GBU-15(V)21/B is a modern American guided bomb designed to strike precision ground targets using optical guidance, allowing the pilot or operator to aim at the target in real-time. It was developed during the Cold War era and entered service at the end of the 1970s. It was used, among others, during Operation Desert Storm by such aircraft as the F-4E Phantom II, F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16C/D Fighting Falcon, F-111C/F Aardvark, and the strategic bomber B-52D Stratofortress.

The GBU-15(V)21/B variant differed from its predecessors with the use of modern electronics and a guidance system that significantly increased both accuracy and safety when attacking critical enemy infrastructure. Bombs of this type were a key element in NATO's armament during the conflicts of the 1980s and early 1990s, and they continue to be used in operations worldwide today.

The Eduard 648646 set is recommended for installation on models of modern American bombers and fighters, greatly enhancing the detail and realism of the displayed aircraft. An excellent choice for experienced modelers seeking the highest level of accuracy. Assembly difficulty: 3/5—set recommended for those with experience in working with resin components.

This product is especially recommended for fans of modern aircraft modeling, Cold War era diorama reconstructions, and Operation Desert Storm.
