Talk:Mark 84 bomb

Filling weight is wrong
The article claims that the Filling weight is 945 lb (429 kg).In fact, a pound is 0.454 kilo. The filling weight is wrong.Agre22 (talk) 22:55, 25 March 2009 (UTC)agre22

Wars?
Under wars it claims that it was used by the Israelis in 2006 on "civil refugees". Not only is this claim doubtful, biased and unsourced, it fails to list the numerous other wars in which it was used. The list of wars needs to be revised. 68.99.182.222 (talk) 22:44, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Where are Hornets??
Lack of F-18 in "Current equipment of the United States Air Force" table at the end of article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.165.7.38 (talk) 08:22, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Second most common use claim
The opening paragraph is worded extremely poorly. At one point it appears to claim that the Mark 84 was the second most commonly used bomb after the blu-114 daisy cutter. Given that only 225 daisy cutters were produced, I think that claim is highly suspect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.121.166.148 (talk) 16:25, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Use in bombing of Gaza in 2023
can someone please add that this bomb has been used extensively by Israel in the Gaza strip? I dont seem to have ability to edit this page right now. Thanks. See the reference here: https://www.cnn.com/gaza-israel-big-bombs/index.html Gregsmith14 (talk) 15:24, 22 December 2023 (UTC)


 * The article referenced only mentions 2000 pound bombs, not this specific bomb. And it is unconfirmed. -- VViking Talk Edits 15:28, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Vviking, thanks for the quick reply. It does mention the MK-84 specifically. It goes in to some detail about the differences between guided and unguided variants. Maybe you didnt read the whole article? It is now confirmed by The New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/21/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-bomb-investigation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.H00.DkyY.tLf6R8Fylful&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare.
 * Is that sufficient references for you to update the article? Gregsmith14 (talk) 16:33, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @ICE77 Hi Ice77. Im trying to tag you on this discussion to see you can help update this article. Let me know what you think when you are back to editing. Thanks Greg S Gregsmith14 (talk) 17:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

A little antisemitic here, ya think?
“Israel-Gaza genocide” that’s an absurdly antisemitic blood libel. Wikipedia shouldn’t be used to spew such garbage. 2600:1017:B836:6EE6:C021:E751:5507:DFD (talk) 01:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Calling it a genocide definitely does not maintain a neutral tone. Perhaps it could be changed to “conflict”. 24.166.25.176 (talk) 03:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
