MPR-500 bunker buster missile designed and developed by Israeli military industries IMI, is a highly capable missile that can penetrates deep into bunkers and burst them.
During the launch of the MPR-500bunker buster missile, an electro-optical or laser-guided projectile that can penetrate double-reinforced concrete walls or floors without breaking apart, was seen penetrating a thick wall.
