"The Israeli Air Force showed off its
F-16 fighter with the special SPICE-2000 bomb,
which is one of the most powerful weapons the Israelis have in their arsenal.
On its social media, the Israeli Air Force showed a photo of a fighter with a distinctive weapon.
As experts from the OSINTtechnical channel pointed out, this is the first time in the ongoing conflict that we can see an
Israeli F-16 with a SPICE-2000 bomb.
At the same time, OSINTtechnical drew attention to the context in which the photo was posted by the Israeli Air Force.
The official post noted that the Israelis managed to destroy the house of Isma'il Haniya, the head of Hamas' political bureau, in an airstrike.
It's possible that SPICE-2000 was used for this purpose.
SPICE
(Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective)
is the name of a set of electro-optics and GPS systems developed by Rafael.
It transforms ordinary bombs into intelligent precision weapons.
It consists of a head with an inertial navigation system (INS) and a GPS system.
The system transmits images to operators up to the moment of impact of the bomb and adjusts its course during flight using foldable wings.
Thanks to satellite guidance, SPICE allows you to attack camouflaged targets, while providing a 'drop and forget' option, even for several bombs at the same time.
The additional steerable wings provided by SPICE allow the bomb to glide,
increasing its range by approximately 60 kilometers.
More importantly, they limit the impact error to a radius of approximately 3 meters.
SPICE-2000 is one of Israel's biggest bombs
The SPICE kit can be mounted on four versions of bomb warheads:
250 lb (113 kg), 1,000 lb (453 kg) and 2,000 lb (907 kg) bombs.
The latter make up SPICE-2000,
which is one of Israel's most dangerous weapons . Thanks to the sets, the Israelis can strike precisely with enormous force.
In the Israeli Air Force,
SPICE-2000 can be carried by F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighters.
Israel has been using bombs with this set since 2003,
and they have enjoyed relative export success.
They are part of the arsenal equipment, including:
Greece, South Korea and India."
