US press: The White House notified Congress of the transfer of a batch of precision-guided bombs to Israel

The United States plans to supply the Israeli Defense Forces with a batch of precision-guided Spice bombs for bombing the Gaza Strip. The Wall Street Journal writes about this.

According to the American publication, the White House has already sent a notification to the US Congress about the potential transfer of guided glide bombs to Israel in the amount of $320 million. Interestingly, the Americans want to supply Israel with precision-guided munitions developed by the Israeli company Rafael. It turns out that, as part of the agreements, the US subsidiary of the company transfers the bombs to its head office in Israel, from where they will go into service with the Israeli army.

Spice is a controlled planner aviation a bomb with an inertial control and guidance system, including GPS, TV or thermal imaging guidance at the final stage of flight. The homing head used has a wide viewing angle, and image scanning takes place offline. Bombs of this family can hit targets at ranges from 60 to 125 km (information varies), the accuracy of hitting the target (AC) is less than 3 meters, the probability of hitting is 95%. The bomb can store up to 100 targets in its memory and can be retargeted mid-air by the strike fighter crew.

Earlier, the White House called on Israel to use what was transmitted by the Americans weapon according to the "laws of war".

Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force continues to strike Gaza City, virtually leveling it to the ground. Although the command of the Israel Defense Forces has sent units into the Gaza Strip, they do not enter the city itself, fighting on the outskirts. Presumably, Israel is afraid of too many casualties during urban fighting, so they will continue to bomb Gaza.

What does it sound like... Spice and the Gaza Strip

The United States is openly fueling the conflict; we need to be proactive and sell Iran modern air defense systems. The Israel-US tandem will not stop swallowing Palestine.

This is of course great (FAB with UMPC), but to use them you need two mandatory things:
- aviation carriers capable of using these weapons massively (and without massive use, any of the most remarkable weapons is useless/ineffective),
- aviation means of gaining air supremacy to ensure the possibility (the very possibility) to use these means on a massive scale.
But Iran is still rather weak with this. Especially if it needs to be used against Israel and the United States. And Iran is unlikely to achieve parity in modern combat aviation on its own. Even with the help of external supplies of such aircraft. Here scale and numbers are already important... It is not for nothing that Statistics is the queen of sciences.
The only way to bypass this incident and gain the ability to use such ammunition is to use such FABs with UMPC as ... a payload for some kind of rocket artillery. As the United States did, installing similar UPS on the Hymars accelerating booster. It would be advisable for Iran to take care of such means.
As for the objects/targets of the fire impact of such (or any other) ammunition, the key targets need to be selected - those on which the regional advantage of the Israeli army rests - on its combat aircraft. So, naturally, the highest priority targets for fire on Israel are the airfields where their aircraft are based. Depriving Israel of their technical and strategic advantage will equalize the chances of success in the ground confrontation. It was precisely to insure Israel against such a fate (to find itself on an equal footing on the battlefield) that the United States brought its attack aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean.
And an attempt to counter enemy aircraft with air defense means is a passive tactic, where the enemy, who has air supremacy, will always have the initiative.
In the meantime, one can only envy the IDF aviation - their capabilities for the “unlimited” use of high-precision attack bombs, when the massive use and accuracy form a certain synergy. . . It’s true that their opponents were preparing for a similar situation... the question is who prepared them, for what purpose and to what result is this whole farce leading. . . I am afraid that Israel has every chance of ceasing to exist in the next few years. Because the war of attrition this time is unlikely to be won if a broad anti-Israeli coalition is created. But that’s where everything is heading.
...And the US will not take out support...
And Europe will choke in its own DeRm and blood under the hooves of new barbarians...
Therefore, the question for Netanyahu is: who turned off the control systems and opened the border, removing security from it? Who prepared Hamas for this suicidal adventure? What are the plans of England and the democrats controlled by them in the USA for this region? And what is the fate of Israel itself in these plans?
In the meantime, the consumption of expensive precision-guided ammunition in Gaza is simply amazing. How long will it last? And what will happen if there are more opponents, and each of them is stronger than Hamas?
Nuclear weapon ?
Israel has a lot of it.
But the Islamic World also has it. As well as the means of its delivery.
But I would not want the state of Israel to disappear under nuclear strikes and under the cameras of onlookers with phones.

It sounds like there won’t be a single building left in the sector.

In words, the United States is convincing Israel's neighbors not to support Hamas, but in reality it turns out that the United States is striving for Israel's neighbors, and especially Iran, to start a war with Israel so that the United States and NATO countries will bomb Iran and plunge it into a medieval state.

is not a fact,
it would be sad for the USA if
у full-fledged fanatics from the IRGC suddenly there will be available PGRK with ICBMs with nuclear warheads of 1 MT each
just like the technologically backward DPRK
It will be very hot in California

Last week, members of the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly supported a bill proposed by the REPUBLICANS to allocate $14,3 billion in aid to Israel.
An interesting point - THIS weapon was requested by Israel before October 7!

[tralflot1832]

I see his envious, upset look at these bombs. Past the cash register, otherwise he would have resold them to Israel.

The plywood marshal has no less reason for envy. In this case, I agree with him.

Really very cool gadget!
In the Russian Aerospace Forces there would be such. The Dnieper bridges could have been destroyed in 5 minutes.

So they would put a camera from the lancet product 53 on the UMPC, which can automatically capture the target.

[Romario_Argo]

there is no goal of destroying bridges across the Dnieper
there are goals for the prompt destruction of reserves of NATO countries and the Armed Forces of Ukraine on LBS
and for this we need bridges - by the way, we will also need bridges later

In Russia they prefer rough processing with a file. In this case we see FAB 500 with UMPC, but polished to a shine and with a reduced warhead to 250

How can the FAB 500's warhead be reduced to 250 kg?

Don't know. But the Israelis succeed. They probably forgot to turn off the polisher.

[Romario_Argo]

The Russian Aerospace Forces also have a FAB-1500 with a UMPC with 1000 kg of explosives
destructive power exceeds any cruise missiles and OTRK

Don’t talk nonsense, the Russian Aerospace Forces currently use UPAB-500, UPAB-1500 and UPAB-250 (regular FAB-250 with the UMPC module). Nobody cut or circumcised anything for anyone.
And to be honest, I would like to see the FAB-100 with UMPC, because for many purposes such power is quite enough, but the aircraft will be able to take much more of such ammunition.

The VKS has a sufficient assortment of bombs. It's all about the presence of iron in the eggs and the eggs themselves from the grandmother, who keeps pretending to be the grandfather.

In appearance, it’s done very neatly, beautifully I would say

[ZovSailor]

So I have to say,
according to the deep state Jewish lobby
The Yankees will continue to be supplied with weapons
related by blood and continue the false policy
in relation to all states of the world in financial interests
several pot-bellied wallets, most often found in America
and other warm and comfortable regions of the world.

[Ross xnumx]

I don’t care about all the ins and outs of the Americans transferring bombs to Israel...
I simply imagined a situation where Russia would supply weapons to a country at war with the United States.
The mattresses would be consumed by bile.

[APASUS]

Some peacekeepers transfer weapons to other peacekeepers to exterminate civilians.
Well, just a peacekeeping operation......

[rotmistr60]

The White House called on Israel to use the weapons transferred by the Americans according to the “laws of war”

It’s already funny, especially from the Americans. But such an “appeal” may work for a certain part of the public, and the Americans themselves can always be told that they warned, but were not listened to.

[voyaka uh]

They are not needed for Gaza.
And they will be useful against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

[igorbrsv]

This is some kind of nonsense. There is no air defense in the sector, and its size is 40 km by 6-12 km. A logical question is - who will be bombed with bombs planning up to 125 km?

[Netwallker]

"Dear colleagues, dear friends" Russian Foreign Ministry.

Who cares - the state budget, of course. This is a great drinking party that can be arranged. We even have an old saying - “to whom is war, and to whom is mother.”

Why the hell do the Iranians need this? Moreover, according to rumors, the Xir owns half of the business in the country, and everything is already in trouble

[ASM]

The Tsakhalovites are trampling along the outskirts and suffering losses, while the states are carrying bombs. Has Zelebobik yet had a heart attack? After all, razing a city to the ground is a huge waste of ammunition, which the outskirts can no longer even dream of.

Have you confused this with the Russian army?

You have delusions of grandeur: the Russian Federation and Israel have their own agreements, apparently without taking into account the interests of your kind. Sadness!

Stirlitz, why are you declassifying yourself: you are giving away secret secrets of the USA and Israel, which you became aware of through the nature of your secret intelligence. missions under the table in the Oval Office of the White House...
