Fascinating!
ArmchairW's take on the attack.
>My theory for the evening? I think this was a low-risk, low-impact attack entirely conducted using submarine-launched cruise missiles, and the DoD is simply lying about heavy bomber involvement for propaganda purposes. TLAMs are accurate enough to damage bunker entrances and cause the same kind of disruptive damage that a MOP strike could realistically achieve on a site as incredibly hardened as Fordow. Damage to subterranean facilities at other sites, beyond bunker entrances, is unlikely - TLAMs are not "bunker buster" munitions. There may be a number of aboveground buildings damaged or destroyed, although given a lack of fires observed that also seems somewhat unlikely at this point.
Thoughts?
Things that don't make sense:
JCS claims 14 MOPs were dropped yet we see 6 holes.
7 B-2s took part but they're cagey about how many entered Iranian airspace.
If each B-2 was carrying 2x MOPs, where did the 8 MOPs go????
