	JP233 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The JP233 was a British submunition delivery system consisting of a pair of large pods carrying several hundred submunitions designed to attack runways.
		The Panavia Tornado equipped with the JP233 would fly over a target runway, at which point the pods would dispense their payload.
		This is an unusual feature of the JP233, as most other submunition delivery systems essentially function as free-falling bombs rather than remain with their aircraft during operation.

		JP.233 was developed as a means to destroy, and prevent repair, of Warsaw Pact airfields.
		JP.233 was carried by Panavia Tornadoes and was used operationally in the 1991 Gulf War.
		The JP.233 submunitions were later banned under the Ottawa Protocol that bans the use of landmines.

	Coastal Command History - Squadrons
		Over 6,000 sorties were flown in theatre by the RAF between the outbreak of hostilities on 16 January and the cessation on 28 February, of which offensive sorties by Tornado GR1 and Jaguar aircraft totalled over 2,000.
		In the first 24 hours of offensive operations RAF aircraft flew a total of 101 sorties, an intensity of activity which was sustained throughout the early period of the conflict.
		Thanks to their night and all-weather penetration capability - and their unique JP233 airfield denial weapons - the Tornado GR1s were ideally suited to offensive counter attacks against iraqi airfields and were used intensively for that purpose in the early days.

	Attack Results 1991
		Some of the Iraqi air bases were extremely large and the tactic was to cut the taxiway from the shelter so that there was no need to destroy the whole runway.
		JP233 bombs were used and they required the Tornado aircraft to fly over the target area at low level.
		JP233 attacks against the taxiways and runways made sure that the aircraft couldn't take off from the bases.

		But proper delivery of the JP233 required the aircraft to fly low across the Iraqi airfields, allowing antiaircraft artillery and short-range shoulder-fired missiles to take a disastrous toll.
		As a result of the efficiency and responsiveness of Iraqi airfield-repair teams, damage caused by the JP233 submunition was inconsequential.
		Although not stated publicly, the JP233 attacks were probably intended to hinder operations at air bases for at least a day.

		The RAF's role has been to attack airfields and although only one of the aircraft lost was carrying the JP233 runway attack bomb, the indications are that most losses were suffered during missions against air bases.
		In the process, JP233 became one of the U.K.'s most significant conventional weapons programmes and exercised a great influence on the fortunes of several of its largest defence companies — including Hunting Engineering, Royal Ordnance, FR Group, and ML Holdings.
		There is no suggestion that the JP233 bomb — rejected by the USAF in favour of the French-made Durandel cratering bomb — has performed anything other than well.

		Although battle honors were ultimately shared with the closest of her sister squadrons at Laarbruch, four officers from 20 Squadron were singled out for recognition of their achievements, one Distinguished Flying Cross and three Mentioned in Dispatches.

		Ministers accepted in June 1998 that the JP233 fell within the definition of an antipersonnel mine under the terms of the revised Protocol 2 to the CCW and so was “covered by the moratorium that we have announced.”

		the JP233 has now unfairly been removed from service (some cr@p about human rights), the JP233 was an unparaleled weapon and in my opinion Tornados are the only aircraft for the job due to there superior Low flying ablity (It's true face it).
		The JP233 was removed from use because it was considered a pilot-killer.
		Dropping the bomb forced the Torando on a flight profile that is equal to suicide.

		During the war, the Tornado GR1 force flew 1,500 operational sorties divided almost equally between offensive counter air targets such as airfields and air defence sites, and interdiction targets such as bridges.
		Between them, Tornado GR1 and Jaguar GR1As dropped some 100 x JP233 airfield denial weapons, 5,000 x 1,000 pound bombs, 1,000 x LGBs, 100 x ALARM missiles and 700 x Air-to-Ground Rockets onto Iraqi positions.
		A total of six GR1s was lost in action, five of which were involved in low-or medium- level attacks with 1,000 pound bombs and one that was flying a low-level JP233 mission.

		During the opening phase of the assault, airfield attacks are carried out by Panavia Tornados of the Royal Air Force armed with the Hunting JP233 airfield denial weapons and 1,000 pound (454 kilo) bombs.
		A Royal Air Force Tornado was shot down during low altitude toss-bomb attack an Iraqi airfield just after dawn, the crew ejected and were taken prisoner.
		One Tornado was lost when one of its bombs exploded prematurely, the crew ejected and were taken prisoner.

	Panavia Tornado GR1
		Of all the television and press images of the Gulf War, few were as dramatic as the pictures of the first waves of aircraft taking off to attack Iraqi airfields under cover of darkness.
		Yet when this print of a tornado taking off carrying a full warload of JP233 airfield denial weapons was published, such a scenario was unthinkable.
		The events of 1991 are foretold in this powerful portrayal of a Tornado taking off in a blast of steam from a rain drenched runway, with a Jaguar strike/attack aircraft breaking into the circuit background.

		During the 1991 Gulf War, military planners made the elimination of Iraq’s air defenses a top priority.
		At the start of OPERATION DESERT STORM (called OPERATION GRANBY by the British), Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado GR1 aircraft attacked Iraqi air bases at low-level with Hunting JP233 anti-runway weapons and suppressed enemy air defenses.
		Afterward, GR1 aircrews flew medium-level missions using 1,000 lb bombs.

		Ask to check the plugs -- no doubt will remain after that.
		Most likely the sputtering is what jp233 said -- need to be cleaned, jetted correctly and synched.

		Napalm would seem to be a tricky thing, it may be covered by hef, but I would think it would not help to be dug in against it.
		JP233 (british weapon btw) is a double whammy sort of weapon, it consist of a dispensor mounted under the AC (RAF Tornados in modern times) that drops two types of bomblets, one is a rocket propelled cratering charge the other is a anti-personel/material mine to stop the engineers from fixing the airfield quickly.
		Perhaps just run it like a MAK/Mine Drop?
