Now the laser guided part does raise the question, it is not usual for a Laser guided munition to miss its mark unless there is strong wind in the path of the munition. How far do you recon the munition fell away from the target?cir?Do you have to open a new thread for your silly question? please go to chitchat thread and post there!!! mods please note !!!! There is no involvement of GPS here. The target will be illuminated with a laser designator pod and the optical seeker attached to the bomb nose will home in to the illuminated target and glides towards the target!!!
Only 40-60% of Laser or gps guided reached the target in Gulf war, may be they used tageting pod on fighter, which is on move, that has caused this.Now the laser guided part does raise the question, it is not usual for a Laser guided munition to miss its mark unless there is strong wind in the path of the munition.

Either the target was small or sue the manufacturer
only possible options i believe
a very good find OP
I doubt thats the case. If the test was to assess accuracy and level of collateral damage in case of a precision strike in a populated area, it would make more sense to create a crude setup of such a location. Also if you notice the 1st pic, you will see that the munition is set up to hit the target structure. This last second change in direction would suggest that there was a sudden change in wind in speed/direction, leaving the munition without enough time to allow for realignment. Another possibility could be the laser illuminator suddenly changed its point of illumination causing this, though this is less than likelyNowhere is the structure mentioned as a target. It may be a control structure to assess accuracy and level of collateral damage in case of a precision strike in a populated area for all we know.
Bomb seem to have hit at 7-8 o clock 10-15 yds, We can estimate the miss distance from the target size. The miss distance is about 2-3 target sizes.
something like this he just pull up at the last movement still target was hitBomb seem to have hit at 7-8 o clock 10-15 yds, We can estimate the miss distance from the target size. The miss distance is about 2-3 target sizes.
The accuracy is also dependent on the tracking platforms accuracy in keeping the target illuminated precisely all thru the bomb delivery. If the pipper is not kept precisely on the target, such miss takes place alsi it appears to me that pipper was kept on the target rather on top of it. Whenever you put the pipper on target you always get a undershoot hit.
