美国正在为伊朗深层地下核场地获取新的MOP炸弹,但其有效性仍不确定。
The U.S. is acquiring new MOP bombs for Iran’s deep underground nuclear site, but their effectiveness remains uncertain.
美国在未经竞标的情况下订购了3万磅重的MOP掩体炸弹,使人们担心这些炸弹是否有能力摧毁伊朗在纳坦兹附近被深埋的Pickaxe山核站,该核站比2025年预定的Fordow设施更加坚固。
The U.S. has ordered new 30,000-pound MOP bunker buster bombs without competitive bidding, raising concerns about their ability to destroy Iran’s deeply buried Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site near Natanz, which is more fortified than the Fordow facility targeted in 2025.
虽然MOP60米的穿透深度在Fordow被证明是有效的,它摧毁了通风井,但对于更深或更厚的地下场地,其效力仍然不确定。
Though the MOP’s 60-meter penetration depth proved effective at Fordow by destroying ventilation shafts, its efficacy against deeper or thicker underground sites remains uncertain.
新炸弹的投放要到2028年才能进行, 这表明现有库存足以立即使用。
Delivery of the new bombs won’t occur until 2028, suggesting current stockpiles are sufficient for immediate use.
专家警告伊朗可能加固了隧道,并建议使用热压炸弹等替代方案。
Experts warn Iran may have reinforced tunnels and recommend alternatives like thermobaric bombs.
成功将取决于情报、精确度和利用结构性弱点。
