IAF purchases advanced 'smart bombs'
By YAAKOV KATZ

The Israel Air Force has purchased a new and advanced JDAM smart bomb with a laser-targeting system that will improve the IAF's ability to accurately hit fast-moving targets. According to an Israeli Defense Ministry official, the order was placed earlier this summer for over 100 LJDAM (Laser Joint Direct Attack Munition) kits. The JDAM is a low-cost guidance kit that converts existing unguided, or "dumb," free-fall bombs into guided "smart" weapons. The JDAM kit consists of a tail section that contains a Global Positioning System and body improvements for additional stability and lift. The laser version of the JDAM adds a laser seeker to the nose of the JDAM-equipped bomb which improves its ability to accurately engage moving targets. The first LJDAMs were delivered to the United States Air Force in 2008.

Those new "smart bombs" will come in handy in if Israel strikes Iran.
