Historical / detail information

The South African Air Force (SAAF) used Limbo fuses as specialized airburst fusing mechanisms for low-drag pre-fragmented Mk81 120kg and Mk82 250kg bombs during operations. These bombs were used on many other aircraft like but not limited to the SAAF fleet of the era.
