It only penetrates the ground about 10 feet? 3 meters. >< That occurred to me, too. Probably at least 30 meters.
And the concussion would do tremendous damage.
They didn't write the correct depth.
The weapon will get deep enough to ensure there will be Ground Coupling. With that they can use a much lower yield to destroy hardened underground facilities.

“...before nuclear armageddon comes for us all.”
I’m not sure, but I doubt that dropping a nuke on Iran somewhere would not start WWIII. Although it might be nice to give the Russians a few minutes notice.

I’d hit it.
After penetrating 3 meters, of course.

I don't see nuclear weapons being practical until you can figure out the fallout issue.

the system has already been already tested on several other delivery platforms It seems that it has already been tested...

Interesting design of that bomb there, but has the “tear drop” aerodynamic shape inverted and lacks a tail control system.

A ground-burst is about the worst thing you can do from a fall-out standpoint. All that material gets chucked up into the atmosphere and eventually blows back on us.

“I don’t see nuclear weapons being practical until you can figure out the fallout issue.”
Do you have any idea how many atomics have been detonated above ground on this planet? The number would probably shock you. What fallout issue? Yes film manufacturers had to adjust their practices and x-ray machine technology has had to evolve. And we all get a bit more cancer. But really. A few bombs here or there have not had much impact. Chernobyl did more than most bombs are projected to do.

huh? That is a perfectly fine teardrop and I can see the pivot points on the fins.
