TOLUN-P bunker buster
Tolun P is not a simple bunker buster bomb. In fact as bunker busting goes it is not as capable as its bigger brothers like KGK kitted (not sure if they have already done the NEB versions. But there was intention and program to do it) MK83 and MK84 class munitions.

Most bunkers are many metres underground and are built with very thick reinforced concrete. You would need our NEB and Hayalet bombs to penetrate them.

If you noticed, the test involved going through 2metres of earth and then half a metre of concrete before exploding.
This is a munition specifically designed to cheaply destroy tunnels underground.
Of course it can be used to surgically destroy jet fighter hangars and strategic concrete built military buildings too.

It would probably do great against frontline bunkers/fortifications like those in Ukraine as well, I think.

Combination of Tolun P and Tolun F would be better, imo. Send the penetrators first to deal with the fortifications, then fragmentation to clean up those out in the open.
If there are any left to clean up bro!
If you notice this test was done with the test platform‘s bottom parts’ sides open. And how devastating that was. In real life, inside concrete tunnels or totally enclosed spaces, the explosive force is going to be more destructive.
An explosion in a restricted or confined space produces exponentially higher peak pressures, severe shockwave reflections, and a drastically higher mortality rate than the same blast in an open space, due to trapped energy and structural confinement.

In Open Space Explosion :
The power of destruction Dissipates. Energy, heat, and gas expand freely in all directions, dropping rapidly in intensity over distance.
There is only a single Blast Wave. A single primary overpressure wave moves outward, decaying quickly away from the epicenter.
Decrease of Thermal Effects is more prominent. Heat radiates outward into the available atmosphere; secondary fires only occur if flammable materials are nearby.
Shrapnel and the initial direct blast wave cause the primary damage.

In Restricted or Confined Space Explosions:
There is vast Wave Reflections. Shockwaves hit walls, floors, and ceilings, bouncing back and compounding on themselves to create massive cumulative overpressure.
Additive destructive pressure also called Quasi-Static Pressurre traps gases that cannot escape instantly, causing a sustained, high-pressure gas fill that can completely compromise building integrity.
During explosion, Oxygen Depletion & Toxic Gasses cause Rapid consumption of oxygen and incomplete combustion generate lethal carbon monoxide and toxic fumes that fill the entire enclosure.
Due to exponential increase of explosive force in a confined space Enhanced Lethality occurs. Higher incidence of severe primary blast injuries (such as lung damage and ruptured eardrums) due to energy being forced rather than dissipated.
There are also Secondary Missiles. Walls, fixtures, and structural elements fragment into high-speed shrapnel inside the room, adding to the destruction and lethality.
