#1 "But Israeli and American experts agree that the bunker busting bombs which were left off the list are the ~~only ones~~ only conventional ones which have a chance of striking underground sites such as Fordo."

#2 Regardless, at this point the IAF does not currently posses jets capable of carrying the bombs. In order to transport bunker busting bombs, they would need to use B-2 Bombers,

I guess that might be a reason for no big 'uns too.
The Osprey buy is interesting, how many did they purchase?
