CAS Bombing question
Posted: 2010-04-08 19:03
I was just wondering, if someone is flying CAS in a jet (F16, A10, etc) and there is a lase, can they drop the bomb without having a lock and have it fly to the location, will the bomb pick up the lase and hit it? Because I've heard people talking about "lobbing" the bomb (fly a little farther away, pull up, and release the bomb in a climb, causing it to arc and go farther).
Long story short, will bombs that are released without a lock still lock onto the lase by themselves and hit them?
