Also, if we had done it your way, we would never have had the GBU-28 deployed in time to save lives in Gulf I.
Time to “go through standard channels” and “standard development for MilSpec” for a new GBU = seven years or so.
Time to improvise and use off the shelf components to get a superpenetrator bomb to the war zone - seventeen days.
yup - and had the GBU-28 not worked, the downside would have been??
Zip.
(BTW, I worked the Nellis Range complex when they tested that brute)
I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
Have fun with the family this weekend, it may be the next thing taxed!
