@MB-cv5pz

@@philipm3173 There are multiple reasons that may lead to that happening. 1) A bomb is released on a target with a low probability of killing civilians, target moves, and gets close to civilians, bomb can't be stopped, ends up killing both civilians and targets. 2) Civilians aren't spotted when the bomb is dropped. For ex: the early Walleye bombs could be guided with accuracy, because the bomb had a camera in its nose cone and displayed the image to the pilot in his cockpit. That doesn't mean that the camera is capable of spotting civilians next to the target from 15 miles away. Or if a bomb is guided with GPS on a stationary target, the bomber could not have the equipment required to tell if civilians are in the area. 3) Military targets are purposefully using civilians as cover. Certain militaries might decide it is better to kill both civilians and important military targets than to let the target walk away and potentially cause more damage. 4) Bad intel says there are no civilians when there are civilians in the area 5) Or governments don't give a damn and purposefully bomb hospitals and refugee camps. See probably one of the best pieces ever made on this topic (different URL to go around age block) youtube.076.ne.jp/watch?v=rCi-2-Flcxk 6) And the list goes on and on... Do note that I am in no way justifying the bombing of innocent civilians and non-combatants. The fact it happens is appalling, and there is nothing more sickening to me than the unnecessary loss of life. For there to be the death of innocent civilians, there must often be multiple mistakes that have to be made that lead to such an event happening. However, I would rather know how these mistakes are made and inform myself about them, rather than criticizing people and not offering solutions to a problem

@@alduff229 An intelligence team uses georectified satellite imagery to determine exact coordinates in 3 dimensions for each target. Actually, for each desired impact point. As in, they determine exactly which corner or window on each building they want to hit. Those coordinates are then uploaded into a data cartridge that goes into the bomber's mission computer. The bomber's mission computer downloads the coordinates to each bomb independently via data cables that connect each bomb to the aircraft. The bomber has to fly the attack from a specific direction, at a specific speed and altitude (which are also all preprogrammed into the mission data cartridge and used by the pilot for their navigation plan), and the attack computer releases each bomb in sequence at the appropriate timing for optimal trajectory onto their target. The bombs all "know" exactly what location they're supposed to fly themselves to, before the bomber even takes off.

In 1982 the British sent 1 Vulcan bomber to the Falkland Islands to bomb an air field. This required them to use 7 Victor tankers. When the Vulan bombed the runway they hit the runway with one of their bombs. This scrared the Argentinians so much that they moved all their aircraft back to the mainland. One hit out of the whole bomb load. Imagine a B-2 with 80 bombs and all of them hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy. Not a runway but every one hitting a target the size of a car.

The B52 D "high density" package could carry about 148 of these 500lb bombs, on internal clips and two wing-mounted pylons. Of course, they were simple unguided gravity bombs. This system was discontinued in the 70s with the last aircraft being retired in the early 80s, although they keep talking about bringing it back as the platform continues to be used in conventional warfare. It would still not hold as many these days, as the strap-on guidance components of JDAM add a couple of feet to the length of the bomb core.

Small Diameter Bombs are now so incredibly accurate that it makes a lot of sense to drop them on things like vehicles, smaller bunkers, or houses with bad guys surrounded by houses with people that are also probably bad but for political reasons we can't say that publicly. The bombs take up less room and weigh less in the aircraft, so more can be dropped on one mission, and they can be just as effective against targets we used to drop much larger bombs on because of lower accuracy.

Guided munitions are a lot more expensive than the dumb bombs you'd use in a carpet bombing run... but in the end you save money because you only need 1 at this level of accuracy. You are more or less guaranteed to hit your target 99% of the time. And that 1% is still within lethal range of the explosion. Less bombs dropped, less missions needed, less danger to pilots and planes... worth every damn penny we pay for them.

Sadly not nearly as much as you'd think. The bombs are GPS guided, and satellites wouldn't come around for another ten years after WW2, so the JDAM would be a hugely expensive 500lb dumb bomb, with some extra fancy bombing aids to help. If this wasn't the case, a single B-2 could completely level a factory, or a refinery, without fear of being shot back at since it flies so much higher than most any flak gun could reach, and so much faster than anything which could realistically intercept it in the skies

Flying wings have a huge volume inside of them, and because the whole thing is a wing with a tremendous amount of lift, they can really load up on weight, too. Anyway, the racks on the B-2 are modular. Any kind of rank can be used inside them, just depends on the mission requirements. Bombs get loaded onto the rack, rack gets loaded into the plane and connected up to the computers.

Of these targets only the SAM site is a reasonable choice for the B-2. The B-1B can hit all the rest just as well at less then half the cost to perform the mission, faster response time from a forward base, and less mission turnaround time to strike the next target. There are only a small number of B-2 and they each have a finite max flight hour limit so they should be conserved for missions where they are the best tool for the task.

The B-1B has some measures to reduce radar signature to some degree as well although it is not a true stealth aircraft. It has about 2% of the RCS of a B-52 for comparison although the B-2 is likely at least as far beyond the B-1B as it is beyond the B-52. The B-2 is very stealthy but that comes at a high cost to operate it and long delays on the ground between missions to maintain that stealth. Spending time and money on stealth to bomb targets that have no significant air defenses is a waste. Over the last few decades 99% of bombing missions have been against such targets. Operational efficiency in terms of number of missions and cost of those missions is more important than stealth for most real world bombing after the first few days of war. The B-2 and other stealth aircraft are useful but they are most appropriate to use in the early days of a war to gain air superiority and suppress enemy air defenses. After that, while they can still perform missions effectively the extra cost and lower sortie rates make them less than optimal for the task. A limited amount of cost effective and very low maintenance stealth such as by shaping and durable coatings can be used for modern cost effective bombers but such an aircraft does not yet exist. Some sort of replacement for the B-1B that focuses on speed, operational efficiency, and cost and accept more limited stealth would be welcome. It could complement high stealth high cost future aircraft such as the B-21 very well as each would focus on different missions.
