NATO forward deploys upgraded ‘gravity bombs’ to Europe

1. They’re supposed to be scary for the Russians, right?

   Gravity bombs, in 2025, after three years of drones, glide bombs and rampant improvements in Russian AD, EW and AA tech, trained on fresh live data of all NATO provided systems?

   Expecting anything, much less a brick of a strategic bomber to fly all the way to the target, supposedly over enemy territory, to drop a gravity bomb on top of it, and not encounter R37-M, a 300km+ range, 25km altitude AA missile that flies at mach 6, which is standard issue for Su-39, 35 and 57 as well as Mig-31 and 35 or any of the ground based S300, 400, 500 or any of their variations would be just silly.

   > The NNSA said earlier this month that it had finished refurbishing and extending the life span of its B61-12 bombs, getting another 20 years of use from them.

   So much for [“upgraded”](https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2018/12/f58/B61-12%20LEP%20factsheet.pdf).

   And these people make fun of Russians using T55 tanks.
