F-22 Raptors Drop JDAMs
Vid Caption:
F-22 Raptors assigned to the 90th Fighter Squadron at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska drop Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) as part of an exercise in Guam. The JDAM is a guidance kit that converts existing unguided gravity bombs, or “dumb bombs”, into all-weather “smart” munitions. JDAM equipped bombs are guided to their target by an integrated inertial guidance system coupled with a Global More..Positioning System (GPS) receiver for enhanced accuracy, giving them a published range of up to 15 nautical miles (28 km) from the release point.

The F-22 as a bomber.. There is something it was never designed to do.

Remember the writing on the wall in Iraq about America’s not at war they are at the mall, Marines are at war.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:14 amWell the airforce is not at war and their overpriced equipment is being used like the trophy Porsche or Maserati in the garage of the pretentious nouveau riche. Just who the hell are we trying to impress? OH YEAH NOW I REMEMBER —- IT’S THE RUSSIANS and man do we ever have their attention.
