America's 'Bunker-Buster' Bomb Production to Triple as World Fractures Into Dangerous Multi-Polar State

Munitions stockpiles are running low across the West, whether in Europe or the United States. Supplying Ukraine with arms in its war against Russia has forced Western militaries and defense firms to either make plans or begin boosting the production of bombs, missiles, artillery shells, and suicide drones.

On Tuesday (May 14), the US Air Force announced a tripling in its monthly production of the giant 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator, known as the "bunker-buster." It's the largest non-nuclear bomb the US has in its stockpiles and can only be deployed by a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

Bloomberg was among the first to report an increase in bunker-buster bomb production, citing a USAF statement: "Will significantly increase production as needed."

Officials at the facility told Bloomberg journos during a March tour by General Charles Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that new bunker-buster bomb production could rise from currently two, to as many as six or possibly eight bombs per month.

Ukraine isn't the only conflict area draining Western supplies of munitions. The US has been supplying Israel with bombs and missiles as the conflict with Hamas rages on. And there's a further risk of broadening conflict in the region with Iran. Let's not forget China and the South China Sea.
