My bad. Thats not a riveted door. Still think its a drop tank. Never seen a dent like that on an un-exploded bomb.

they might have been using napalm and it didnt explode and i dont think the isralies use lazer guided or gps guided bombs

Sure they do. They are the top U.S. customer.

It could be a napalm bomb as well, however, I do agree with never having seen a dent like that on a dud bomb before. The casings are just to thick for dents like that.

No offense Elfie but thats ignoring a lot of physical facts. There is no telling how fast that bomb was going when it hit whatever caused the dent but a fuel tank and napalm bombs are a lot softer then bomb cases and even napalm would have ripped open and spilled its contents. I would have to say this bomb was dropped shallow at a high rate of speed and simply could not penetrate whatever it hit. The nose isnt bent but the tail is and thats consistent with the way they are made. Nothing mysterious here.

Who uses a torpedo in the middle of the desert anyway? 

Obviously the Israeli pilot is also a SAPP member as we're the only ones that would think of using a torpedo in the desert to take down a house.

It looks like a drop tank tail down which is why the fins are not visible.  They tend to tumble when they fall.  A DT would explain the large dent on the side.  Shear inertial would punch a DT easily through a wall.

A GBU-24 iirc is machined out of a howitzer barrel. I don't think that would puncture quite so easily.

So does anyone know what it actually is then? drop tank, big bomb. small bomb?

[splitatom]

i dont think the arguement over this will ever end
