DEADLY MINI MEATBALL BOMBS | VIGGEN Close Air Support 

Isn't that called an airburst detonation, or is that term reserved for nuclear weapons or something

I was looking for the explanation. Thank you.

They are also one of the definitions of a "daisy cutter". Explodes the bomb above the ground for the fragmentation effect rather then the bomb burying itself in the ground and smothering the fragments. Good video btw. o7

@@jaek__ no, since it is technically still hitting the ground, airburst would use an altitude sensor rather than basically a longer fuze. also these are just meant to explode above ground not above the target itself, airburst is usually for bigger bombs and it explodes directly above the target so the shrapnel or straight down onto the target

@cavemanbum ahhh thank you my friend

Did you serve?

And did you ever witness a real BRRRT in person? I heard there were many BRRRTs to be heard.

@@ThelVadam7777 Yeah I was an Infantrymen in the United States Army with the 3rd Calvary Regiment of Mounted Riflemen. It was a Stryker unit

@@angry_zergling Yes both in theatre and in training

@@angry_zergling No he has a vacation home in Kandahar, real cheap housing next to the poo pond

might wanna change that to skatt before some brits show up saying scat

Wait - Welfare was around during the 10th Century?!?!

@@moistmike4150 yes, taxes have existed since some of the first ruling empires. They may have varied a few times with what is to be payed with such as gold, wool, grain etc. The Greek and roman empires had taxes as well as the Egyptians around 3000BC. There are only 2 certainties in life, death and taxes hahaha

@@monolitwoods Did any prior civilizations distribute crack pipes? 'Cuz, that's a thing.

Spot on

I laughed a little to hard at that

That's really nice... Imagine make a platoon with your wife and your "friend"

hold on, your wifes boyfriend ?!?

Interesting.. 🤔

@@Past10Performance same. It also took me a while to realize

a bit sad that this advanced fragmentation bomb is pretty much useless in war thunder since there is no soft targets to use it against, instead we pretty much have to use it against buildings where the low HE content makes it pretty awful

Lincoln or Shackleton would be good too, 18000lb if bombs

Nothing so Fancy I'm afraid. It's just a daisy cutter style fuse designed to make the bomb airburst. For the 120kg Sprängbomb m/71 it would primarily be used on the high drag (Parachute Retarded) version of the bomb. And the purpose of the fuse is to cause the bomb to detonate mid air instead of burrowing into the ground before exploding. (Bomb explodes when the Fuse probe touches the ground and the bomb is still airborne)

Do any of you know what kind of targeting assistance the pilot would've had for the bombs? I thought perhaps Viggen's -Nintendo™- cartridge-fed computer "CK-37" might've helped with such a thing but then recalled that its purpose was mostly for navigation.

@@Lowkeh It is also used for mavericks.

@@thehover6824 Oh cool, thank you! The more you know. 👍

The DCS Viggen is the AJS37 not the AJ37 from the video dont know if they have the same computer

@@Lexus-fo3ey as far as i am aware, the CK37 was introduced with the SAAB 37 Viggen and was in there since the first variant. The AJS is just an upgreated variant of the AJ. The "S" in AJS is for Spaningsflygplan what means something like Reconnaissance aircraft translated. They took the Attack Aircraft version and gave it some ELINT systems and Sidewinder for self defense purpose to do reconnaissance missions that was done before by the SF Variant (For Ground Recon) and SH Variant (For Sea Recon). (The SF and SH Variants had special camara systems so the AJS was not capable to overtake all that stuff, it did more things like Radar detection and so). Just the JA Version is special of its kind because it had an Air-Air-Radar instead of an Air-Ground Radar. So every version had a special purpose. The SF had no Radar because the Detail-Photo Camera was in the nose, the SH had a radar with long range that was good on the ocean to find ships but was bad for wide Landscape scanning, therefor the AJ came in place for that. But all of them must have had the CK37

Just found out, the CK37 was the reason, it was possible to switch from double-seat to single-seat aircraft for attack missions because it overtook work that was done by a second pilot before in the SAAB 32 Lansen.

@@gorn1675 really interesting findings thank u for ur quick response

The tip is the Airburst fuse. When the tip hits the ground the bomb detonates mid-air.

iirc the outside pylons could mount RB-24Js as well as the inside ones irl. This would potentially open up loadouts for 2x 30mm + 4x RB-24J, or all of the current ground ordinance options + 2 RB-24Js. This would make this thing actually viable imo. It’s really not a fun jet to use in Ground RB when it has either has no countermeasures (when taking a useful payload) or no air-to-air capability. In actually matches, I almost always take my fighter JA-37C over my AJ-37, even for CAS, because it retains the air-to-air capabilities as well as countermeasures without sacrificing ANY ground attack ability. For example if you want to have countermeasures or guns as well as rockets on the AJ-37, you have to sacrifice two pylon of rockets. The JA-37C can mount all 4 pylons of rockets, AND 2x RB-24J, as well as countermeasures and guns. On top of this, it always brings the massively powerful Oerlikon KCA, which shreds both jets and MBTs alike with ground target belts. I find the AJ-37 to be a bit masochistic imo, it’s just too situational. Sure it’s kinda good… if there’s no spaa for the entire round and not a single enemy fighter spawns in… because that happens allllll the time

that and the Centurion 5/1 are my favourite tanks :3

yesssssssssss

Assign a free look key, i take ”Left Alt” or ”C” a mouse button is also recommended for some

The RB34J is worthless with the buffed flares
