DEPLETED URANIUM IN BUNKER BOMBS
However, as long as the questions focused on such anti-tank penetrators, they dealt with rounds whose maximum weight was five kilos for a 120mm round. The DU explosive charges in the guided bomb systems used in Afghanistan can weigh as much as
one and a half metric tons (as in Raytheon’s Bunker Buster — GBU-28)
