N.Korea Developing Satellite-Guided Bomb
North Korea is developing a new precision-guided bomb, similar to the U.S.' GPS-guided joint direct attack munitions or JDAMs, the military here believes."We expect that the North will finish development of a new precision-guided bomb in the near future because we've detected signs that the North has been conducting tests for a few years now," a military source here said. Military authorities say they detected signs of a fighter jet dropping the new bomb over a testing ground in North Korea's Hwanghae Province this year. The JDAM is a GPS-guided bomb with a range of 28 km and alleged accuracy of about 13 m. The North's new bomb is believed to have a range of some 10 km.
