    Bunker busters only have about 2300kg of payload, the rest of the weight is the penetrator body.

    The bombs are rated at destroying a 20m radius.

    There is some evidence that these penetrators can be guided away from targets by clever architecture. (A reinforced diamond cross-swcrioned concrete beam for instance can guide the penetrator away from its target)

    Long story short we don’t know if these did anything.

    Here is the presentation that talks about it https://youtu.be/TriASB-F5UY
