Superbomb!

A headline like the one above, you don't see every day....All right, so maybe I'm no critic.

And neither is the Pentagon, when it comes to bunker busters. Not when this new one can blast its way ten times deeper than older models.

(Excerpt)

Lockheed Martin hopes the supercavitating bombs will reach 10 times the depth of the current U.S. Air Force record holder, the huge BLU-113 bunker buster that can break through nearly 25 feet (7 meters) of concrete or nearly 100 feet (30 meters) of earth.

Supercavitating bombs. Now, that's high tech. Maybe they should call these things "land torpedoes".

Can subterranean submarines be far behind?
