Paveway IV aerial bombs – characteristics and features
Paveway IVs are 500-pound aerial bombs that use a high-explosive warhead and a laser targeting system.
For the first time, Paveway IV aerial bombs were used by the British Air Force in Afghanistan.
According to data from open sources, Paveway IV aerial bombs can be installed on American-made F-16 fighters, which are planned to be delivered to Ukraine this year, as well as Soviet-era aircraft.
