AGM-142 Raptor
Derived from the Israeli-American (Lockheed Martin/Rafael) Popeye air-to-surface missile. TV and IR guidance, I assume very similar to GBU-15. Two types of warheads to choose from. A 340 kg three-warhead or a 360 kg penetrator. Although a very effective weapon, it was not used in Operation Desert Storm for political reasons (Israeli weapon). During the Allied Force operation over Serbia in the spring of 1999, two AGM-142 missiles were fired from B-52 bombers. There are two versions:
AGM-142 (Popeye I) Have Nap has been in service since 1992, with 130 planned for production.
The AGM-142 (Popeye II) Have Lite is a lightweight version with a range of 150 km, and was scheduled to enter service in 2000. Unfortunately, I don't have more information. Perhaps in time. If you buy one, be prepared for $1.54 million.
