US military’s quest for a relatively cheap but destructive anti ship weapon seems to be progressing well.
The U.S. Air Force has announced the successful test of a modified 500-pound-class GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), adapted for anti-ship roles under its Quicksink program.
Notably, the service had previously demonstrated a 2,000-pound-class Quicksink variant. This new lighter version could provide a more cost-effective option, allowing bombers and tactical aircraft to carry a greater number of munitions per sortie while retaining the ability to effectively target enemy vessels.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how latest QUICKSINK munition would enable US military take down adversary’s naval armada?
