but they have timed fuses so they could all have penetrated to depth and then exploded at the same time, which would have much more effect on underground structures

- About 75 precision guided weapons were used, including 14 bunker-busting GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs as well as submarine-launched TLAM cruise missiles

- More than 125 US aircraft were involved, including B-2 bombers, 4th and 5th generation fighter jets, dozens of refuelling tankers and surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft

- The mission began when a strike package of B-2 bombers flew from the continental United States on an 18 hours flight to Iran, conducting multiple mid-air refuelling en route. Each of the aircraft had two crews

- At 5pm eastern standard time on Friday (0030 Iranian time Saturday), just before the US aircraft entered Iranian airspace, a US submarine launched more than two dozen TLAM cruise missiles towards key surface targets at the Isfahan nuclear site

- As the B-2 bombers entered Iranian airspace, 4th and 5th generation fighter jets flew ahead at high altitude and high speed and opened fire to protect the bombers from any potential Iranian attack. There does not appear to have been any

- At approximately 2:10am Iranian time on Saturday (6:40pm eastern standard time Friday), the first two 30,000lb Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker busting bombs were dropped on the Fordow nuclear site. In total 14 of these bombs were used against two sites. (New York Times has reported that 12 bombs were dropped on Fordow and two on the Natanz nuclear site)

- The bombing mission began at 2:10am local time (6:40pm eastern standard time on Friday evening) and was finished by 2:35am local time (7:05pm US time). The TLAM cruise missiles were the last to strike their targets at Isfahan "to ensure we retain the element of surprise throughout the operation"

- The US is unaware of any shots being fired by Iran against its aircraft during the strikes or as they left Iranian airspace. "Iran's fighters did not fly. And it appears that Iranian surface air defence missiles systems did not see us."

- The US deployed decoys and deception techniques as part of the operation

- Battle damage assessment is ongoing. General Caine said a full assessment will take some time. An initial assessment is that all three targeted sites (Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan) suffered "extremely severe damage and destruction"

Also why all the the other munitions. Do these things work or not

I remember for the Bin Laden raid they estimate it would take like 36 1,000lb bombs to destroy the house so they opted for the raid to avoid civilian casualties
