Part 5/9:
The strategic choice of weaponry employed by the B-2 was either the GBU-57 or similar munitions designed for penetrating deeply buried targets. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, weighing 14 tons and capable of penetrating 200 feet of concrete, exemplifies the advanced technology that facilitates such strikes. This weapon is intended to neutralize critical military infrastructure that could otherwise remain out of reach of conventional strikes.
