Hajo L. Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Sometimes even the german MoD releases cool videos...: Narration is in german, but the pictures are worth a thousand words... The scenes where they release 2 respective all 4 GBUs at once is simply awesome! HAJO Edited December 20, 2017 by Hajo L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 So the bombs are released at one time but they arrive in different times? That's pretty clever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nice, not often you see German Typhoons with Litening pods on centerline. Also interesting to see the release of the GBU-16s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bushande Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Daaang! That's pretty awesome! 'baut damn time Luftwaffe Tiffies got some propper A/G capability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Those are a new variant of GBU-16's, they are Dual Mode Laser Guided Bomb (DMLGB) variants. Basically, they are Laser and GPS guided. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 They're called GBU-48 in the video. Fisrt drop of the blue GBUs was GPS guided, while the drop of the four bombs together was laser guided. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Very cool. I read that with the retirement of the Tornado imminent, that they're going to give the Typhoon a true A/G capability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
