Sure. But the fighter must know where are these targets, and the GPS-signal can be jammed. The 30m miss is unacceptable for some kinds of targets, you know.Now unless you can jam the JDAMs internal guidance, it's going where it was aimed after release. One Fighter can drop multiple JDAMS to multiple targets in a matter of seconds.
Boeing JDAM
"Using full GPS-aided INS guidance, the accuracy of JDAM is officially quoted as 13 m (43 ft), but real figures are reportedly slightly better, around 10 m (33 ft). When GPS is unavailable (e.g. because of jamming), accuracy in INS-only mode drops to 30 m (100 ft) CEP, but that's still good enough for many purposes, and therefore GPS-jamming is far from disabling JDAM bombs."
And don't forget, that "Thor" and "Tunguska" can shoot bombs.
"The Last Bullet Fight" scenario? It usually looks much better on a movie screen than on a battlefield. But as you wish.Now, let's allow you to have your lone S-400 and I get my Lone F-35A.
"After a week of the fierce battle all British jets were shoot down, and only one Norwegian F-35A with two JDAMs is still active at RAF Marham.
The little green men lost all their AAA, L-band radar, passive sensors, wasted almost all missiles. But: they still have their main radar, one missile, observers with IR-seekers (their own and in FSA), some fake missile launchers and 3 roughly masked fake radars (with emmiters). FSA have a few agents in your army, mostly friendly population in Scotland, support of the EU and enough of Mistral-M3 MANPADS.
Nukes are allowed in the most of my scenarios, but right now, well, a nuclear submarine with ICBMs is just a super-important target (another one was successfully destroyed in the previous suicidal attack). If you fail to destroy it - Free Scotland Army (with French support) will win the war. And you don't know her exact position in the harbour, because it was moved after your previous attack.No nukes allowed.
Really? You have one F-35A with two JDAMs, one super-important target, three fake SAM radars, one real (you will know who is who only after one of them lock you at the distance 35-50 clicks), the battlefield is covered by smoke and aerosol veil and you can't use low-attitude attack because of MANPADS.You can have the highest quality crew manning your S-400 system but even they can't make it any better than it already is. Your Scenario is busted.
It will be anything but a piece of cake.
How it was in that old DPRK comedy?
