What is gbu-27?

The GBU-27 is a guided bomb that was developed by the United States Air Force during the 1980s. It is a variant of the Paveway series of laser-guided bombs and is designed to be launched from fighter aircraft such as the F-15, F-16, and F/A-18.

The GBU-27 has a 2,000-pound (907 kg) warhead and is guided by a semi-active laser seeker, which means that the bomb is guided to its target by lasers that are reflected off of a target designator on the ground or from an aircraft using a laser designator.

The GBU-27 has been used in a number of conflicts, including the First Gulf War, the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq War, and has been effective in destroying military targets such as bunkers, command and control centers, and air-defense systems.

Overall, the GBU-27 is a highly accurate and effective weapon that has been used extensively by the United States and its allies in military operations around the world.
