YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThere were reports earlier this week saying the US was using B-2s to drop GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP) on Houthi targets in Yemen. While that reporting is now in question, we still wanted to take a quick look at what the secretive bomb is capable of.
If you don't know who I am, you were fortunate enough to miss the last short we posted. I'm Kyle, a Marine veteran and the social media editor for the Task & Purpose newsroom for the last four years. You might recognize me from the short videos I do on our other platforms, where some call me the Friendly Ginger Newsman. I don't blink, I mispronounce words, my microphone sucks (for now), and I'll be helping out over here hosting a bit.
Task & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel. We want to foster discussion about the defense industry.
