AiTellyWhat exactly is inside Pickaxe Mountain that makes the US military want to drop Multiple 30,000-pound weapons on it?
For starters, it is incredibly deep—plunging into the earth the equivalent of a skyscraper.
But that’s not all.
This underground bunker also has nature on its side.
It is built underneath dense layers of solid rock that act as a massive protective shield.
The tunnels are also staggered in such a way that if a Bunker Buster destroys one level, the others will survive.
But will the bomb actually manage to penetrate these multiple levels of tunnels?
Well, if you compare the maximum penetration power of the M O P to the sheer depth of Pick axe Mountain, it falls short.
So, how do you solve this problem?
The US would need to send a specialized joint team of Special Forces in helicopters and Army scientists to navigate the maze of tunnels, locate the enrichment pockets, plant explosives, and blow out the rooms containing the highly enriched uranium.
