This is a waste and completely un-necessary.

Gaza is so small that they can cover the whole thing with mortars.

Instead they get glide bomb kits that cost 150K each with a range of 100 miles.

This is like using a ferrari to deliver pizza.

***************************************************

One “smart” fighter with a laser designator, one “dumb” fighter with a few bombs. Target is a bridge with a few pylons to hold it up.

Smart says “Drop one, count two, drop two.” Smart designates target one, bomb one hits pylon, swings laser to pylon two, bomb two follows laser reflection, hits pylon two. Bridge down. Go home. “It’s Miller Time”.

CEP feet. Beats a mass gaggle that may not bring the target down.

Southeast Asia, 1972-1973.

And the hardware has improved.

Now - About that tunnel entrance....

That’s great, except there are almost no bridges in Gaza, but there are thousands of reinforced concrete buildings.

Using a Jdam or a spice at $150K to blow a tunnel entrance where there are a bunch more entrances and exits - and the civilians can dig out the entrance within a few days...
