U.S Military Is About To Do SOMETHING HUGE to Iran's Pickaxe Mountain

About this video

Max analyzes Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility using satellite imagery and his fighter pilot expertise. He explains how the U.S. could strike the deeply-buried site by targeting vulnerable surface infrastructure—ventilation shafts, tunnel entrances, and power systems—rather than attempting to destroy the entire mountain. Max walks through weapons options including 5,000-lb bunker busters delivered by F-15E Strike Eagles versus 30,000-lb penetrators from B-2 bombers.

Key takeaways

• When attacking hardened underground targets, identify and strike the most vulnerable surface points (ventilation, access tunnels, power) rather than trying to destroy the entire structure
• Intelligence gathering focuses on operational signatures—changes in vehicle traffic, personnel patterns, and infrastructure activity—to determine when a facility transitions from construction to operation
• Different mission profiles require different weapons: multiple precision strikes with smaller bunker busters can be as effective as a single massive bomb, depending on target vulnerabilities and intelligence
