  • AGM-130 Missile
  • AGM-130A
  • AGM-130C
  • AGM-130 Standoff Weapon System

El AGM-130 fue un misil stand-off aire-superficie propulsado estadounidense derivado de la familia de bombas guiadas GBU-15 y transportado por el F-15E Strike Eagle. Fuentes de la Fuerza Aérea, el DoD y reportes de conflictos documentan su guiado terminal por televisión o infrarrojo de imagen, enlace de datos bidireccional, mejora de medio curso GPS/INS, ojivas de clase Mk 84 o BLU-109, y uso en combate durante la aplicación de las zonas de exclusión aérea iraquíes, Operation Allied Force y la Guerra de Irak de 2003.

U.S. Air Force, museum, and Air University sources document F-111F use in Desert Storm, F-15E drops during Operation Deliberate Force, enhanced GPS/INS-equipped GBU-15 combat employment in Operation Enduring Freedom, and current deployment only from the F-15E Strike Eagle.

U.S. military and Federal Register sources distinguish the KMU-556 Mk 84 configuration from the KMU-557 BLU-109 configuration, while direct conflict-use reporting traces GBU-31/JDAM employment from Kosovo and Afghanistan to Iraq, Yemen, Operation Inherent Resolve, the Israel-Hamas war, and the 2025 Israel-Iran conflict.
AGM-65 Maverick, Air-to-surface guided missile, MunitionsMunitionsAGM-65 MaverickAir-to-surface guided missileThe AGM-65 Maverick is a U.S. air-to-surface guided missile family for close air support, interdiction, and defense suppression from aircraft including the A-10, F-16, F-15E, AV-8, F/A-18, and P-3C. Air Force and Navy fact sheets describe electro-optical, imaging-infrared, and laser-guided seekers paired with either shaped-charge or heavyweight penetrating warheads. Official sources document large-scale Desert Storm employment, later Iraq and Afghanistan use, and AGM-65F loading on a U.S. Navy P-3C Orion during 2014 Operation Inherent Resolve.

Its documented combat record includes baseline AGM-158A launches from B-1B bombers in the 2018 Syria missile strikes, AGM-158B use after the 2019 Baghdadi raid, reported Operation Rough Rider use against Houthi targets, and large-scale JASSM-family employment during the 2026 Iran War.

Official and military-history sources document GBU-24 use in the Gulf War, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and the 2003 Iraq War, while Yemen rights-monitoring sources identify GBU-24 or Paveway III-series remnants from Saudi/UAE-led coalition airstrikes where fragmentary evidence can limit exact bomb-body identification.

U.S. Air Force sources list the GBU-38 at 92.6 inches long, 558 pounds at launch, a 14-inch wingspan, up to 15 miles range, and 5-meter-or-less CEP when GPS data is available, while combat reporting documents F-15E, F-16, B-1B, and MQ-9 employment in Afghanistan, Iraq, and 2014 Operation Inherent Resolve.
