  I did hear that electronic countermeasures have gotten better, reducing the accuracy of the bombs recently.

  But yeah, they’re making conversion kits for their old stockpile of big aerially dropped bombs, similar to our JDAMs. The kits are supposedly pretty easy to make.

      Yes, glide bombs are also vulnerable to electronic countermeasures. This is because of how they figure out where they are and where they need to glide to in order to get to their target.
