Chapter 486: Hit, the Plane.

The MK82 is actually just a conventional bomb, but it's often used as the warhead for laser-guided bombs. It's incorrect to refer to it as an MK82 laser-guided bomb; the correct term should be the CBU-12 laser-guided bomb. However, many people are accustomed to calling it the MK82 laser-guided bomb instead of the CBU-12.

Gao Yang had no intention of correcting Nate's habitual reference, and after taking cover in the woods, without any high-value targets, the Super Tucano aircraft wouldn't just drop laser-guided bombs, since they're not cheap, and Colombia isn't as financially robust as the good ol' USA.

For Gao Yang and the others, the threat from laser-guided bombs wasn't too great after they'd taken cover in the woods. But if a MK-20 was dropped, that would truly spell their doom.

The MK20 cluster bomb weighs only 222 kilograms but contains 247 MK118 submunitions. Once deployed, a single MK20 can cover an area of 4,800 square meters.
