Does the Air Force have exclusive use of 2000 lb JDAM bombs? It seems to me, an ignorant civilian, that the Navy, being the Navy and all, is more likely to be in the vicinity of ships that need sinking than the land-based Air Force.
But a B2 bomber can get into range of whatever needs sinking, anywhere in the world, faster than a surface ship can get there.
And a Falcon rocket, launched from the US, can get there even quicker.
The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a joint U.S. Air Force and Department of Navy program.
So it is weird the article only mentions it being used on Air Force jets. Either the original press release said that or perhaps the author didn’t do much research.
