From: alberta!atrc!pandora!sharma (Rohit Sharma) On Sunday (Feb 10), CNN showed a video of a bridge being blown up by a Laser guided bomb dropped from a Jaguar of the French Air Force. My questions are: #1. Are these bomb similar to the Pave-Way type systems in the USAF ? #2. Does the Jaguar version with the French AF have the capability to illuminate the target themselves or was the target illuminated by another aircraft ? And of course I would welcome any other information on the British built Jaguars being flown by other countries. Do the Americans have any UK Jaguars ? If so, what role would they be used in ? ========================================================== -Rohit Sharma, Alberta Telecommunication Research Centre Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. ==========================================================
