The Finns are not kidding: after the purchase of more than 60 F-35 fighters, they now also buy sliding bombs

Finland has announced the purchase of GBU-53 SDB II glide bombs from the United States for their F-35 fighter jets. The acquisition enhances Finland's ability to strike ground targets under challenging conditions. The deal includes spare parts, documentation, transportation, training, maintenance services, and technical support. The bombs are produced by Raytheon, part of the American defense conglomerate RTX. This follows Finland's earlier purchase of 64 F-35 aircraft valued at $9.4 billion.

Bombe će proizvoditi kompanija Raytheon, koja posluje u okviru američkog odbrambenog koncerna RTX, dok će jedan avion moći nositi više bombi istovremeno

Finska će od Sjedinjenih Američkih Država kupiti klizne bombe GBU-53 SDB II za svoje borbene avione F-35, saopćilo je u četvrtak finsko Ministarstvo odbrane, javlja Reuters .

Ova nabavka donosi novu sposobnost djelovanja po ciljevima na zemlji za finsku flotu aviona F-35 te predstavlja dopunu ranijoj kupovini 64 aviona F-35 od kompanije Lockheed Martin, vrijednoj 9,4 milijarde dolara.

Prema navodima Ministarstva odbrane, GBU-53 SDB II je precizno navođena klizna bomba sposobna da pogađa pokretne ciljeve na srednjim udaljenostima i u nepovoljnim vremenskim uslovima.

Zahvaljujući svojim malim dimenzijama, jedan avion F-35 može istovremeno nositi više bombi SDB II.

Bombe će proizvoditi kompanija Raytheon, koja posluje u okviru američkog odbrambenog koncerna RTX. Paket nabavke uključuje rezervne dijelove, dokumentaciju, transport, obuku, usluge održavanja i tehničku podršku.

Finski ministar odbrane Antti Häkkänen izjavio je da ova kupovina predstavlja novu sposobnost koja jača odbranu Finske „u zahtjevnim uslovima“.
