[In 1991 we recorded a 10 FOOT CEP with Paveway kits on dumb bombs.]

In both Gulf wars Coalition aircraft used 1,000 and 2,000-pound laser guided “inert bombs” composed of concrete. These were used against air defense targets in heavily populated areas. These bombs could knock out a mobile antiaircraft vehicle without endangering nearby civilians and property. The fact this ordnance was successfully employed attests to the accuracy of modern targeting.
