. To demolish American GBU-57/A bombs, expensive bombers are required. In contrast, India is designing to deliver its bunker-boss bombs from missiles to target. That is, the cost of launching Indian bunker-bombs bombs will be reduced and expensive bombers will not be required for this. This will give India a great strength in the global weapon market. Two new versions of Agni-V are being developed. One will have the facility of Airburst Warhead for the target above the ground, while the other will be deep-penitrating missile designed to enter the rigid underground structure. In the concept, it will be the same bomb like GBU-57, but potentially with more payload.

Indian bunker-buster will be able to carry 8 tonnes of warhead
Both versions of the Agni-V being developed may have the ability to carry about 8 tons weighing about 8 tons, which will make them one of the most powerful traditional weapons globally. The firepower of both new versions will be 2500 kilometers as compared to the original version of Agni-V, but their destructive capacity and accuracy will make them a malignant weapon available in India’s strategic arsenal. Both these weapons will be important to target command and control centers, missile sites and other important military infrastructure of anti -Pakistan and China.
The speed of these missiles is expected to be between Mac 8 to Mac 20 (8 to 20 times more than sound speed), which puts them in the category of hypersonic weapons. These American bunker-buster weapons will be equal to the speed of the system, but their ability to carry payload. India’s effort to develop and deploy such weapons systems, its growing military capabilities and its commitment to becoming self -sufficient in defense technology, reflects its commitment.
