@bigbananaman you're astoundingly wrong. there is a difference between missiles and bombs. bombs are free-fall devices that are sometimes equipped with guidance packages to guide them to their target via gliding. missiles are self-propelled guided munitions. and we don't drop bombs from 50 feet because the resulting explosion would likely destroy the aircraft dropping the ordnance. i played with bombs in the Marine Corps for four years- please shut your mouth about that which you know little.
A real concrete bomb is similar to regular bomb, it only has TNT filling replaced with concrete. 500 kg piece of metal and concrete dropped from several km will turn any tank into scrap metal if direct hit is achieved.
It is impressive how a weapon can be described as if it was a game. The boundary between irony and cruelty is weak. On the other hand Shakespeare taught a lot to Bretons about the common root of Comedy and Tragedy. Nevertheless immature, funny, mediatic criminals should be kept away from the global stage.
This is absolutely retarded. The hosts decline to define "effective." Whats the goal, and how can we deliver the energy to the target? do the bombs behave the same mid-air? If not, are the pilots trained in their usage?
1 kg TNT = 4.7 x 10^6 J
650 kg dropped from 20 meters = 0.128 x 10^6 J
So 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of TNT has about 37 times as much energy as this stupid concrete test. And they wonder why their test had less overall damage? Morons.
@bzdenok actually, these concrete bombs, if thrown from say 2000 feet, will be about 3.8 to 4 Megajoules. No plane is going to throw his bomb from 20 meters: any guy with a rocket-launcher can sweep the plane out of the air. These guys can't possibly get a plane to drop a block of concrete on this exact place, since the bombs the military use are armed with laser-guidance. This is pretty much overkill when you take into consideration that the TNT bombs damage the surrounding cars as well.
@rampagepie Concrete bombs, like the ones the French have used in Libya, have the JDAM kits added for guidance, so they're as accurate as their explosive counterparts. It's worth noting that the expensive part of smart weapons is the guidance kit, so they're not significantly cheaper.
@NotAUserToday07 I'm sorry I missed the part where I said they were cheaper. I do not have a good understanding on pricing of said devices, but I can imagine they being the most expensive parts on the bomb. Or did you mean to say that the bombs used in Libya weren't laser guided? I can understand, the source I read might have been from a date prior to the Libyan developments.
I don't get it... Remind me how this chunk of concrete is going to guide itself to the target? Unless you supremely and precisely hovered right above it, I think this is useless. [may I add, a step backwards too.]
@CubeLuda americans strap a JDAM guidance package to a 1000lb inert concrete bomb and guide the bomb in via GPS. the inert bomb won't destroy the buildings around it's target or throw massive amounts of shrapnel into the air. normal 1000lb bombs have about 300lbs of explosive composition in them, and when detonated, these bombs have a very destructive concussive force that will kill you if you are line-of-sight with the bomb out to around 200 yards. pretty cool stuff
Only the British would be that amazed by the Amazing Destructive Potential of dropping a block of concrete on something. What happened to you guys? You used to be such badasses.
you know it's so wonderful making killing a joking matter.
I'd like to see these jokers out in the muck, even a thousand years ago, so they had to fight it out with swords. i just wish the public at large could see the bodies of the war that wages everyday, while you drink your starbucks..... soon the war will come to you...
They uh... They forgot that we aren't going to "drop" them onto the target and certainly not from a very low altitude hover? Bombs like the AGM-65 travel at Mach 0.93 so this has just about nothing to do with concrete bombs and is a more accurate representation of cartoon safe and piano accidents.
@3809940TAA Air to ground missiles are the bombs that we drop these days, the word can be applied, do you really think we're dropping gravity bombs from drones when we bomb insurgents? We can't and shouldn't level large portions of cities any more by carpet bombing with gravity bombs from 50' off the ground. Therefore, practically any bombs dropped are guided missiles.

@BigBananaMan the AGM-65 is an air-to-ground missile. the name even carries the initials of it's use. and it only weighs about 500lbs.
bombs are free-fall or guided devices that fall at terminal velocity. so this is a more accurate representation of you being retarded
