EDGE Group says MK 82 Penetrator defeats reinforced concrete over one metre thick, completing UAE-developed aircraft munition programme
UAE defense group EDGE has announced the completion of its MK 82 Penetrator aircraft munition development program, with the company stating the weapon can defeat reinforced concrete structures exceeding one metre in thickness. The penetrator represents a domestically developed precision munition for UAE air forces, reducing reliance on imported weapons for hard-target strike missions. The completion of the program marks a capability milestone for the UAE's defense industrial base and its ambition to produce advanced air-delivered munitions indigenously.
