The NEB-2 appears to fit the same form factor as a BLU-109 but appears to have a shroud/different nose construction (red area) than a BLU-109, which is constructed of a one solid metal piece.

The NEB-1 is using the same overall weight class (2,000 lbs) and would be limited to the same restrictions of weight/dimensions as the BLU-116 when it comes to penetration capability.

The public figure for penetration ability of the BLU-116 is lower than the claimed figure for the Turkish NEB-1, but DoD public figures are generally worse than actual capabilities. (3.6 m vs 7m) It's unlikely that the NEB-1 is twice as effective as the BLU-116.

This video of a penetration test shows the NEB-1 impacting the concrete. It loses it's outer shroud on impact, with only the smaller diameter penetrator bomb exiting the concrete slab. The dimensions, and construction appear very similar to the BLU-116. x.com/clashreport/...
