JDAM Bombs in action: Ukraine DESTROYS Russian munition depot

The use of JDAM glide bombs (possibly in the GLSDB version for launching from HIMARS) to destroy, presumably, the command post in Verkhnetoretsky, and located in Donetsk ( 48.061056, 37.773117 ).

Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) are precision-guided bombs that use Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance to hit their targets with high accuracy. JDAMs are typically used against fixed targets, such as buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. They can also be used against moving targets, such as vehicles and ships.

The accuracy of JDAMs varies depending on the specific model and the conditions in which they are used. In general, JDAMs have a circular error probable (CEP) of 5 meters or less when used in clear weather with a good GPS signal. This means that there is a 50% chance that the bomb will land within 5 meters of its target. In poor weather conditions or with a degraded GPS signal, the CEP of JDAMs can increase to 30 meters or more.

JDAMs are considered to be one of the most accurate bombs in the world. Their accuracy makes them a valuable tool for military forces, as they can be used to destroy targets with minimal collateral damage.

Here are some additional details about JDAMs:

They are typically used on unguided bombs, such as the Mk 82 and Mk 84.
They can be used by a variety of aircraft, including fighter jets, bombers, and drones.
They have been used in combat in a number of conflicts, including the Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War.
They are considered to be a relatively inexpensive weapon, with a unit cost of around $20,000.
