Grant it, this is a publication that wants to amaze people more than it wants to inform them but the info is interesting and the video is worth watching:

Hello comiso90,

nice clip, I think the MW-1 could do the job as well. Even though dropping hightec from a save altitude of a B-52 sounds better for the crew.

Is that the KB44 or the MIFF?

If I am not mistaken it is either MUSA or MUSPA = Multi fragmentation active / passive-acoustically triggered, that was used during this picture shot. A real negative side effect of the MW-1 is the “illumination” during a night mission.

I've never thought of the Buff as a anti-tank weapon...

Obviously I was mistaken!

When will tanks be too vulnerable to field?

The Tornado is a beautiful weapon but it is far more vulnerable then the B-52..

......as long as Raptors own the skies!

I'm not sure about that Comiso.

If you mean the Desert Storm Tornado mission of runway denial, then we need more information on the mission profile for each. Comparing the two for a hi-lo-hi mission, I vote Tornado for appropriate ranges.
