signals Posted March 2, 2025 Author Share Posted March 2, 2025 Is this similar? https://reskit-models.com/gbu-62-jdam-er-bombs-with-pylons-for-mig-29-fulcrum-2-pcs-3d-printed-1-72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WKL Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 (edited) I think the outer dual-mounting pylons are carrying US GBU-12 laser guided bombs while the inner pylons carry China LS-6 GPS guided glide bomb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LS_PGB).

signals Posted March 3, 2025 Author Share Posted March 3, 2025 Got it; thanks Wondering if someone produces the 2 different kinds of pylons shown or perhaps in another kit like the J-10? # 1: with the dual AAMs # 2: with the dual GBU-12s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted October 17, 2025 Author Share Posted October 17, 2025 (edited) I am trying to figure out the mounting orientation of the LS-6 Should the side with the wing box (?) go onto the pylon or it needs to be flipped ---> what I can make out from the image here: the wingbox area is facing the ground. If that is the case that the wingbox of the gbu is facing downwards..does that bomb rotate during release for proper orientation? And guessing the plying adapters are not required for the JF-17?

WKL Posted October 18, 2025 Share Posted October 18, 2025 The bomb released in the pic by JF-17 is a Pakistan made Takbir smart bomb. Its mounting point is on the bomb body. https://x.com/zspcl/status/1624938396140421131 LS-6 which is made by China, has its mounting points on the wing adapter.

They look eerily similar and hence all the confusion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still am curious as to how the Takbir either rotates or rolls to have a high wing profile in flight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted October 19, 2025 Share Posted October 19, 2025 Very simple, it is mounted upsidedown. On release it drops and rotates and the wings are now on top. Same arrangement is on many bombs in the Ukrainian War. There are a lot of videos on internet showing the release and rotation. Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
