Most effective missile against bunkers in Indo-Pak inventory?

Most effective missile against bunkers in Indo-Pak inventory?

The AS-30L is a French short-to-medium range air-to-ground missile which employs laser homing guidance.

 The AS-30L was a development of the earlier 1970s AS-30 missile, which uses MCLOS guidance via a radio command link between the aircraft and the missile.
 The only difference between the AS-30 and AS-30L is their guidance systems.

 In appearance, the earlier AS-30 has a sharp nose and the AS-30L has a slightly blunted nose. The AS-30L is employed for attacking targets which require a high degree of precision to engage effectively, but are also potentially dangerous enough to necessitate a longer-distance "stand off" attack profile to reduce the danger to the aircraft and pilot to ground-based anti-aircraft defences.

 The missile has a range of 3 to 11 kilometers, carries a 240 kilogram warhead, and claims a 1-meter CEP with either airborne or ground-based laser designators.

Missile is under service in both Pakistan air force(F-16s,Mirage-V) and Indian air force (Mirage-2000,Jaguar).
