Accuracy should be comparable to a JDAM (since it uses the same
guidance package). That's not a TLAM, but it is better than a poke
in the eye with a sharp stick.

It's not an accuracy issue. We're back to the 'how do it fly' issue.
Note that the GPS is NOT really intended to allow you to attack land
targets, but rather to do littoral work and use it in crowded
waterways.

Yes, I know. But the fact remains that it will fly to a set of GPS
coordinates and go bang. I call that a limited land-attack capability.


But that's not why we don't have to worry about it.

Fred, if you have a point, please just make it already. This
eliptical BS is getting very tedious.

The point was made over a day ago. The folks buying these are also
buying purpose-built ASMs as part of the packages.

Sorry Fred, I see no sign of such a post in the articles I have received in
this thread. It's possible something didn't make it to me, I suppose. If
it was somewhere in the Israeli thread instead, but I gave up on that one a
couple of days ago.
