  1. Seems like we got a lot of videos of GBU/HAMMER drops these days – means Ukrainains have a steady stream of these precision weapons (meanwhile, in Orcland, it’s only KAB junk). Good.

  4. Great. Summer time. Hammer time. Hammer them hard. 💙💛🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦👍👍

  5. Very good precision munition with in the best case accuracy less than one meter..and deadly. This is 250 kilogrammes munition. There is 1000 kilos for Rafale. Being sold to many countries.

    100.000 $ us a piece…

    The AASM “Hammer” is a family of precision-guided air-to-ground munitions developed and produced primarily by Safran Electronics & Defense, with key industrial partners such as SAMP for bomb bodies and Eurenco for explosive filling. This modular weapon system was conceived to provide the French Air Force and Navy with a highly flexible strike capability, equipping platforms such as the [**Rafale**](https://armyrecognition.com/military-products/air/fighter/rafale-dassault) and [**Mirage 2000D**](https://armyrecognition.com/military-products/air/fighter/mirage-2000d) with precision effects in all weather and terrain conditions.

    The AASM stands out for its modularity and advanced guidance suite. The standard kit transforms conventional Mk.82, Mk.83, or Mk.84 general-purpose bombs into smart stand-off weapons by adding a range extension kit and multi-mode guidance. Operators can select between GPS/INS-only guidance, GPS/INS combined with semi-active laser homing for moving targets, or GPS/INS coupled with an infrared seeker for high-value, heat-emitting targets. This versatility gives crews a tactical edge against diverse threats, especially in scenarios requiring reduced collateral damage or engagements against relocatable assets.

    To increase operational reach, the Hammer family includes a rocket booster variant that extends the range up to 80 kilometres, allowing aircraft to launch strikes from outside many short-range air defence envelopes. The most advanced version, the AASM Hammer XLR, integrates a micro-turbojet engine that propels the munition beyond 150 kilometres, giving French and allied forces a true deep-strike option without needing dedicated cruise missiles. This unique propulsion feature clearly differentiates the Hammer from comparable U.S. JDAM kits, which generally lack an integral stand-off booster or jet propulsion.

    Haute couture..High fashion….

  6. What’s important is the Russians are enjoying these French baguettes served fresh.

  7. Well, those guys not observing anything anymore, except maybe how to get out of the crater/s left by the Hammer, that is if still alive.
