The 'smart' bombs have an extended range of around 45 miles.
Once released from an aircraft, a JDAM or JDAM-ER autonomously targets the pre-programmed coordinates, with the JDAM-ER wing kit opening up to allow for its greater range.
But Ukrainian supplies of the JDAM-ERs are not extensive, and they have"enough to do a couple of strikes," Hecker said. The influential Russian"milblogger" community had a"muted response to the announcement" of JDAM-ERs, according to the Institute for the Study of War think tank, which provides detailed daily updates on the Ukraine war.
One Russian commentator voiced"concern" over the JDAM-ERs allowing Kyiv's forces"to launch strikes" against Russian troops without entering Russian airspace, the think tank said on Tuesday. One"milblogger" wrote that Russia's Aerospace Forces have"noticeably intensified" the use of high-precision bombs on Ukrainian forces in the past few days.
