BLU-3 Pineapple

It was used extensively in the Vietnam War by American forces.

On some Arc Light missions, the B-52Ds carried two SUU-24 dispensers in the bomb bay, containing a total of 10,656 bomblets.

The BLU-3/B 'Pineapple' was a fragmentation bomblet for use against personnel and unarmored targets.

After release from the aerial dispenser, the bomblet was stabilized by six pop-out drag vanes.

It detonated on impact, and dispersed 250 high-velocity steel pellets.
