Suu-14/a bomblet dispenser

Recommended Posts

SUU-14/A Bomblet Dispenser I have made it and it works fine

but I dont know

how many bomblets are dispensed at once (how many in each tube)?

I assume the 6 tubes fire individually.

I have done pages of searching on web and all I get is ban the cluster bomb pages.

If anyone has facts on this plz let me know and any pics of impact so I can get a better idea on the area it covers.

Thanx

good site but still no details

Quote[/b] ][2.1] US SUU-7, SUU-13, & SUU-14 DISPENSERS

* Details of cluster munitions used by the US during World War II and the Korean War are unclear. The US military used three types of submunitions dispensers in Vietnam: the "SUU-7B/A", the "SUU-13", and the "SUU-14A". These weapons are no longer in in the US inventory.

Depends on the cluster munition used. Work out what munitions you want it to dspense then search for how many bomblets(submunitions) are contained in each munition. The common cluster bombs used in the SUU-14/A were

CBU-14A/A carries ?? BLU-3/B submunitions

CBU-19  ?? - similar to CBU-30

CBU-22/A carries 72 BLU-17/B submunitions

CBU-25/A carries 132 BLU-24/B submunitions

CBU-30 carries 1,280 BLU-39/B23 CS riot gas submunition

CBU-57/A carries 132 BLU-69/B submunitions

Maybe CBU-39 gravel mines not sure if the SUU-14A could dispense those however.

Hope that helps

Good info thanx

CBU-14 would be the one I wanted being pre 1970

so the CBU-25 would be most simular to that.
