Product Details

Syhart AD005-72 :

This kit consists of two 3D printed resin parts in very high resolution, a decals sheet and an A6 instruction page for a pair of « AASM 250 ».

- AASM 250 (Armement Air-Sol Modulaire)
- NATO designation : « HAMMER » (Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range).

The AASM are « classics » bombs (Mk.82 ou CBEMS 250 types) to which a guidance kit and a propellant have been added, allowing it to reach distances up to five times greater than standard guided bombs (GBU type) with the same precision.

The Rafale (all versions) carry up to six AASM 250, installed under the AT 730 triple pylons (Syhart AD003)

Note : "body Mk.82" or "body CBEMS" what is it ?

The AASM 250, GBU-12 and GBU-49 exist in this two variants :

- The guided bombs are based on standard unguided bombs (the same as those used during the vietnam war) which a "guidance kit" has been added ; with tail, and guiding head (laser, optique, inertielle, GPS...) to make them extremely precise.

- So what are the differences between "body Mk.82" and "body CBEMS" ?

The same guidance kit can be mounted on differents types of bombes, in most of case, the american standards bombs are used (Mk.82, 83 or 84, BLU-...), but these bombs do not meet the safety standards aboard aircraft carriers such as the Charles-de-Gaulle (R91).

The CBEMS bombs (Secure Multiple Effects Bomb Body), were developed for this purpose, so they are mainly used by the Navy. They have a slightly shorter body than a Mk.82 with a cylindrical section, so the guide heads are a bit longer in order to keep the same aerodynamic characteristics.

Air force = body Mk.82
Marine = body CBEMS
(exceptions are always possible)

They have no printing irregularities, the fins are thin but strong. The parts are protected in a «cage» allowing transport and storage without breakage, including fins.
