MK.106 The Mk 106 is a 2.27 kilogram practice bomb used for training purposes as a low-cost low-risk alternative to live munitions. The MK-106 is used to simulate the MK 82 in high drag configuration. MK.76/BDU-33 The Mk 76 is a 11.3 kilogram practice bomb used for training purposes as a low-cost low-risk alternative to live munitions. This 25 pound training weapon is non-explosive and has a smoke cartridge to mark the point of impact. It simulates 500, 1000 and 2000 pound bombs.  BDU-50 Practice ordnance includes the BDU-50, a 500 lb. Air Force practice bomb. The BDU-50 bombs have a spotting charge that releases a cloud of smoke on impact. The Mk-82/BDU-50 500-pound and the BDU-56 [the inert version of the MK-84 2,000-pound bomb] are also used on some targets. These inert heavyweight bombs are dropped either with a parachute for High Drag, or Slick, which has no drag device. In either case, their weight creates enough splash or dirt spray, to be easily spotted without using an explosive charge. Delivery of a BDU-50 High Drag Bomb from a low altitude, low dive angle results in the bomb impacting at or near the target and has very little or no ricochet, due to the aerodynamic effect of the high drag retard device. |
All forward firing will be conform the range orders with the mandatory attack heading of 321'degrees. In the period from 15 September to 28 February, air forces have permission to throw up to 70 real bombs.
