This video explores glide bombs as a concept, and goes in depth on several of the more common models. How do glide bombs compare with regular bombs and missiles in general? And how do US JDAM-ER, SDB and JSOW bombs compare with the likes of Russian ones like GROM 2 and UMPK kits.

There is one little mistake in your video, probably from the confusing mess of naming US- and generally NATO-ammunition. JDAM is the glide kit for Mk.-80 series bombs, not a bomb, JDAM-ER is the variant with a rocket booster to extend the range. So the bombs are: Mk.-82, Mk.-83, Mk.-84, BLU-109, BLU-110, BLU-111 The glide kit without a retrofit rocket booster is: JDAM The glide kit with a retrofit rocket booster is: JDAM-ER

Even if the receiving side have enough air defense to block all or most glide bombs, it's still a good exchange. For every glide bomb to be shot down, it's required as least a missile costing 4-10x that bomb. The exchange rate is not as good as cheap drone vs AA missile but still a good game to take.

@stevebuckley7788 7 ай бұрын

Glide bombs can be shot down will radar guided AA guns like Gepard or Shilka. They are "as slow as fuck" and the wings are easily damaged so they are only useful in areas without air defenses. This is why Russia is now able to use them on the front lines in Ukraine whereas they could not at the start of the war.

@nghialekim3539 7 ай бұрын

Yes, they can be shot down with radar guided AA guns. But the range those guns can cover is really limited and integrated infrared missile can't target cold missile like glide bombs. You can cover some most important assets, but the rest is undefended. You need radar guided AA missile to effectively block most of glide bombs, which is impratical in term of wallet and stockpile. It's just like how Hamas overwhelmed Israel's Iron Dome recently. Why wouldn't Israek build something like C-RAM to shoot down rocket with cheap price instead of using expensive missile cost 50-100x what it shot down? Simply because the range of gun is very limited.@@stevebuckley7788

@chaz706 8 ай бұрын

The answer is quite obvious from an engineering standpoint: bombs are really dangerous when they hit their target due to the sheer explosive force of the bomb. None of that power means anything if you miss. Anything that makes it easier and safer to reliability and consistently take something like a bomb and deliver it to target accurately is going to almost erase the primary weakness of heavy bombs. You're turning a powerful but somewhat cumbersome weapon into a precision weapon with all of the previous strengths and few of those weaknesses.

It should be noted that air defense ranges are not ao definitive. For example, an air defense system may detect an aircraft 300 km away and its SAM may reach out to 250 km. However, the radar may not be able to track an aircraft till it is within 150 km. Then there is something called the "no escape" zone. If a fighter spots a missile launch early enough, it can turn around and outrun the missile. Within, the no escape zone, the aircraft cannot outrun the missile and will need to evade or use other countermeasures to survive. This no escape zone varies with the missile and aircraft. However, the no escape zone may be only 100 km. If so an attack aircraft can launch a glide bomb outside the no escape zone and then runaway.

There is already work to stick glide bombs with rocket boost motors on HIMARS. But this technology is also being worked on for air launched munitions. Basically using the rocket motor as a boost engine so an air craft carrying it can launch it much earlier (so extended the range of the glide bomb) that carriers the weapon to specific height and speed on its own before doing an unpowered glide for its terminal phase. Since it would just be a strap on boost motor, it wouldn't add to the complexity of the weapon. So you preserve the cheaper strap on kit nature of current glide bombs. But you could argue if it then is just missile kit rather than glide bomb kit.

Oversimplified, SAM missiles are pretty darn fast, and you generally want to your interceptor missile to be faster than the missile being intercepted.

Probably because it'd require the pilot to keep the front-facing radar to remain pointed to where it can track the incoming SAMs, which means evasion's going to be nearly impossible if the interceptor misses. That and the matter of saturation, since a bunch of trucks on the ground can carry way more missiles than a fighter jet.

As a Russian speaker, I have to say that all pro-Russian community has shitted the UMPK at first, all the criticism that UMPK got was deserved. After some time, one of the engineers that worked for similar project in the 2010s released some parts of documents related to this, opening a new round of discussion about corruption, clientilism, negative-selection and so on. So in the end, all they got was the bomb that was not nearly as good as it should have been in the 2010s. I remember reading a ton of criticism regarding the wings, material used, bomb caliber, bomb holders, tactics regarding how to use the bomb, problems regarding Russian JTACs (ПАН- Передовой Авиа-Наводчик), and on and on. However, in the end we see a constant usage. A lot of people who are related with the army/topic were deeply unsatisfied however, they said that the UMPK was better than nothing. I know that the best course for me would be to provide sources, but I really can not recall which Telegram channels I got all the info. But I can still point out some of them where some amount of discussion was hold, fighter bomber and voenacher. These are pro-Russian channels and I would suggest anybody reading their content to take all of the info with a great amount of salt.

I don't see missiles ever being replaced. Glide bombs are just a more accurate bomb at longer ranges. The missile though is a fast attack method for immediate threats. That will keep them in stock until laser weapons are on fighter jets. Basically all a glide bomb is is a way to save a little money on a guided rocket. Honestly a large chunk of the money for guided armaments isn't even in the armament but in the program used to guide it. You don't need to have the latest and greatest electronics for them and you will be wasting money if you did. So companies make money off the proprietary programming of the guidance system. That is why you can build a computer cheaper than having one custom made. Half the cost is in the right to use the windows program.

The only problem with GBU-39SDB is that in order to reach some decent range, producer sacrifice its payload, so destructive power is very very low, (there are 3 type of warheads available : 93kg (with 16kg of explosive), 62kg and 16kg for Laser SDB (GBU-39B/B) ) Now compare that with FAB-1500M46 UMPK,which is a 1500Kg Bomb with warhead weighting 1120kg and filled with almost of 700kg of explosive !!!

I understand that expediency outweighs aesthetics in times of war, but the Russian approach to glide munitions being a conversion kit made from spare metals in a workshop is a perfect illustration of the gulf in quality, resources and expertise between it and the United States. Some might say “beggars can’t be choosers”, but you would have thought one of the world’s supposed military superpowers would be capable of more effective approaches than crude improvisations.

This is more on the gov being cheap and unwilling to invest more then they want to in a weapon system, side it clear that the Russian have a large surplus of old soviet unguided bombs and due to war time measure and sanction it probably be easier to just due this way then having to source material from an already difficult and costly a microchip from a sanction market

You are talking about economics, not technological ability. Russia obviously isn't an economic superpower like USA or China. If they had 10x the economy as well as manpower they too could "look good" and not rely on ad hoc methods. But everyone in war rely on ad hoc methods. That is war. You use what works. The alternative is dying or not being able to hit back. Time is of the essence.

How far from their recognizable targets are spent UMPK glide bombs found? That should be perfect evidence of how accurate they are. Of course, that means one should establish a broad perimeter and sample all UMPK spent within that perimeter and evaluate the distance from them to military targets in their vicinity. That should get a PhD for somebody at war college.

@moldypotato4656 7 ай бұрын

The UMKP kit is visibly crude in terms of its construction and assembly. The time frame between its first appearance in 2023 and its first confirmed use also suggests its construction was rushed in order to quickly meet the needs of the battlefield in Ukraine. The JDAM and the JDAM-ER are both products of the late 90's and early 00's with many more years of R&D and well-established production lines with purpose-built facilities. Stating the UMKP may not be as well built or as thoroughly tested is not propaganda, it's simply an inference based on available information.
