English: 2000lb Enhanced Paveway III bombs await transportation during Operation Ellamy on the runway at Gioia Del Colle Airbase in Italy.
Royal Air Force capabilities for missions over Libya have been increased with the arrival of ‘bunker busting’ 2000lb bombs. A number of Enhanced Paveway III (EPWIII) bombs, designed to punch through the roof or wall of a hardened building, have arrived at Gioia Del Colle in Southern Italy. The first set has been prepared for use, meaning that they could be loaded onto an aircraft and flown to attack a Qadhafi regime target in Libya in just a few hours. The arrival of EPWIII adds to a suite of complementary air to ground weapons carried by the RAF’s Typhoon and Tornado aircraft. Enhanced Paveway II, Paveway IV and Dual Mode Seeker Brimstone already mean that the RAF is equipped to strike virtually any target in a range of circumstances, while minimising collateral damage. Enhanced Paveway III will give the RAF an additional capability to attack hardened structures in Libya, like command centres or communications nodes. Such targets are key to disrupting regime control of its forces, preventing attacks that could target civilians.
