The test blast is 593 tons, conventional. The largest conventional bomb in our arsenal is 10.5 tons. Officials said the test, code-named Divine Strake, is part of research to "determine the potential for future non-nuclear concepts" -- such as high-energy weapons or the simultaneous use of multiple conventional bombs to destroy deeply buried and fortified military targets. washingtonpost.com Hmmmm...lets see that would be 593/10.5 = 57 simultaneous conventional super bombs. Boy that would be a tight formation of B1 bombers to deliver those pay loads...and the flight paths could get a little complicated at the target...and heck nobody would notice a fleet of bombers appraoching...would they?
