Historical Overview and Application

The MK.82 bomb, developed in the United States, is one of the most widely used types of 500-pound general purpose free-fall bombs. Its variant with MK.15 Snakeye tail fins, featuring deployable blades, was specifically designed for low-altitude drop, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft from the bomb's own explosion. MK.82 bombs with MK.15 Snakeye fins were widely used during the Vietnam War and saw continued service in numerous conflicts of the Cold War era and modern times—from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf and NATO missions. These bombs have been used predominantly by the United States Air Force, US Navy, and numerous allied nations.
