These days the purchase of the SPICE 2000 bomb from Israel is in discussion, the same bomb used by the Indian Air Force in the Balakot strike for a distance of 60 kilometers ahead of the Line of Control between India and Pakistan.
- They can hit the ground from a considerable distance by air and are capable of blowing bunkers and buildings. SPICE is a short form of Smart, Precise, Impact, Cost Effective.
- Spice is not a bomb in its own right but it is a special armament material. It can be used as an air-to-ground bomb. It can be used as a precision guided bomb instead of just an uncontrolled bomb by directing an electro optics or GPS.
- The SPICE 2000 is the largest conventional bomb used by Indian Air Force, it has also been used in the Mirage 2000 jet of France.
- The Spice 1000 Kit is available as a 500 kg bomb, with a range of 100 km. But the Spice 2000 kit is for a 1000 kg bomb and has a range of 60 km.
- The special thing about them is that they cannot be caught from most radars on the ground.
- The Spice 2000 is often compared to laser-guided bombs that are cheaper than Spice and also accurate, but the biggest problem with them is that they do not function properly in bad weather.
- In addition, laser bombs have a range of only 15 km, while the Spice family’s smart bombs can also be killed in safe airfields.
- China’s air defense system is considered very strong, it has Russia’s S300 and S400 class systems.
- With SPICE 2000, the images already shot in his memory can be loaded. In front of it there is a camera which compares the target to the pictures placed in memory by taking a picture of the target from a distance.
- If the pictures are different from the old photos, then it can automatically turn to its right target.
- The Spice 2000 Kit correctly identifies the target as well as the need for delay in impact and activation.
- It is more useful when an attack has to take place in this multi-storey building and there is a need to do damage to a particular floor.
- The Israeli Air Force used it in areas of Lebanon and Syria in which it destroyed multi storeyed buildings in many urban areas.
