Product Details

Syhart AD007-72 :

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 « GBU-12 ».

- GBU-12s are laser guided bombs 500lb class (250kg).

Used on :
- body Mk.82 : Mirage 2000C/D/N, Rafale B/C, and others…
- body CBEMS : Super-Etendard, Rafale M, Atlantique 2 (ATL2)…

Able to strike static or moving targets with low hardness in good weather conditions. The bomb is guided to the designated target by a laser, "illuminated" by the plane dropping the bomb, or another plane, or even by troops on the ground.

The Rafale may be equiped by following laser designator pods :
- "Damoclès" Pod - (Syhart AD010)
- "Talios" (PDL NG) Pod - (Syhart AD011)
- "Sniper" AN/AAQ-33 Pod (export only) - (available soon)

The Rafale (all versions) carry up to six GBU-12, 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.
