Description

The LT-2, originally designated the LS-500J, was the first munition in the Lei Ting series. It entered service in the 1990s.

The system consists of a strap-on guidance kit for general-purpose bombs. It utilizes semi-active laser homing with an annular airfoil seeker and a quadrant detection assembly. Maneuverability is provided by a cruciform tail assembly using bang-bang control. The munition is equipped with a high-explosive warhead.

The LT-2 is widely deployed by the People's Liberation Army Air Force, where it is designated K/YGB500. It is also integrated for use on the JF-17 Thunder.
