One Bomb, One Kill: With GPS-Guided Bombs, Ukraine’s Pilots Could Hit The Russians Almost 100-Percent Of The Time

[toomuchtime_]

The U.S. Defense Department reportedly plans to equip the Ukrainian air force with satellite-guided bombs.

The Pentagon’s proposal to give the Ukrainians Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAMs, could result in the most important single upgrade for either the Ukrainian or Russian air force since Russia widened its war on Ukraine back in February.

That’s because the JDAM is accurate, whereas almost all the other munitions the Russian and Ukrainian air arms are hanging on their MiG and Sukhoi fighters and bombers ... aren’t.

At present, a section of two Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-25 attack jets or Mikoyan MiG-29 fighters might expend a combined four unguided rockets or bombs for a chance at destroying a single target.

With JDAMs, the same two Su-25s or MiG-29s carrying two 500-pound JDAMs apiece feasibly could destroy four targets in a single sortie—and potentially at lower risk.

All that is to say, JDAM could change the air-power calculus as the Russia-Ukraine war grinds into its 10th month.

Of course it is sustainable. It may just take a little longer to get it all done.

It's called rope a dope.......you are verging on serious situation if this continues or someone else decides to take advantage of our weakness

The US is by far the most powerful nation on Earth, and temporarily having a few less stingers is not going to inspire anyone to attack us. I keep wondering why people like you make these false narratives to discourage aid to Ukraine. If you can't make you case honestly, perhaps you should reexamine your position.
