Get the earthquake bomb. Anyone can make one. In WWII the Brits took the biggest plane they had (The Landcaster) and fitted it with the biggest bomb it could carry. There are lots of photos of it. I think it weighed 20,000 pounds. It had a steel casing and a time delay fuse so it went deep in the ground and let off powerful shock waves. It dropped not on but near bunkers and the shock wave ruined them. It might also set off every land mine in a large radius.
