@kavo3 @hanse_mina Not for the Russians.

I understand the Ukrainians are very good at gathering intelligence on enemy troop movements. They presumably have F-16s now and know how to use them. An F-16 can carry four Mk84 bombs. Being anywhere near one of those takes the fight right out of you. It's a relatively inexpensive munition and we have thousands of them. Turn them loose.

Leaves a 50 foot crater. Kill radius is 1000 feet. Quite unforgettable. Observe the shockwave.
