Hallo

i´m searching info on who , wich navy or air force , is using any of the Mk-83 versions all i have is listed below

  • Mk-83 LDGP  _  US Navy , USMC , Germany , Greece
  • Mk-83 HDGP _  Germany  (chute retarder)
  • Mk-83 Snakeye  _ US Navy , USMC
  • Mk-83 AIR  _  US Navy , USMC
  • Mk-83 BLU-110  _  US Navy , USMC

 

i´m not sure if france is using the Mk-83 and also no idea on Israel , and as far as i know the USAF did not use  the Mk-83 antil they used the GBU-32 for the F-22 and maybe for the F-35

so if anybody has infos on what country / service is using wich MK-83 that would realy help me

Israel is using Mk83. In 2015 US government approved  500 JDAM kits for 1000lb  in Israel. So i'm assuming they still have Mk83 in stocks. 

Iran was one of the users also.  I have somewhere pic of Tomcat (!) conducting test with 1000lb bomb long before Navy.
