"Even an armored vehicle or bus could not withstand such a huge bomb," he told Israeli Army Radio.
The wing commander of an F-16I fighter-bomber group said on Monday that the Israeli air force is training its crews for long-range bombing missions.
"Israel and the air force have understood for a fairly long time now that the threats that surround us are constantly growing and that's why steps have been taken to extend our range of action," the officer, identified only as Wing Commander D., told Israel's privately run second television channel.
"That is to say that we are training for medium and long-range missions," he said.
The television highlighted that the commander was referring to possible future missions against suspected nuclear facilities in Iran by showing footage of the new atomic power station that Iran is completing with Russian assistance.
