WASHINGTON, KOMPAS.TV - Ketua Kepala Staf Gabungan Amerika Serikat, Jenderal Dan Caine memperlihatkan bom yang dipakai militer AS untuk menyerang fasilitas nuklir Iran di Fordow beberapa hari lalu.
Jenderal Dan Caine mengatakan bom yang digunakan menyebabkan kerusakan terhadap fasilitas nuklir tersebut.
Hal itu disampaikan Jenderal Dan Caine saat menggelar konferensi pers bersama Menteri Pertahanan AS, Pete Hegseth, pada Kamis (26/6/2025).
"Sebuah bom memiliki tiga efek yang menyebabkan kerusakan, yakni ledakan, fragmen, dan tekanan berlebih. Dalam kasus ini, mekanisme utama penyerangan di area misi adalah kombinasi dari tekanan berlebih dan ledakan yang merobek melalui terowongan terbuka dan menghancurkan perangkat keras penting," ujarnya.

00:00So on Fordow, in June of 2008, you can see these three holes.
00:14Depicted here is the main exhaust shaft with two additional ventilation shafts on either side.
00:20The United States decided to strike these two ventilation shafts, seen here on the main graphic,
00:26as the primary point of entry into the mission space.
00:31In the days preceding the attack against Fordow, the Iranians attempted to cover the shafts with concrete to try to prevent an attack.
00:42I won't share the specific dimensions of the concrete cap, but you should know that we know what the dimensions of those concrete caps were.
00:52The planners had to account for this.
00:55They accounted for everything.
00:56The cap was forcibly removed by the first weapon, and the main shaft was uncovered.
01:04Weapons two, three, four, five were tasked to enter the main shaft, move down into the complex at greater than 1,000 feet per second, and explode in the mission space.
01:20Weapon number six was designed on each side.
01:23So there were six on each side.
01:25Weapons number six was designed as a flex weapon to allow us to cover if one of the preceding jets
01:32or one of the preceding weapons did not work.
01:37The video I'm about to show you is a culmination of over 15 years of development and testing.
01:43As I said, hundreds of test shots on various models, this is one weapon, so if you take a view of this as five additionals, you'll get a sense of what this looks like.
01:58Hopefully you can see it and there's not too much reflection.
02:01Tom runs our videos out there.
02:05We'll run it at full speed so you can see it and then go back through it.
02:09Go ahead, Tom.
02:09Go ahead.
02:37Keep it going for a minute
02:42You'll see inside the mission space
02:45Unlike a normal surface bomb
02:56You won't see an impact crater
02:58Because they're designed to deeply bury
03:00And then function
03:01I know there's been a lot of questions about that
03:04All six weapons at each vent at Fordow
03:09Went exactly where they were intended to go
03:12A bomb has three effects that causes damage
03:16Blast, fragmentation, and overpressure
03:19In this case, the primary kill mechanism
03:22In the mission space was a mix of overpressure and blast
03:26Ripping through the open tunnels and destroying critical hardware
03:29The majority of the damage we assessed based on our extensive modeling
03:34Was a blast layer combined with the impulse extending from the shock
03:39Imagine what this looks like six times over
03:43A point that I want to make here
03:46The joint force does not do BDA
03:49By design, we don't grade our own homework
03:52The intelligence community does
03:54But here's what we know following the attacks and the strikes on Fordow
03:59First, that the weapons were built, tested, and loaded properly
04:04Two, the weapons were released on speed and on parameters
04:09Three, the weapons all guided to their intended targets
