The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is the largest non-nuclear bomb in the arsenal of the United States. Developed by Boeing, the bomb is GPS-guided and specifically designed to destroy deeply buried and reinforced enemy bunkers. With a weight of nearly 30,000 pounds and the capability to penetrate over 200 feet of reinforced concrete, the MOP is a strategic weapon in the U.S. military’s inventory. Its size, power, and engineering make it a unique asset for missions requiring the destruction of fortified underground facilities without the use of nuclear force.
