Comment on Russia dropped over 10,000 guided bombs on Ukraine in just three months
Carrolade@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI 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.

Yes, and how exactly does it know?

Ahh, that’s a new copypasta for me, thanks for sharing. I don’t run into the new ones much anymore, shitpost communities in general became a bit too skewed for me in the funny:dumb ratio at some point. That’s a good one though.
