minus-squareSacredExcrement [any, comrade/them]hexbear36·5 months agoI feel compelled to mention that both bomb types mentioned are 'dumb' bombs, they have no way to be guided. Bunch of evil fucks, they won't even bother to make Israel pinky promise they won't kill civilians with the bombs before handing them over. You can't convince me Biden is trying to actually win re-election, this is too willfully stupid even for captain dementia. link
minus-squareOutdoor_Catgirl [she/her, they/them]hexbear24·5 months agoYou can put a "jdam kit" on a dumb bomb to make it steer by gps, or dive bomb from low altitude. Will they do that? Nope. link
minus-squareSacredExcrement [any, comrade/them]hexbear18·edit-25 months agoGood to know. But yeah, they probably won't considering they've been using 'dumb' bombs (and phosphorus) since the start link
minus-squareoscardejarjayes [comrade/them]hexbear7·5 months agoI would generally assume they would have JDAM or similar kits attached, but they don't seem to mention anything like that anywhere, so you're probably right. link
