JDAM-ER is smaller it has 75KM range.
Plus 75km is still well within range of an S300 or S400, so they still cant get the aircraft close enough to drop them on Russian equipped troops without a very high probability of losing the aircraft.
even if they could designate a target, which they cant, because no gps fix, and no way to communicate it to the aircraft even if they read it off a physical map.
problem with NATO weapons is they are all mostly "offensive" - i.e. designed to attack an enemy that cant fire back with more than small arms. They require air superiority to be effective. there is no way to achieve air superiority vs modern russian military aviation.

Prove that they returned home and aren't dead. Official statements are not fact. Coming from Russia, they're most likely propaganda bullshit.

So you are saying you entrenched troops are over 1.5 km into the ground??? Lot of ways the USA has not been giving Ukraine the good stuff.

JDAM-ER on russian made aircraft cannot communicate. Things change once you have a f16 or equal in the mix. Yes the f16 can be used as control point for missiles it did not even fire. There are a lot of limitations that can go away.

Testing against different deference is another reason why for gliding bombs USA did not go bigger. Bigger equaled the Gepard and it class of weapons being able to turn the gliding bombs into air-burst because not enough rounds in the air to overload the defense.. Many smaller rounds at a single target is more likely to make it in a true heavy multi layer air defense area.
Russian aircraft dropping fabs have been falling fowl of mobile patriot systems because they are getting too close as well.

Yes Nato has had problem of upgrading the offensive shiny weapon not the boring but very important defensive weapons,
Nato arms industry have designed a lot of very good defense weapons but have had their governments going these old weapons we have on storage are good enough. Very much like the Russian problem. No point having a stockpile of weapons that are no longer as effective as they need to be.
Yes Nato is dumping lots of equipment like old nsam2 to Ukraine while they replace them with the new Nsam3 that have the proper range.
It would help Ukraine a lot if it was not being given all the hand me downs. So its not that NATO is mostly offensive its more NATO has not spent the money they should upgrading their weapon systems this is both defensive and offensive, This battle would have looked very different if all the airdefence given to Ukraine had been upgraded to where they should have been.

contrary to what the propaganda claims, and is happening to the ukrainians that are getting dragged off the street, russian conscripts are not used for direct conflict, they are used for logistics/construction/policing - stuff that doesnt need years of hard physical and mental training.and expensive equipment. Have you got a single piece of evidence that there were a meaningful number of casualties in those roles? (besides "official statements" - which we both agree contain a high degree of bullshit)
Plus that is not an "official statement", its a legal decree that orders them home, if they didn't come home it would be front page news on cult of epstein media. It's not, so they did. The best Ive seen the BBC could muster was a Russian graveyard they claimed was for Russian KIA, that was smaller than ours for covid victims.Last edited by mSparks; 07 November 2024, 12:16 AM.

jdam is not, they tried it, it failed and was abandoned, like I said, m7* has good unbiased videos on this.https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/11/03/australia-donates-retired-jdam-er-precision-bombs-to-ukraine/Australia has referenced supplying "air-to-ground precision munitions" to Ukraine on two occasions, without specifically naming JDAM-ERs.
There are more than 1 version of the JDAM ER control system. The Jdam the Australian had were inertial guidance only. There is a big catch you need a f16 or better fighter aircraft to use them.
mSparks firing from Russian made aircraft limits the modes and types of JDAM ER controllers that can be used. The video you have is about GPS guided JDAM not the inertial guidance ones.
Yes inertial guidance one give a serous middle finger to GPS jamming and spoofing. Of course inertial guidance jdam er need the fighter aircraft firing them to be able to give them correct starting location and correct offset from that location to target. This can be given solved a few different ways as well.
December 2023 is when ukranine stop using only GPS guided JDAM ER completely but they have been using inertial guidance JDAM ER all year. Yes required russia jets to have a upgrade mounting solution.
Plans to give Ukraine JDAM-ERs with new seekers come as Western precision-guided munitions are reportedly suffering from Russian GPS jamming.
Yes another fun point of JDAM ER is the change seeker module.
JDAM ER is part of a USA series of weapons that share the same seeker module, So seeker module can be mass produced. Yes JDAM ER with the right seeker module can in fact hit a moving target.
This is what makes JDAM ER class of weapons hard to deal with. You do a stunt that messes with a JDAM ER replace a 1/4 kg part with upgrade version and what you were doing is now useless.
Yes if you had a drone lazer painting target and access to the lazer seeker module for JDAM and others......
mSparks basically Russia has not bricked all the JDAM weapons. Ukraine was not given the JDAM ER will the full collection to seekers to use some of this was the caused by the limited integration when on Russian aircraft. F16 opens up the seekers the JDAM ER can use. This include ones that connect to the USA tactical data net.
All JDAMs can be the one of the following.
1) GPS guide only(yes suxs if jammed)
2) inertial guidance only(requires western aircraft) to give start location direct connection to aircraft. Does not work with adapter to russian aircraft..
3)GPS guide with inertial running in combination. Configuration here important what one is dominate and when. This can be quite jam resistant these also support direct connection to aircraft and with direct connected to aircraft can have the GPS bit disabled while in flight.
4) GPS guide with inertial running in combination with data link.
5) Laser targeting with GPS guide with inertial running in combination with data link.
6) Radar targeting used for targeting ships with GPS guide with inertial running in combination with data link.
All the ones with data link could be fire off russia aircraft with a F16 or other Weston aircraft updating it current location mid flight. Note the problem no weston aircraft 2, 4 ,5, 6 are not usable.
Yes that all the ones the USA have documented so far. And there is more.
Version 5 the laser designation device could be placed on a long range drone. There is a vertical takeoff and landing drone Ukraine has been given recently than can dot he designation role.
mSparks like it or not JDAM ER is analogue to the FAB bombs. Of course the problem here is JDAM ER is not single weapon instead it a customizable platform. Russia has managed to jam and mess up at least half the JDAM ER that can be used by Russian aircraft alone. But that less than 1/6 of the types of JDAM ER that exist.
First generation JDAM ER were GPS only without a replaceable seeker module. Yes to change the seeker module with first generation on this is strip the complete kit off and put a new kit on. These were coming up on end of life so these were given in volume to Ukraine. Inertial guidance only is second generation same with GPS and internal guidance. Everything second generation and newer in the JDAM ER uses the same seeker module connection so this is replaceable to upgrade targeting and the like. just by taking the nose off and putting a new nose on..
mSparks this is a case the USA has not been giving Ukraine the good stuff.

about the only Russian weapon that has had some struggles is the FAB3000 - and that is more about the lack of aircraft equipped to carry it and the complexity of guiding such heavy munitions, and even its still proven more than capable of flattening the desired city block when deployed.
plus you are still ignoring krasnopol as an analogue, the only similar western system to that is still on the US armies wish list, the last prototype failed catastrophically.Last edited by mSparks; 07 November 2024, 03:07 AM.

Scared of facts?
You're in no position to talk, you brainwashed brainlet. If you are going to bitch about something the EU or UN did, make sure your pathetic regime leads by example first by showing how free and open it is.
Until then everything you say and believe has zero value. We call this "eye for an eye", or "fighting fire with fire".
Oh look at this gem at the bottom:
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Grow the fuck up.Last edited by Weasel; 07 November 2024, 01:29 PM.
