Complete with the ammo locker and the camel stables?

Some days it's a Tom Clancy novel. Some days it's a James Bond movie.

In considering an assault on a fortress such as the one depicted, rather looking how to kill it may be more rewarding to look at how to live. Two essentials to living are air and water. It is apparent from the diagram that this cave system has multiple air vents and has water steams flowing into the cave or caves. The temperatures within the caves will be be substantially higher than the ambient temperatures outdoors as the winter weather hits in full force. The higher humidity of the air being vented to the outside should provide visible water vapor plumes which could be targeted by bunker busters. After disabling the air vents then the water streams can be diverted to deprive the cavemen of their necessary water and to deprive them of their electric power which would make it even more difficult to restore proper ventilation. Denied the essentials of living organisms it only becomes a matter of time. I would hope the entrances to the caves which would allow escape to Pakistan would be sealed or tightly guarded.

Reminds me of some of those "artists conceptions" of the Maginot Line published in the 1930's.... pretty picture, but when photos were actually taken they looked quite different.

I would think that IR scopes could detect heat escaping from the air vents. I think up near Tora Bora there is a hydro-electric dam that could be taken out.

Looks like roughly 6 stories...6 rounds of bunker busters, one layer at a time...saving the arsenal toward the finale...could make Mt. St. Helens look like a minor cough.

I love these things - must be they dont have a kitchen or a johnny - just pass the communal dinner pot and we'll send it back around when dinners done-

I would think it a challenge for our guys to smoke this turd out.

I wonder if the ventilation is good enough to handle all the smoke if those munitions @ level 2 go off?

This is a heck of a lot of work for a tomb.

Sure. See the chain-saw locker in the lower left?
