Laser Guided Bomb
A Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) is a type of precision-guided munition that uses a laser guidance system to hit specific targets. It is designed to improve accuracy compared to traditional bombs, allowing military forces to strike targets with minimal collateral damage. The bomb is typically equipped with a laser seeker that homes in on a laser spot, which can be painted by a ground or air-based laser designator.
LGBs are often used in modern warfare to engage high-value targets, such as enemy vehicles or infrastructure. They can be deployed from various aircraft, including fighter jets and bombers, making them versatile tools in military operations.
