I hope they miss the target and it ends up landing on Netanyahu’ s house instead.

Your post makes no sense. Your link describes a very efficient weapon that can destroy a hardened military target without damage to anything just a short distance away.

 

Nothing horrible about it.

Just use the scalar weapons instead and erase the entire mountain down 100 metres below ground level to be sure to be sure....call it 'Trump Lake' afterwards.

 

I think Israel may have a weapon even beyond USA top secret stuff that beats the lot somehow...

If you actually read it, why don't you tell us why it is so terrible?

Sorry, I didn't know you can't read. Maybe I can find an "audible" for you

So, you didn't read it, and you have no idea what it says, that's what I thought.

Are you crazy? Or mad? I just try to find an audible for you. I can't fix all your issues. Sorry

Is that what CNN said that you'd get to "...see the human bloody parts flying through the air..."?

Mate, you're too childish for me. Sorry.

If you like to play games it's ok. Look for a fool. It's not me.

Good bye

Saying goodbye once is enough. Please just go away.

There is an approx.1800 km distance between the targets in Iran and  Jerusalem. 

Why not just be honest and say you want PM Netanyahu dead?    You could dress up in a brown shirt and pants and  goose step around the room when  you chant  Death to (insert name here).

If the munition is that powerful, body parts would be vaporized.  How would body parts fly through the air?

First off, the OP is an idiot that knows nothing about ordnance.

 

The Bomb only has 6,000 pounds of explosives which is not a huge amount. The important thing about the GBU-57 MOB is not the explosives, it it the ability to penetrate 60 meters into the ground before detonating. That is why they call it a "Bunker Buster". 

 

I was in Iraq disposing of about 40-50 thousands pounds of explosives (NEW, not gross weight) every day for a couple of months. We had shallow pits we used for the shots and they only made a crater a couple of meters deep at most. Those shots would have had no effect on a deep military facility.

 

There wouldn't be any body parts flying around from a detonation deep underground. The only casualties would be the ones that are knowingly sitting on a bullseye. There would be ZERO civilian casualties.

Put a small amount of gun powder in your hand you might get a burn, close your hand your fingers get blown off.
