Historical description and application:

The GBU-38 JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) bomb is an advanced American guided bomb system, which is a modification of the classic 500-pound Mark 82 bomb. Thanks to modern GPS/INS guidance systems and additional thermal shielding, the GBU-38 can be used in demanding combat conditions. Bombs of this type were widely used during military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 21st century, providing precise strikes on strategic targets while minimizing collateral damage. The period of use includes modern times (from the beginning of the 21st century to the present), and the bomb is used by numerous air forces worldwide.
