1-ton non-nuclear conventional munitions, such as 2,000-pound aerial bombs, 1.2-ton 406 mm naval artillery shells, and 1-ton anti-ship missiles or rockets.
The 2,000-pound aerial bomb can be filled with up to 429 kilograms of military explosives, accounting for more than 45% of the total weight, which is much higher than the charge ratio of other ammunition of the same class.
The internal charge of a 1-ton naval artillery shell or missile is small, and the difference in charge is large compared to that of a 2,000-pound aerial bomb.
The lethality of the 2,000-pound aerial bomb is excellent, and it can blow up a huge crater with a diameter of 15 to 20 meters and a depth of 8 to 11 meters, with a killing radius of up to 400 meters, causing heavy damage to people and objects over a wide area.
Naval artillery shells, missiles or rockets of 1 ton class do not reach the same level of lethality, and can only be loaded with 80 to 90 kilograms of high explosives at most.
Aerial bombs are considered to be the most lethal and cost-effective one-ton weapons, and because of their superior lethal effectiveness, special attention has been paid to the development of air capabilities, particularly on the ground and sea surfaces.
The superpowers developed the MK80 series of aerial bombs after World War II, of which the MK84 was a standard 2000-pound bomb with great destructive power and low cost, which was widely used.
Over time, the superpowers pursued more accurate aerial bombs, upgrading the traditional MK80 family with guidance kits to increase combat efficiency. The upgraded GBU-31 satellite-plus inertial-guided high-power bomb can achieve higher bombing accuracy.
