The SAA show the pilot a photograph, or at times mark the target by hand, smoke, or a gasoline bomb, they run back. If it is a school or something, the SAA may not be that close. A fixed wing aircraft may follow up on a school. <br /><br />If there are radio intercepts, for a target that could require a meeting. There is a shortage of working facsimile equipment. The SAA may not be local either. They don't always use proper names for geography.Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024997380441749707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-9474618650200562472013-06-17T07:55:06.561-07:002013-06-17T07:55:06.561-07:00Would the bomb really fall "straight down&quo...Would the bomb really fall "straight down"? You cannot cancel-out inertia with the shape of a bomb.

If you ...Here's the thing about a barrel bomb. If you want to drop a bomb accurately from a plane, you have to come in very, very low, and in order to avoid ground fire, you need to go very, very fast, which makes accurate bombing, difficult.<br />So the Syrians have actually come up with a fantastic idea that is actually much more accurate, and less likely to go wide, miss the target, and hit an innocent.<br />How is this more accurate? It looks very primitive, but it's actually accurate down to 10 ft!<br /><br />here's how they do it. They build the bombs out of big pipes, that are round, heavy, and not affected by cross-winds...the shape of the bomb allow it to fall straight down. <br /><br />During a bombing run, the commander on the ground will determine the location of the enemy using GPS. The commander relays the GPS coordinates to the pilot. The Pilot flies to a safe altitude, from which he can hover into position, using a hand held GPS, directly over the target.<br /><br />Once the pilot is directly over the target, and stationary...the bomb is dropped.<br /><br />The bombs have a detonator which ignites the explosives on contact. the fuses are lit as a back-up, in case the contact detonator fails, the fuse will make sure the thing goes off, and doesn't become a suicide bomb, or a road side bomb.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220187108314168158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-5685929614644753452012-10-27T12:55:33.476-07:002012-10-27T12:55:33.476-07:00It's a extra fuel tank.It's a extra fuel tank.Brown Moseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562126209980810351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-16360916598521252822012-10-27T09:47:18.940-07:002012-10-27T09:47:18.940-07:00Is the giant yellow barrel a bomb as well or an ex...Is the giant yellow barrel a bomb as well or an extra internally carried fuel tank?Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415913167048615090noreply@blogger.com
