    Say, has there ever been a simulation done on how much RHA one of these long bodied bunker busters could penetrate? I know no one builds bunkers out of twenty foot thick steel plates, but I mean as a purely scientific theoretical thing.

    Because they penetrate concrete and earth very well, but the ideal penetrator for those materials is *very* different than the ideal penetrator for steel. Kind of like how arrows can punch through sandbags that stop bullets, but fail against a sheet of steel thin enough to be perforated by those same bullets.

      That shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. You'd really just have to find the conversion formula they use for RHA to Reinforced Concrete that was used for old AP and APHE(add additional letters here) tank rounds or better yet 16" battleship rounds. With that you should be able to get something in the same ballpark as reality

      MOAB isn't a bunker buster in a sense that it won't penetrate anything before exploding but for an actual bunker buster penetration it should be around or more than 5 inches of RHA, if the Mark 8 nuclear bunker buster is a useful example. Anything like a tank would be rocked and disabled just by sheer mass and velocity of those bombs if not outright destroyed regardless but theoretically some fortifications could be built to be armored using thicker steel plates. I am not aware of such fortifications, though, as even nuclear silos use reinforced concrete lids on top.

      Warheads like the BROACH warhead or the one on SDB, JASSM and Tomahawk Block 5a would perform differently and there's no data on how exactly that would be.

    I noticed that they've been getting a lot more accurate and better with terminology, history, and descriptions in recent years. It's no longer 2012 Sandy Hook where they were reporting airshit capacities. Turns out they can read the english language written on the same gun blogs too.

        We should make it just because we can. Maybe string some wire between the (katana) blades. I'm sure DARPA has some bored nerds sitting around.

    You can source yourself?

      Yes, when you are quoting your own works you need to cite them in the same way as offer sources. Writing "source: own research" is more of an informal way that's used more on slides when you cobbled together a graph from three sources and had a thought about how to add the numbers together for example.
