⚡Destroyed enemy artillery reconnaissance complex 1K148 “Yastreb-AV”
⚫️ While conducting reconnaissance in the Southern direction, the BpAK crew of the 73rd Maritime Center of the SOF discovered the artillery reconnaissance complex 1K148 “Yastreb-AV”
⚫️ SOF operators together with a friendly unit of the Defense Forces of the 140th ORB adjusted HIMARS fire on the enemy target
⚫ As a result of fire damage, the enemy’s “Yastreb-AV” complex was destroyed
For reference: “Yastreb-AV” is considered the most modern Russian radar complex, which is used for reconnaissance of artillery firing positions. With the help of radar, he is able to track the trajectory of the enemy’s missiles and calculate the exact coordinates of the positions of his artillery. This data is transmitted to the artillery for defeating the positions.
That’s like saying we should just say fighter jets are planes. While it’s true, it’s not accurate enough to be informative in most scenarios.
Bombs include a lot of subvariants e.g. glide bombs, GPS guided bombs, etc.
Dumb bomb is a correct term, but if you prefer, a less colloquial version would be unguided bomb/ordinance.
Think about it, if a bomb is entirely reliant on its launching mechanism for targeting, and unable to adjust itself ones it’s been deployed, it’s dumb.
It’s dumb because it’s a quick and easy descriptor to easily differentiate it from the capabilities inherent to smart bombs, or guided munitions.
