Ukraine has codified several domestically developed guided aerial bombs, including turbojet-powered variants capable of extending strike range by up to 200 kilometers
Line between guided bomb with an engine, cruise missile, and autonomous aeroplane-kamikaze (guided artillery shells with engines as well) is pretty thin. Might be that any weapon with time converges into cruise missile. 🙃
All weapons converge towards missiles. All living things converge towards crabs.
Or as Albert Einstein famously put it: “I do not know what weapons world war 3 will be fought with, but world war 4 will be fought by crabs armed with missiles.”
For me, sticking wings and a turbofan on a guided bomb moves it into the cruise missile category, but whatever.

Wise words. 🤔🤔
An age old question - are these still the munitions of Theseus?
