Atlantique 2 - new bomber ?

Post by Tintin »

Hi all,

Since July, the Marine Nationale Atlantique 2 has been certified as "bomber".
It can drop GBU-12 guided bombs, but no laser targeting pod available, so a TacP or another aircraft must illuminate the target.

If we add that the aircraft has no self-protection systems, I'm wondering the real interest of this certification... :roll:
