Air-to-Ground Missiles and Guided Bombs

This group collects the Missiles And Guided Munitions subcategory's air-to-ground and air-to-surface strike weapons: guided and glide bombs, precision-guided munition guidance kits that convert an unguided bomb into a precision weapon, air-to-ground and air-to-surface missiles and rockets, and unguided aircraft rockets fielded alongside their guided successors. Its 24 members are united by their launch platform and target, an aircraft striking a ground target, distinguishing them from the air-to-air missiles and the anti-ship missiles classified in sibling groups even where the underlying guidance technology overlaps.
