WAR UPDATE: Trump Threatens Iran Power Plants, Hegseth Demands Billions More
""the fact is we've only got about half a dozen GBU57s left. Uh, they're not going to penetrate deep enough. These weapons were what we used last year.""
Wikard alleges the US has only a small number of GBU-57 bunker-busting munitions remaining, and argues they are insufficient for the mission set being discussed on US television. He also claims previous strikes did not permanently neutralise targets, and later says the intelligence community has acknowledged rapid Iranian reconstitution of damaged sites, citing reporting he says appeared in the Financial Times.
