In this video, we look at the history and development of the Mark 80 series bombs, a key part of modern aerial warfare. Starting in the 1950s with new aerodynamic designs, these bombs proved themselves in the Vietnam War with versions like the Snakeeye. Over time, they became even more effective with the addition of Paveway laser-guided bombs (GBU-12, GBU-16, GBU-24) and JDAM GPS-guided munitions (GBU-31 and GBU-38). The Mark 80 family, which includes the Mark 81, 82, 83, and 84, has played a major role in missions from Desert Storm to today. Find out why this dependable and affordable bomb is still essential for the US Air Force and Navy after all these years.CONTENTS00:00 Introduction01:00 Background02:27 Service in Vietnam04:03 Evolution of the Mark 80 Family06:08 Paveway II & III07:59 JDAM10:21 Conclusion
