he SDB-II uses jam-resistant GPS/INS targeting like Boeing’s GBU-39 SDB-I, but its added seeker features 3 modes of operation: semi-active laser, millimeter-wave radar, and uncooled imaging infrared. By combining these 3 modes, the GBU-53 can have excellent performance against a variety of target types, under any weather conditions, while making it much more difficult to use countermeasures or decoys successfully
Moving Target: Raytheons GBU-53 Small Diameter Bomb II
The 250 pound GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb gives American fighters the ability to carry more high-precision GPS-guided glide bombs, without sacrificing punching power against fortified targets. The initial award to Boeing was controversial, andwww.defenseindustrydaily.com
Thanks for the description and the link. I am logging-off so will read this tomorrow and reply.
I dont know if they teach stuff like this in Iran, but North Vietnam, a regime no different to North Korea invaded South Vietnam. And US tried to save them. They did to succeed, obviously. I dont know if you think Communist regimes just had a right to invade whomever they wanted? But obviously US devastated them and as you say killed a tremendous number of people there. The same happened in Korea and the same would have happened in East Germany if they were stupid enough to invade their neighbour.
LOL.
