MunitionsAir-dropped bombsAircraft-delivered general-purpose bomb classAir-dropped bombs are a broad munition category documented in Philippine Air Force strike missions during the Battle of Marawi and in Colombian air operations against FARC dissidents in Arauca. Reporting often identifies only a bomb or bombing run rather than a specific model, so this entry treats them as a sourced conflict-use class rather than a single Mk-series weapon.
