Eleven BLU-82Bs were palletized and dropped in five night missions during the 1991 Gulf War, all from Special Operations MC-130 Combat Talons.
The initial drop tested the ability of the bomb to clear or breach mine fields, however, no reliable assessments of mine clearing effectiveness are publicly available.
Later, bombs were dropped as much for their psychological effect as for their anti-personnel effects.
