#1 Clearly they're using hollowpoints.

#2 when they hit the ground, the thrusters keep firing while various gyros keep the point going down

I think those are the most important principles

of course actually building stuff that executes those principles has been a struggle

#5 I'm thinking you need a 'chain' of shaped charges for ground penetration. Spacing would be specific to type of ground. First charge detonates; before the rubble can all fall back into the hole the second charge passes through the blast front (in principle the first charge would be shaped so as to create a transient 'hole' for the second to pass through) and detonates, pushing the rubble further out and deepening the penetration. Repeat.

#6 Well... considering when Gulf War 1 started we didn't have anything that could destroy Saddam's underground bunkers, and by the end of the air war we had developed a bomb that would penetrate over 150 feet of sand, then 20 feet of reinforced concrete and we used them to destroy several C&C bunkers, I'm not toooo worried.

#7 Time its time to "weaponize" fracking + other Geo-Techs - you know they want to.

* FYI BLOOMBERG > SAUDI ARABIA'S PLAN TO EXTEND THE AGE OF OIL.

Lest we fergit, the greatest single threat from our mighty future OWG-NWO = Govts-Perts consensus on GWCC = Solar Changes, Activities is that there is no consensus.

The World could be running out of Oil + other strategic resources/commodities as we speak, to include US-based Shale Oil, etc. + we as ordinary Amerikans are not going to know about it because the priority of saidsame Govts-Perts + future OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order Politicos is PCORRECTNESS = "SAFE" RE-ELECTION POLITICS + NEUTRALISM, NOT TRUTH.

Not unlike Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama + OWG Globies, as per how much or how far Soon-to-be-Ex-Sole-Superpower, future-OWG-Co-Superpower-among-Many NAU Amerika is supposed to unilaterally give up or self-retreat, iff the Saudis + US, International Community are not careful, all they will achieve is empowering post-2050-2070 Global Energy collapse??

* FREEREPUBLIC > [WUWT] CLAIM: ALL ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC ICE WILL MELT IN NEXT DECADE.

Lest we fergit II, "MINI-ICE AGE" > AFAIC refers to future intensified Solar heating of Earth as interrupted by interim or periodic cold or icy weather, i.e. what I like to call the "GREAT/
MIGHTY ASIA-PACIFIC SLUSHY" [Netters = "Slurpee"].
