You would need a nuke on a PGM to bust soviet era bunkers. speak easy Apr 2022 #5
the KAB-500L was used in Syria, a bunker buster that's laser guided. WarGamer Apr 2022 #6
Agreed. But a 500kg bomb won't bust a bunker 50m below ground. speak easy Apr 2022 #8

In myriad ways, Putin is showing the world what a coward he is.

keep sending Ukraine weapons.

I heard the reason why the US and others were slow in sending weapons to Ukraine, and it makes sense. Everyone thought that Russia would take over Kyiv in 3 days so why send arms and weapons that would just fall into Russian hands. Different story now.

Earlier in the week the Russians spoke of using PGM including bunker-busters to target C&C in Kyiv.

Add in the embarrassing sinking of the Moskva... I think they're taking a "kill shot" at Zelenskyy.

A conventional weapon from a bomber could do the job, but not on a PGM.
