    Everything is relative right ? You are right about that laserguided weapons can be hampered by weather, but there are other precision guided weapons which are not hampered at all.

    Hi Run,

    What do they mean when they say that a fighter is an all weather aircraft? Pardon me if it sounds stupid but is this neccessarily true? I mean what if it is a really cold day or there is a hurricane going on, surely they dont even leave the runway in these conditions? They also say that fighters are all weather attacking aircraft? This I dont understand because if your ordinance is something like laser guided bombs then how can the aircraft operate corectly with cloud cover? Just wondering.

    Regards

    LGBU or GBU etc. r guided by satelitte, from aircraft is bomb only lockhed 2 target and via gps getting trough 2 satellite 2 target.]

    Hi Sky
    First of all the correct names for the bombs:
    LGB - means Laser Guided Bomb(not satelitte)
    GBU - means Ground Bomb Unit
    You see?
