I heard from a little birdie that the smart bombs have been reconfigured to as small as 100lbs of HE. Targeting confidence is so good that there's no longer a need to send a 500lb bomb to do a 100lb bomb's job.

100lb bombs doing the work 500lb bombs won't do.

There's even talk of smart "bombs" without explosives at all.

Imagne a 100lb or 500lb iron slug/penetrator hitting a tank from 10,000 feet. Does the damage and almost no collateral damage.
