Return to Military Photos Index Two JDAMs At Once on the Same Target
In Iraq, a JDAM explodes as another, headed for the same aiming point, plunges into the dust and rubble. A common tactic with JDAMs GPS guided bombs is to drop two bombs on the same target, releasing the second as quickly as possible after the first. Sometimes this is done to make sure a vital target gets taken out, in case there is a malfunction ( about ten percent of the time there is a fuse or guidance system failure.) At other times, two JDAMs are dropped one after another in order to reach a target underground. The second bomb will go into the crater created by the first, and the blast will dig a little deeper.

The second JDAM is visible at the top of the photo. Nothing like a two-fer.

It looks like there is a person stnding just to the right of what is left of the building. That makes the panels of concrete flying about very large, like 20'x20'.
There won't be much left after the second one!

No picture and link doesn't work. What did you do wrong? Nothing. if you copy the link from "properties" on the red X and go there, not only does the picture show up but the red X goes away.
