USAF Arms F-16, A-10 With Laser-Guided Rockets
The rollout of laser-guided rockets to operational theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan is continuing, with BAE Systems confirming on June 8 that the U.S. Air Force has fielded its mid-body guidance kits for the 2.75-in. (70mm) rounds on the Lockheed Martin F-16 and Fairchild Republic A-10.
The Marine Corps recently began carrying the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) on its Boeing AV-8B Harrier II, but the F-16 and A-10 deployments mark the first time the weapons have been sent into combat zones by the Air Force.
