Well, if they were inside their little holes, even less losses! So even more bombs! And also, these bombs are built to punch through hardened armor, even if they don't go all the way through, they still will go in fairly deep due to their high velocity. The armor as you describe it is built mainly to resist the pressure wave of a nuclear blast, and not the kinetic energy of a 10 ton rocket bomb at Mach 4. So your armor is still cratered/fractured as they detonated inside the armor. But meh, sustained particle beam bombardment will cut a nice hole after a few hours if you can keep out bombs. Pump enough heat and high speed particles, it'll just erode away....
