Let me introduce you to the Disney Bomb… circa 1943:

[it] was fitted with solid-fuel rockets to accelerate its descent, giving it an impact speed of 990 mph (1,590 km/h)—substantially beyond the 750 mph (1,210 km/h) free-fall impact velocity of the 5-tonne Tallboy "earthquake" bomb for comparable purposes.

The Disney could penetrate 16 ft (4.9 m) of solid concrete before detonating.
