Summary
| Description |
English: Mk. 81 250-lb and Mk. 82/Snakeye I 500-lb. GP Bombs: The Mk. 81 250-lb., Mk. 84 500-lb. General Purpose (GP) Bombs were designed as a new series of low-drag bombs. The explosive was either TNT (1 yellow noseband), Amatol (2 yellow nosebands), or Tritonal (3 yellow nosebands). These bombs were used extensively throughout the Vietnam War and were carried on most attack, bomber and fighter aircraft of the day. The difference between the standard free fall MK. 82 and the MK. 82/Snakeye is the Mk. 15 Tail Retarding Device. This device was used in low-level ground attacks and slowed the descent of the bomb so that the attacking aircraft could clear the blast area.
Deutsch: Mk.81 250 Pfund und Mk.82 "Snakeye" 500 Pfund Mehrzweck Freifallbomben: Sie wurden als eine neue Reihe von stromlinienförmiger Bomben ausgelegt. Die Explosivladung war entweder TNT (1 gelber Ring), Amatol (2 gelbe Ringe) oder Tritonal (3 gelbe Ringe). Diese Bomben wurden ausgiebig im Vietnam-Krieg eingesetzt und waren bei den meisten Bombern und Jagdflugzeugen seiner Zeit im Einsatz. Der Unterschied zwischen der Standard-MK Freifall 82 und der MK. 82 Snakeeye sind die Mk 15 Luftbremsflächen. Dieses Gerät wurde bei Tieffliegerangriffen eingesetzt und verlangsamte den Fall der Bombe, sodass die angreifenden Flugzeuge den Explosionsbereich verlassen konnten. |
