Paveway II Delivery Profiles - Intermède
This video shows a real-life targeting pod footage of a level-release Paveway II bombing, following the delivery profile described earlier.
However, there’s a brief but significant anomaly in the sequence.
Can you spot it?
I’m interested in your comments:
What did you notice?
Was anything missed during planning or execution?
What should be improved next time?
As always, your thoughts are welcome!

Wasn't the bomb dropped too late, resulting in a miss because the seeker couldn't capture the laser on time? If this is the case, could the laser have been pointed further than the target to help the bomb acquire the laser then bring back the laser on target? Also, a B-1B briefly obstructed the view. I take this was not intended and somebody said oh shit in the cockpit? Was the lack of proper deconfliction ever debriefed? I heard back in the days of Operation Allied Force, information would not flow easily between various units, even within the same air force. Hopefully things had changed by OEF.
