 On Sunday (Feb 10), CNN showed a video of a bridge 
 being blown up by a Laser guided bomb dropped from
 a Jaguar of the French Air Force. 
 My questions are:
 
 #1. Are these bomb similar to the Pave-Way type systems
 in the USAF ? 
 
 #2. Does the Jaguar version with the French AF have the
 capability to illuminate the target themselves or was the
 target illuminated by another aircraft ?
 
 And of course I would welcome any other information on
 the British built Jaguars being flown by other countries.
 Do the Americans have any UK Jaguars ? If so, what role
 would they be used in ?
