BOCN Guess what it is

[Yodamaster]

Yeah, Hazord, that's correct.

Over to you !


Yoda

 

[HAZORD]

Give this a try. Shouldn't take long for some.

 

[roller63]

I'm guessing Nike Hercules

That sounds like a good name for a pair of trainers (sneakers to our US friends)

 

[HAZORD]

Okay, here is some more.

 

[Yodamaster]

AA missile command panel ?


Yoda

 

[Slick]

Well, back in the day, we had what was called T-SAMs, full of all sorts of adjustables for testing the launching systems. This looks to be something along those lines. Air to ground. Was gonna say Hellfire because that's the one that popped in my head. A test missile of some sort that's just put on the launch vehicle for sorting things out. Is there such a thing as boresighting for those?

GBU-24 Paveway 3 seeker head?

 

[Slick]

I think Glevum wins.

 

[HAZORD]

Glevum is close. Not a missile. Not a GBU-24. Think heavier.

 

[SG500]

Is it a GBU-51/B ?

Dave.

2 x GBU-24 :bigsmile:

 

[glevum]

I probably should have just said Paveway 3 since all you can see is the seeker head.

GBU-24, GBU-27 and GBU-28 all use the same seeker head.

GBU-24 and GBU-27 are both 2000lb, but the GBU-28 is 5000lb so it must be a a GBU-28

Actually you can identify the weapon by the size of the fins on the guidance unit. It is classed as a GBU (Guided Bomb Unit) The Bomb is a GBU-28 or BLU-113 "Deep Throat" bomb. It is a 5,000 Lb. class deep penetrator which can penetrate at least 22 feet of reinforced concrete or 100 feet of earth. It is advertised as the most destructive non-nuclear precision guided weapon in the U.S. inventory. As you can see on the guidance assembly the coupler and fins are clearly marked for use on GBU-28. The fins have only 5 indentations due to their smaller size. I have included photos of the GBU-24 2,000 Lb. bomb using a Mk 84 body and GBU-24 guidance and airfoil group. The guidnace fins are much larger with 7 indentations and all parts are clearly marked for use on GBU-24. The GBU-28 uses the FMU-143 Fuze. Photos copyright HAZORD 2013.

So Glevum, over to you.

 

[glevum]

How about this one

 

[hangarman]

20mm oerlikon

 

[glevum]

no, bigger

 

[Yodamaster]

30 mm DEFA ?


Yoda

 

[glevum]

It is not an cannon round, and is much larger than 30mm

 

[EOD]

76mm for the Scorpion.

Hazord, thanks a lot for sharing the images!
Any chance this one could be fixed?:
