In a new aid package, Great Britain will provide Ukraine with high-precision Paveway IV aerial bombs. Analogue of JDAM and AASM. The maximum range of the bomb is more than 30 km. Its weight is 230 kilograms. Paveway IV entered service with the Royal Air Force in 2008. Will looks great in the F-16

1. Awesome. Let’s turn Moscow into a Walmart parking lot.

2. This is encouraging. Gloves are starting to come off.

3. As I love the support, but isn’t 30km max range not a bit to short? And make the F-16 prone to AA missles?

4. Paveway IV: This time it’s personal

5. Might be dangerous right now to operate aviation that close to the front lines. Gonna need to use those ATACMS to take out Russian AA before using these… although they have been using JADAM and Hammer already, but I’m not sure in the range of those tbh.

   Wdit: Looks like JADAM range is 24 km, JADAM-ER is 72 km, and AASM is 70 km.

6. Why is the tip pointing down?

7. Hmm! Wikipedia does not give even a hint of range.

8. Range seems to short to really be used without fear of Russian anti air assets. The AASM at least has 50km range. The more the merrier but some longer range stuff would be nice.

   For those wondering about the range. This site has a more detailed spec sheet.
   The range is more determined by the altitude and speed of the plane

10. Shame we sold/scrapped all our old Harriers and Tornadoes.

    I’m sure we have a few spare Eurofighters now the F-35s are up and running 

11. 30 km range, great way to get their final jets shot down.

12. Look the tip, bombs are sad 😢

13. That looks like it would hurt when it hits ya

14. What’s the consensus…..has WW3 already started? Or does it require large scale troop deployment to qualify?
