Some defense analysts question both the yield of the bomb and whether it could be deployed by a Tupolev Tu-160 bomber. A report by Wired [7] says photos and the video of the event suggest that it is designed to be deployed from the rear of a slow moving cargo plane, and they note that the bomb-test video released by the Russians never shows both the bomb and the bomber in the same camera shot.
Its range was decreased to 3.5 km, and it is claimed [according to whom?] to have three times the explosive power of regular thermobaric variant 125 mm guided missiles. Country of origin: Russia; Projectile weight: 16.5 kg; Muzzle velocity: 284 m/s; Guidance system: Laser beam riding; Range: 0.1 – 3.5 km
The GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is a precision-guided, 30,000-pound (14,000 kg) "bunker buster" bomb used by the United States Air Force. [2] The GBU-57 (Guided Bomb Unit-57) is substantially larger than the deepest-penetrating bunker busters previously available, the 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) GBU-28 and GBU-37.
