Türkiye unveiled its Mk 84 Gazap (Wrath) bomb at the International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2025 held in Istanbul from 22 to 27 July. Developed by the Turkish Ministry of National Defenseʼs Research and Development Centre, the indigenously produced munition is the largest and most powerful member of the Mk 80 family of freefall low-drag general purpose (GP) munition that can deliver thousands of fragments optimised to target personnel and light armoured targets.
Gazap has a length of 2.6 m and a diameter of 460 mm, with a launch weight of 907 kg. After launch from an aircraft, it follows a ballistic trajectory towards its target, stabilised by four tailfins. It delivers 453 kg of TBX filling, with an impact, time delay fuze, dispersing 10,000 fragments at a density of 10.16 fragments/m².
The munition can be mounted on underwing pylons and is compatible with aircraft certified to carry the Mk 84 GP bomb. It is also compatible with guidance kits developed for that bomb.
