MW-1

The MW-1 (Mehrzweckwaffe 1, multipurpose weapon) is a German munitions dispenser similar to the British JP233. It is designed to be carried on the Tornado IDS, although it can be carried on the F-104 Starfighter and the F-4 Phantom. Since the German Government decision to support the ban on cluster ammunition, the MW-1 is currently being phased out.

Submunitions

The MW-1 was designed so that different types of submunitions may be loaded into its 112 tubes. The MIFF, MUSA and MUSPA mines are parachute dropped, and upon reaching the ground self-right and arm. The mines are blast-resistant and are reported to have self-destruct devices giving them a lifespan of less than forty days.

KB 44

(Kleinbombe 44): Bomblets for use against unarmored and light armored targets such as vehicles and airplanes, etc.

STABO

(Startbahnbombe): Bomb to destroy runway. The first shaped charge explodes on impact creating a channel under the surface. An additional charge creates an explosion under the concrete runway to make a crater with heaved sides (large jagged, uprooted edges), making it much more difficult to repair the runway because the large jagged pieces have to be broken off, removed and edges smoothed before it can be patched or permanentely repaired.
