yakarov79 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 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. Quote
