SCOOP: U.S. officials have devised plans to send Ukraine JDAM kits, equipment that converts unguided munitions into “smart bombs” that can target Russian military positions with a high degree of accuracy, U.S. officials familiar with the matter say.

Anyone familiar with the U.S. wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond knows that JDAMs are a significant battlefield capability. U.S. troops relied upon them to launch airstrikes on insurgents attacking them in relatively close proximity.

U.S. forces put JDAM kits on bombs of many sizes, from reasonably small to 2,000-pounders. They're bolted on and rely in part on GPS.

Whether the JDAM kits are in the next package of weapons going to Ukraine is unclear. Heard conflicting versions of that today. But they are certainly being discussed, I am told.
