+Typhoid Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 http://www.thecuttingedgenews.com/index.php?article=11609&pageid=&pagename= that is one really big @$$ bomb!! I wonder how soon before we can we see this mod in the sim? Quote
FastCargo Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Well, it's actually smaller than the MOAB (GBU-43) by about 10 feet, but weighs 5 tons MORE! Also, the MOAB has 18700 pounds of explosive, but this new weapon only has roughly 6000 lbs. This thing must be damn near all steel and lead! A very specific weapon...not much boom, but a whole lot of drillin! Plus, being shorter, allows it to fit in the bay where a AGM-86 cruise missile sits now. FC Quote
Hokum Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Ahh so that is what a modern version of the Grandslam would look like... Quote
ezlead Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Steel ,lead and probably depleted uranium. If it gets down to where it's supposed to go,you probably don't need that much high explosive to get the job done. Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Oooh, can we say "Tactical Value"? In that aspect, it's worth it's weight in gold... Anybody timing how long it will take for somebody to model it in a TW sim? Quote
Nesher Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 indeed that's a huge one... but for a good purpose Quote

Lexx_Luthor Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Massive Ordnance Penetrator... Ffff... I thought it was the name for a sextoy ! When I first heard this Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, I knew they in the Bush administration were watching LEXX on the SciFi 24hr Stargate Channel late night. They had to. Quote
JediMaster Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 You mean Syfy aka "Low Budget TV Movie of the Week" Channel. I have one word for you: Sharktopus. Quote
MigBuster Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Ahh so that is what a modern version of the Grandslam would look like... Yes Interesting - the damage 617sq did with Tallboys and Grandslams was shocking the way they just went through layers of concrete in those U Boat pens and rocket sites! Quote
