To give a better idea of how state-of-the-art and devastating the Assault Breaker is, the Assault Breaker program eventually produced the CBU-97 SFW bomb.

It's probably the most devastating antiarmor weapon ever devised. You drop a CBU-97 over an armored brigade, and it pretty much ceases to exist.
This is OT for this thread, but this is one of those weapon programs that would make the Soviets say, "Oh shit! We better invade now before they come up with something worse!"
