Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
| Bomb characteristics | |
|---|---|
| Guidance | Laser |
| Missile guidance time | 60 secs |
| Mass | 970 kg |
| Explosive type | TNT |
| TNT equivalent | 500 kg |
Effective damage
Describe the type of damage produced by this type of bomb (high explosive, splash damage, etc)
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
BGL can be used in GRB with great accuracy to hit armored vehicles and AAs. they can also be used very effectively in air simulator battles to attack bases, bot armored vehicles and in wild weasel function, destroying any anti-aircraft defending bases, the battlefield or the airports.
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
- Laser guidance grants high bombing precision
- Laser guidance bomb allows for flexibility on where to release weapon
- Laser guidance allows for long range/ high alt bomb drop, avioding air defence max range
Cons:
- Laser guidance requires you to keep a laser pointed at the target, limiting what manoeuvres the aircraft can pull after dropping the bomb
- The laser from your aircraft can be blocked by buildings or terrain
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
