 Such bunkers are designed to resist blast, fire or EMP from
 a near miss by remotely launched large (nuclear) weapons,
 and to filter out chemical weapons if the filtering is on.

 They are not proof against close-up attack e.g. by someone
 who can actually put shaped charges against it to crack through:
 you put ground troops outside to prevent that.

 It probably is of good current design, since strategy no longer
 calls for as many bunkers against massive Soviet nuclear attack.
