Authenticity and Intended Use

The BGL-400 is a French laser-guided bomb developed by Matra (now MBDA France) as a weapon for modern combat aircraft such as the Dassault Mirage 2000 and the Super Étendard. Used by the French Air Force since the late 1980s, the bomb saw action during NATO interventions, operations in the Middle East and Africa, as well as in conflicts following the end of the Cold War. It significantly bolstered the French Air Force's strike capabilities and also found buyers outside France.
