How would you know which tunnels to nuke?

Even if the Pentagon were to develop nuclear "bunker-busters" --
relatively small bombs that penetrate the surface before exploding --
the United States would be hard-pressed to use them successfully
without knowing which of the thousands of bunkers scattered throughout
the country were the correct targets.

Consider that the deep buried tunnels would be used only for high-value
items like special weapons,and command/control. Not for ordianry military
material.

"thousands of bunkers"??
Not the hard-to-make very deep,in-hard-rock sort,for that quantity.
And high-value targets have a way of revealing themselves by activity and
types of vehicles visiting them.

I'd note also that the global security guy(John Pike) is anti-nuke along
with anti-missile defense.(bias)
