20 feet?

Lee — 4/15/2006 4:49:50 AM (archived)

We've got conventional penetrators that can slice through many meters of reinforced concrete. The animation was created as a propaganda tool by people opposed to nuclear weapons. If you think a nuclear bunker buster would only be capable of going 20 feet into the ground, then you sir are the "effing idiot".
