bunker buster
Deep-target ordnance
A bunker buster is a bomb designed to penetrate reinforced underground structures before detonating.
These weapons use heavy casings and delayed fuses to burrow through concrete, rock, or earth before exploding inside hardened targets like military bunkers or command centers: The airstrikes included bunker busters targeting underground facilities.
