A Laser-Guided Bomb (LGB) is a type of precision-guided munition that uses laser guidance to strike targets accurately. It is equipped with a laser seeker that homes in on a laser beam reflected off the target, allowing for precise targeting even in challenging conditions. This technology enhances the effectiveness of airstrikes while minimizing collateral damage.
LGBs are often deployed from military aircraft, such as F-16 Fighting Falcons or B-52 Stratofortresses. They can be used against various targets, including buildings, vehicles, and enemy installations. The use of laser guidance has revolutionized modern warfare by improving targeting accuracy and reducing the risk of unintended damage.
