Boeing will receive a contract worth 123 million USD to replenish the stockpile of bunker busting bombs that the US dropped on Iranian targets this summer, Bloomberg reported, citing its sources.
The contract concerns the production of 14 bombs. The GBU-57 munition used in the strikes weighs over 13.5 tons, is 6 meters long and is capable of hitting underground targets at a depth of 60 meters.
On June 25, US President Donald Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsett, citing US intelligence, expressed confidence that Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, which were struck on the night of June 22, had been effectively wiped off the map.
