French Develop New Penetrator

No, I don't mean Gérard Depardieu.

MBDA has developed a 1000 kg class deep penetrating bomb (paid subscription required) that is expected to be fitted to their Rafale.

The drill like nose on the weapon allows a thin walled casing to be around the explosive, which might increase the total explosive content, and would very likely make it extremely robust.
