It depends on a few different things, delivery profile, air pressure, fusing etc, but the rough figures IIRC are about 2500 feet in diameter, and 2000 feet in altitude for the Mk-82 series munitions.


Somewhat helpful thanks. Do you mean the blast of an Mk-82 ejects material 2000 feet in the air? Wow. 2000 lb bombs must really suck to be dropped on you.

I know each bomb varies in damage due to many conditions but on average waht would they do. How big of an area is totally destroyed by the blast in the 2500 feet radius. For example if you had a bunch of 20ft x 20ft sturdy but nothing special concrete buildings in that radius, how many would be total rubble and how many would have been just damaged but mainly standing. Again thanks for the input, I am learning much about it.

Mk-82 Dumb bombs Wow, they only cost $268 for that big of a bang, scary.
