Those are JDAMs, they got them from the Americans
How are they launching these? Are MiGs compatible with them?
MiGs weren't compatible with HARM before the war
Where there's a will, there's a way
I misread this as "if there's a war, there's a way." I like that better.
You could launch jdams off a hot air balloon as long as you had a way to give them an arming signal
I still say we need a way to fire them from HIMARS
Doesn't it need momentum from the Fighter's speed? Otherwise it's just a dumb bomb
It gets some ke from gravity but yes, range would be extremely limited from a blimp. I was speaking in purely technical terms though.
hypothetically, how far could a jdam launched from a trebuchet or a catapult go?
How big is your trebuchet?
the largest ever (english warwolf 1304)trebuchet could only throw 300 pounds 660 feet.
Good. More dead Russians.
How long before they hit a building with Prigozhin in it?
>How long before they hit a building with Prigozhin in it?
by random chance or by a tip by either Ukrainian recon, US or Russia?
No no keep him alive to create a little dissentery among the ranks.
dysentery in the russian ranks is a given.
Fun fact. Real military's don't need Wunderwaffen. They just have competent weapons

Look at him. Look at him and laugh.
Russia is not a real military.
those are Russian thermobarics, perfect for roasting piggies with xaxaxa
>HIMARS M31 GMLRS range: 43.5 mi (70 km)
>JDAM-ER range: 46 mi (74 km)
>HIMARS M31 GMLRS cost: $168,000 per missile
>JDAM-ER cost: $27,000 a unit + bomb cost ($3,100 for Mk 84)
Uhhhhhh HIMARSisters? I don't feel so good....
Now what about the delivery system?
That doesn't account for the $100 million aircraft required to drop it.
retard, see
Jdam er doesn’t hit anything like those ranges from low altitude. More like 10ish mi toss bombed from the deck
what would be riskier? 10 miles away low alt, or 45 miles away high alt?
Depends on the local ADN, but in most cases I'd rather deal with MANPADs and guns for an extra 35 miles then missiles, but you can always come in low, zoom climb, and then dive back to the dirt after release.

How about taking a couple minutes of "tactical pause" before you post
I so hope they have enough of these to spam and completely collapse the Bakhmut front

someones angry
version with sound for even more kino
That's Kiev getting lit up
Given that the whole point of the JDAM program was to turn Americas massive, soviet-esque stockpile of obselete dumb bombs into pgms, they just might
if there's one thing the US has more than MLRS rockets, it's bombs
the US has bombs coming out the wazoo due to the political power of the US Air Force
200 of these will hit Chinese held islands in the South China Sea in first 5 minutes followed by another 100 to clean up any survivors
300 bombs isn't a lot. Very disappointing. China will win.
200? We buy like 8k jdam kits a year even in peacetime lol
Something is hitting Russian front lines in Bakhmut tonight really hard. Too bad we will never see footage from the other side.
>Artemivsk
It's either Bakhmut or Artemovsk. Artemivsk is the Ukrainian spelling of Artemovsk and literally nobody uses it anymore. Tell your handlers to get their shit together, Rajneesh.
You can order those on Etsy, Incredible style and decor, plus one-of-a-kind gifts right this way!
glider wings (assuming JDAM-ER) and gps guidance strapped to cheap vietnam-era design bombs is apparently a wonder waffle now. According to the wonderful folks throwing hypersonic missiles (don't forget the US doesn't have those like they do!) at civilian targets.
aircraft gotta fly pretty high to get max range on glide bombs, which is risky without air supremacy. migs are both pretty expensive and in short supply even without considering the cost, and that goes double for competent pilots. You can get a much bigger boom on target with a mk84 payload though, which adds some incentive to taking that risk.
Got 'em discounted at a pie factory.
How the fuck are ukies flying anything around bakhmut? That’s basically on Russia’s border. Haha what air defence doing???? XD
fly low and lop the bomb upwards for extra range and turn away before you get spotted
Russia doesn’t have the pilots to run constant CAP at this point
>Haha what air defence doing????
DEAD
They either dont want to give away positions, cant intercept the planes, or they're literally not there.
>what air defence doing???? XD
thanks for the original
might be time for some long range trolling
Don't worry about it.
