The US military is for the first time putting 250-pound “bunker busting” bombs on attack aircraft recently sent to the Middle East in the latest move to deter Iran, US officials said.
Wall Street Journal reported that the decision to put more powerful weapons on a squadron of A-10 Warthogs was designed to give pilots a greater chance of success in destroying ammunition bunkers and other entrenched targets in Iraq and Syria, where US forces have been repeatedly targeted by Iran-backed fighters.
