Named for a mythical medieval French sword the Durandal is a anti-runway penetration bomb developed by the French company Matra (now MBDA) designed to destroy airport and airfield runways and exported to a number of countries worldwide. As a simple crater in a runway could be just filled in the Durandal deliberately utilizes two explosions in order to displace the concrete slabs of a runway damage that is far harder to repair.
