Overview

• The 970-kg GAZAP bomb disperses 10,000 controlled fragments to achieve 10.16 fragments per square meter across a one-kilometer radius, making it three times more powerful than standard MK-series bombs.
• NEB-2 Ghost can penetrate up to 90 meters underground and uses a 240-millisecond delayed detonation to amplify its subterranean blast effects.
• Both weapons have completed qualification and certification and are cleared for deployment from Turkey’s F-16 and F-4 fighter jets.
• Development was led by the National Defence Ministry’s R&D Centre, which plans future integration of both bombs onto drone platforms.
• Unveiled at IDEF 2025, the bombs mark a strategic step in Turkey’s bid to expand its global defense exports and rival established U.S. and Russian conventional munitions.
