History and Use of the Matra Durandal

The Matra Durandal cluster bomb was developed by the French company Matra in the 1970s. Its design was a response to the growing demand for specialized ordnance to destroy airfields and runways. The uniqueness of the bomb lies in its system for penetrating concrete surfaces and detonating beneath them, resulting in their complete destruction and the temporary immobilization of enemy airbases. It was mainly used by the French Air Force, as well as by the United States, Greece, Pakistan, and Turkey. This weapon was used multiple times from the Cold War period up to the early 21st century, including during the Gulf War and various NATO alliance operations.
