	Mark 84 bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mark 84 is an American general-purpose bomb, the largest of the Mark 80 series of weapons.
		The Mark 84 has a nominal weight of 2,000 lb (908 kg), but its actual weight varies widely depending on its fin, fuse, and retardation configuration, from 1,972 lb (896 kg) to 2,083 (947 kg).
		The Mark 84 bomb serves as the warhead of a variety of precision-guided munitions, including the GBU-10 and GBU-24 Paveway laser-guided bombs, GBU-15 electro-optical bomb, and GBU-31 JDAM.

		A HOBOS weapon based on the Mark 84 slick bomb was 3.78 meters (12 feet 5 inches) long, had a span of 1.12 meters (3 feet 8 inches), and weighed 1.016 tonnes (2,240 pounds).
		Datalink guidance allows the bomb to be released from above an overcast layer, with the bomb falling under command guidance until it penetrates the cloud layer, where it is then locked on to the target.
		The SDB is a penetrating bomb with a weight in the 90 to 112 kilogram (200 to 250 pound) range, and with a length of about two meters (6 feet 6 inches).

	US Bombings and Afghan Civilian Deaths :: Khyber.ORG
		Bombing the Pathans’ irrigation ditches, which cut water supplies and emptied terraces of their topsoil, was deemed more effective than destroying their villages (Lindqvist, 2000: 42).
		The weapon of choice during the first three weeks of the air campaign was the 500lb bomb, which has a lethal blast range of 20 meters; later, the 2,000lb pound became the weapon of choice and it has a lethal blast range of 34 meters.
		A longer, illustrated version of the report, A dossier on civilian victims of United States’ aerial bombing of Afghanistan: a comprehensive accounting, can be found at http://www.cursor.org/stories/civilian_deaths.htm; the data base which formed the empirical basis of the report is available as Appendix 4, at http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mwherold.

	GBU-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was designed for use with F-15E Strike Eagle, F-111F "Aardvark" and F-4 Phantom II aircraft, but the United States Air Force is currently only deploying it from the F-15E.
		The weapon consists of modular components that are attached to either a general purpose Mark 84 bomb or a penetrating-warhead BLU-109 bomb.
		It was a product improvement of the early guided bombs used during the Vietnam War.

		News people seem awe-struck by the accounts of bombs and missiles that not only hit, say, a targeted building, but enter the third window on the second floor and strike the handle of the hot-water faucet on the basin in the washroom.
		To begin, one must distinguish between the precision with which a bomb or missile hits its intended point of impact—often claimed to be only a few meters most of the time—and the area within which lethal damage will be wreaked when the warhead explodes.
		Recalling the hugely exaggerated claims made for precision bombing in past wars, we are entitled to skepticism even with respect to the accuracy claims themselves.

		In nanoseconds, it releases a crushing shock wave and showers jagged, white-hot metal fragments at supersonic speed, shattering concrete, shredding flesh, crushing cells, rupturing lungs, bursting sinus cavities and ripping away limbs in a maelstrom of destruction.
		The Mark-84 JDAM is a 2,000-pound "dumb" or unguided bomb of the type used by U.S. forces for decades.
		What is relatively new, however, is a strap-on kit consisting of an inertial navigation system that guides the bomb toward the target, a satellite receiver and tail fins for small final corrections in the dive toward a point determined by global positioning system satellites.

		In World War II the British designer Barnes Wallis of Bouncing bomb fame, designed two bombs that would nowadays be called bunker busters: the five tonne Tallboy and the ten tonne Grand Slam "Earthquake" bombs.
		In the First Gulf War (1990-1991) there was a need for deep penetration bomb similar to the British weapons of World War II, but none of the NATO air forces had such a weapon.
		The traditional fuse is the same as a classic armor-piercing bomb: a combination of timer and a sturdy dynamic propellor on the rear of the bomb.

		The maelstrom of destruction that erupts when the 2,000-pound Mark 84 JDAM detonates is anything but precise.
		It is a 2,000-pound "dumb" or unguided bomb of the type used by U.S. forces for decades.
		Unlike the Pentagon's new Massive Ordnance Air Burst (MOAB) bomb, which is intended to blast clear wide areas of obstructions or structures, the Mark-84 JDAM bomb is a "pinpoint" weapon designed to kill and destroy smaller targets.

		JDAM is a guided air-to-surface weapon that uses either the 2,000-pound BLU-109/Mark 84 bomb or the 1,000-pound BLU-110/Mark 83 bomb warheads as the payload.
		Growth of the JDAM family of weapons expanded to the 500-pound Mark 82 bomb version, which began development in late 1999.
		Also, the Navy is currently studying the effects of adding enhancements such as improved GPS accuracy, a precision seeker for terminal guidance and additional warheads.

	Military Precision versus Moral Precision: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		To begin, one must distinguish between the precision with which a bomb or missile hits its intended point of impact — often claimed to be only a few meters most of the time — and the area within which lethal damage will be wreaked when the warhead explodes.
		According to some authorities, perhaps 7-10 percent of the smart bombs fall beyond the claimed accuracy radius — some of them miles away — because of mechanical and electrical malfunctions.
		This argument is a curious defense of the bombing — after all, no bombing, no such collateral damage — and the whole world knows that nothing required the President to go to war against Iraq: if ever a war was freely chosen, this war is the one.

		Bomb 'Face' Pattern The 21-year-old college student accused of putting pipe bombs in mailboxes in five states told authorities he was trying to make a "smiley face" pattern on the map, a sheriff said Thursday.
		Pipe Bombs Found in Mail Five pipe bombs were found Saturday in rural Nebraska mailboxes, heightening fears among Midwesterners already on edge after similar bombs injured six people in Iowa and Illinois the day before, authorities said.
		Federal officials had described the earlier bombings as an act of domestic terrorism and said anti-government propaganda and notes warning of more "attention getters" were found nearby.
