| Synopsis: |
In military aviation, a loadout is a particular combination of weapons and ammunition, employed for a specific mission. Air-Launched Weapons: Loadouts, Tactics and Technology is a detailed guide to the air-launched weapons used by today's armed forces, their capabilities, deployment, and use in combat. From the unguided 908kg (2,000lb) Mk 82 bomb used extensively by US forces in Afghanistan, to Russia's Raduga KH-15 (AS-6) 'Kickback' air-to-ground missile, this book explores the complex world of modern air-launched munitions, showing how combinations of various types are loaded onto major types such as the F-15, Su-27/30 and Eurofighter EF2000 Typhoon, and how these combinations work together in the heat of battle. Annotations, numbered diagrams and colour battle maps help to explain some of the complex terminology and systems employed in modern warfare, providing an excellent overview of modern offensive and defensive weapons systems.Featuring specially commissioned computer-generated illustrations and an extensive directory of weapons, Air-Launched Weapons: Loadouts, Tactics and Technology is an essential reference and fascinating read for anyone interested in modern military aviation. About the Author Martin J Dougherty has written books on a variety of subjects including self-defence and warfare in addition to his work in the defence and security industry, where he is an expert on weapon systems and asymmetric conflict. |
