Smart Bombs
They were showing the evolution of the smart bomb and the accuracy of which it was used during desert storm.
One thing they boasted was that although only 19% of the bombs used in Iran were actually smart bombs, they were accountable for 75% of successful military hits. A pretty impressive stat !
Then I thought of the flipside, if 10% were accountable for 75% of the successful hits, then that in turn would mean that 90% of the bombs used were accountable for only 25% of the successful military targets being hit! Or a 75% failure/miss rate! "oooops sorry sir, one in four is good !"
That's a lot of misses isn't it?
