Chinese guided bomb, History, Performance & Discussion

A lot of ACMI pods have fins

Yeah I see but the F16 would normally have only one on rather than two since it could go on the wing tip hardpoints and the other one would carry a AIM9

At least not for PLAAF

It’s a J10A carrying it, but what is the round head large fins missile on the other wing, I’ve only seen PL8s with such big fins, but they would have two sets of fins.

Maybe older PLAAF ACMI Pods had fins. That J-8 picture is probably from late 1990s.

Are you sure those are of the J-8H? Air Power Australia (an imperfect blogger as all are) seems to have indicated it was a J-8F.

This discussion might also be better had in the J-8 Machinery of War discussion which I just necro-posted on.

In this picture those ACMI pods look even more like a missile. It kinda reminds me of R73.

Yeah, not to sure on those, I haven’t spent the headache towards trying to figure them out yet.

A book i have claims that the image is a J-8H

It is carrying two of them so it is unlikely to be ACMI since normally only one is carried.

J-10A , JF-17 Block 1 and JH-7A from dev server lack GPS/INS guided bomb ?

Is LS-6 compatible with ordinary bomb pylons? Or does it require special wiring?

JF-17 can carry 7 500lb bombs, so that means it should be able to carry 7 500lb LS-6?

great they added the LS-6 for the JF-17, the J10A, J8F and JH7A can also shoot them,

I made a report which explains all that

What about the LS-6 250?

That bug report was rejected “because the GB250 that we have in the game looks different from the GB250 in the picture”

And indeed, seems like the GB250 that we have in the game is actually TG250 which was later renamed to GB250 (GB3).

But this bomb also uses dual mode Laser / GPS guidance, according to a brochure from the manufacturer.

Spoiler

(This last one is the glide version, but just to confirm the information in the brochure)

So I made a new report:
