LS is an abbreviation for a family of Chinese built precision-guided munitions (PGM) named Thunder Stone Precision Guided Bomb (Chinese: 雷石精确制导炸弹, Léi-shí Jīngquè Zhì-dǎo Zhàdàn) developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).[1] Alternatively, the LS PGB is also referred to by its gliding capability, as Thunder Stone Gliding Guided Bomb (Chinese: 雷石滑翔制导炸弹 Léi-shí Huáxiáng Zhì-dǎo Zhàdàn), or LS GGB. The guidance design of LS PGB is also adopted for another family of Chinese PGM, the YZ series, such as YZ-102 series. These PGMs are referred to in China as precision guided bombs (PGB).
