#5  Too bad Rockeye (Mk 83) has been outlawed.

#4  Built more than a few 84s in my time, but mostly did 82s and the occasional M117 750 pounder. Keep in mind though that what you see in that picture is likely about 36 hours worth of ammo.

#3  So what's it look like exploding?

"The Mark 84 is capable of forming a crater 50 feet (15.2 m) wide and 36 ft (11.0 m) deep. It can penetrate up to 15 inches (381.0 mm) of metal or 11 ft (3.4 m) of concrete, depending on the height from which it is dropped, and causes lethal fragmentation to a radius of 400 yards (365.8 m)."

#1  They came to Israel like Einsatzgruppen into Warsaw Ghetto. Now they are getting Allied Airforces to Dresden.
