Interesting bomb from an su34, it seems to have a delayed fuse or maybe is borrowing into the ground before exploding

It's a bunker busting bomb....it goes through reinforced structures, then explodes deep inside the structure.

from wiki : BETAB-500 Concrete-Piercing Bomb , 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) bomb designed to penetrate and destroy reinforced concrete structures and to damage runways.

I think it works well for runway damage since it can penetrate the surface and explode beneath to maximaze damage. Since it is a freefall bomb that doesnt have any guidance and requires to fly low i see limited use for bunker structures in areas with active air defense.

We've all watched the Hollywood version of the decade long Vietnam misadventure that killed 58,000 US soldiers. However Hamburger Hill,Platoon,Full Metal Jacket etc,etc never mention the millions of civilian Viets,Laotians,Cambodians who died til the end of US involvement in 1975. The estimates are horrifying!

Estimates for the number of North Vietnamese civilian deaths resulting from US bombing range from 30,000–65,000.[26][3] Higher estimates place the number of civilian deaths caused by American bombing of North Vietnam in Operation Rolling Thunder at 182,000.[27] American bombing in Cambodia is estimated to have killed between 30,000 and 150,000 civilians and combatants.[25][28]

This isn't friendly fire or collateral damage from arty or air strikes,btw. The great secret is finally being whispered. By 1969 even the elite units,like the aircav and airborne were in revolt! Rank and file in all ground units would tell their section,platoon and coy commanders what they were willing to do-if they didn't go along they were killed.

But after Tet, there was a massive shift from combat avoidance to mutiny. One Pentagon official reflected that “mutiny became so common that the army was forced to disguise its frequency by talking instead of ‘combat refusal.’” Combat refusal, one commentator observed, “resembled a strike and occurred when GIs refused, disobeyed, or negotiated an order into combat.”41

Acts of mutiny took place on a scale previously only encountered in revolutions. The first mutinies in 1968 were unit and platoon-level rejections of the order to fight. The army recorded 68 such mutinies that year. By 1970, in the 1st Air Cavalry Division alone, there were 35 acts of combat refusal.42 One military study concluded that combat refusal was “unlike mutinous outbreaks of the past, which were usually sporadic, short-lived events. The progressive unwillingness of American soldiers to fight to the point of open disobedience took place over a four-year period between 1968-71.”43

In fact after the Hamburger Hill slaughter an open contract was put out on Col.Honeycutt,their commander. Throughout Vietnam US forces the military had broken down as a fighting force.

For every defiance in combat, there were hundreds of minor acts of insubordination in rear base camps. As one infantry officer reported, “You can’t give orders and expect them to be obeyed.”51 This democratic upsurge from below was so extensive that discipline was replaced by a new command technique called ”working it out.” Working it out was a form of collective bargaining in which negotiations went on between officers and men to determine orders. Working it out destroyed the authority of the officer corps and gutted the ability of the army to carry out search-and-destroy missions. But the army had no alternative strategy for a guerrilla war against a national liberation movement.52

As a result murder of officers rose exponentially.

No one knows how many officers were fragged, but after Tet it became epidemic. At least 800 to 1,000 fragging attempts using explosive devices were made. The army reported 126 fraggings in 1969, 271 in 1970 and 333 in 1971, when they stopped keeping count. But in that year, just in the Americal Division (of My Lai fame), one fragging per week took place. Some military estimates are that fraggings occurred at five times the official rate, while officers of the Judge Advocate General Corps believed that only 10 percent of fraggings were reported. These figures do not include officers who were shot in the back by their men and listed as wounded or killed in action.58

In fact:It suggests that 20 to 25 percent–if not more–of all officers killed during the war were killed by enlisted men, not the “enemy.” This figure has no precedent in the history of war.60

Soldiers put bounties on officers targeted for fragging. The money, usually between $100 and $1,000, was collected by subscription from among the enlisted men. It was a reward for the soldier who executed the collective decision. The highest bounty for an officer was $10,000, publicly offered by GI Says, a mimeographed bulletin put out in the 101st Airborne Division, for Col. W. Honeycutt, who had ordered the May 1969 attack on Hill 937. [/b]The hill had no strategic significance and was immediately abandoned when the battle ended. It became enshrined in GI folklore as Hamburger Hill, because of the 56 men killed and 420 wounded taking it. Despite several fragging attempts, Honeycutt escaped uninjured.61
