JSow Aircraft that the United States has decided to transmit to Ukraine can be turned into rockets - an analyst

According to the editor -in -chief of Defense Express, there is a variant of JSow modernization in a complete winged rocket. This project was called JSow-Er, which operated in the US from the late 2000s to 2023. JSow planning airlines, which states transmit to Ukraine, can be transformed into a full rocket wing. The editor -in -chief of the Military Portal Defense Express told this on Apostrophe TV.

According to him, the current basic characteristics of JSow ask the question of the reason for their transmission. Yes, the bomb, although called a farm, but can affect the targets at a distance of about 110 kilometers from the reset site. "That is, the aircraft rises to a height of 10-12 kilometers and from this height threw this bomb, and somewhere 110 kilometers it will fly," Katkov explained.

He believes that the aviation of Ukraine cannot rise to such heights, but tries to stay closer to the ground. Aircraft aircraft will be dumped using a special maneuver. "That is, when the aircraft at low altitude approaches the reset area, zooms the nose, makes a" slide "and at the top of this" slide "he makes a reset of aviation ammunition in the form of a planning aviation bomb," he said.

According to him, in such circumstances, the range of JDAM-E, SDB and JSow will be approximately 40 kilometers. "That is why it was a logical question why it is to pass it . . . The Pentagon has never been noticed that he does not pragmatic steps," the expert said. Katkov suggested that there was a variant of JSow modernization in a full rocket wing. This project was called JSow-Er, which operated in the US from the late 2000s to 2023.
