Why the U.S. Is Sending Spice Bombs to Israel | WSJ Equipped

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Spice guidance kits, being sent to Israel by the U.S., attach to 1,000 or 2,000 pound “dumb” bombs, turning them into precision guided munitions. The goal of guidance kits like Spice and JDAMs is to enhance accuracy while minimizing non-combatant casualties. As Israel continues to target Hamas, concerns of civilian casualties in Gaza remain a critical issue.
WSJ explains how Spice kits work and the benefit of the IDF using this weapon attachment in Gaza.

You showed a picture of "fallen unexploded dumb bomb" - but it was a 370 gallon jettison fuel tank...
lol oh those " little " details
Sounds like something Ukraine could use.
First, the Ukrainians need air control.
They do
Россия давно использует такие управляемые бомбы 1,5 тонн против Украины . Украина плачет из-за таких бомб России. 😀😀😀
Not really. ukraine doesn't use too many aviation dropped bombs.
The thing is, the jet has to get pretty close (in the grand scheme of the battlefield) to the target the bomb is hitting. In the current stage of the war that is focusing on defense, the Ukrainian air force would be challenged to operate so close to Russian air defenses.
In Israel's case these are extremely valuable since the area they are fighting in is only slightly bigger than New Jersey, meanwhile Ukraine is the size of half the US and has to cover much more air space.
Israel has cooperated with Ukraine in the past, such as letting Ukraine domestically produce Israeli firearms and Israel donating Mitznefet helmet covers to Ukraine, but right now with a risk of a large scale war erupting on Israel's northern border, Israel has to prioritize their own security first.
Unfortunately these types of bombs would not work very well for Ukraine at the moment. What they need is artillery shells and long distance cruise missiles.
In the future smart bombs would be a good addition to the Ukrainian arsenal but, as of now, they wouldn't be useful.
Nah they just wanted to name it spice

Flattening makes strategic sense when you enter a city with troops. Especially if you warn the population to leave before that

@@zacrielus7157 It does; that's why the responsible parties will be held accountable. The difference is one crime is being committed by a terrorist group and another by a government. In the global stage, a crime being committed by a government representing a State is very serious due to the systematic nature of its action. You will find out very soon what the consequences are for the actions being taken by the Government of Israel.
Because that Hamas leadership are caowerds
It’s almost like voting in a terror organization in Gaza has consequences, how weird
I think you're getting mixed up between GBU and the spice missile
Spice is Israeli-made
Incredible tech, but let's hope for peace soon 🕊️
with al the pain, it is only 12000 - take into account that the Iranian army uses 2.1Million civilians as human shield
If not the Israeli technology, we could see in Gaza numbers like in Syria
Once Palestinian accept peace they will have peace
@@BaKa-rm3vt Absolutely true. If Israel wanted to kill civilians, the numbers would be in the hundreds of thousands to close to a million civilian deaths.
Israel simply wants to get their citizens that were taken hostage back, and destroy Hamas as an organization so that it can never threaten the peace both in Israel and Gaza again.
@@s6edge706 you mean 12000 time bomb diffused in advance?
@@coconut_water0707get help. Those are kids. The more Israel is fighting and killing the more reason people have to join hamas. But that is what Netanyahu whants.
When you watch WSJ's video @0:10 you think the USA is giving Israel these SPICE bomb kits. Rafael is an Israeli company, it has a branch in the US that gives Americans jobs. Rafael US is sending Rafael IL the kits. Media would have you think that US is kindly giving Israel bombs instead of Israel giving Americans jobs. At least in this case.
US gives Israel billions of dollars in Aid, Israel gives US some jobs.
So this company is giving it away for free?
America paid for the bombs and its being transfered as part of an aid packet. Your right, Israel is giving the American arms manufatures jobs by leading a genocide against the local polulation increasing the global demand for shells. Isreali crimes wont be forgotten, and this is just another lie to make Isreal out to be a victim.
The US has been giving Israel $4 billion in military aid every year for many years. Biden wants to give Israel another $14 billion for its war in Gaza.
@@akino1692No this is called an exchange. This is how healthy relationships work.
how? these so many consumer electronic products can be improvised for military use anytime
The other way around. GPS was originally a military tool.
People who make bombs, "how do you sleep at night?".
Do smart bombs mean no more innocent deaths ? I mean the guided bombs still cause collateral damage in an area full of homes and buildings
Ask the terrorists who hide behind human shields and use urban locations for their base of operations. Does the US army have munitions stored around NYC or nearby neighbourhoods?
no, but war is a dirty affair. listen I don't believe in a death penalty, its barbaric in my opinion plus its better to 10 murders be free rather then punish a single innocent, atleast then the innocent might be concepted for their time taken.
but their acceptable civilian causalities, Israel has its problems, although frankly I personally not against a one state solution with in them charge anymore. to expect perfection, is silly. what you should expected is that country like Israel should exclusively use smart munitions when launching such things. they have no excuse not too.
This isn't really a case of Authoratian Utiltarnism. I don't jknow just kind of Self evident. a country take all reasonable measures to prevent causalities among both their own and foreign civilians, giveing warning and time to evaculate, smart muntions, etc etc. this does make proctoring a war against an asymmetrical force difficult. Most of this is done pretty by the books. Civilian Casulties why higher then they morally should be (0), are realistically very low for what one would expect of siege of a city and its hinterlands. nothing is going to be perfect, a bullet will go through wall too.
its just self evident, like. if you belived they were targeting civilinas, I'd personally disagree but then you would have a reasonable thing to be mad at but I don't understand your pov. like what do expect, I know asking "what do you expect" is often a sort of rhetorical phrasing, but genuinely I am asking. how to expect war to be fought?
@@shuki1 Ask The Other terrorist Who keeps bombing one of the densest cities in the world and utilising Collective punishment. Gaza is a small place yk?
Blame Hamas.@@liability443
America just wants to test the new weapons on people of Gaza. This is not for reducing civilian casualties.
SPICE is Israeli
Haven't the IDF been using jdam kits in many cases which are functionally the same? This isn't new.
Spice is optical plus inertial and GPS, JDAM is inertial and GPS only, Paveway is Laser spot tracking I think current ones are 4th generation first used to drop Major railway bridges in North Vietnam in 1970"s.
They can be used on unloaded concrete filled MK84 casings or a similar shape with snap out steel blades for no explosive single target kill device already done with some smaller missiles. Lots of options depending on what parts fit what bomb casings.

no to ethnic cleansing
A bit too late wouldn't you say, when the causalities on civilians are already high before and since oct 7th.
Finally someone explaining this to everyone!
You had the whole thing wrong, it's not for Gaza, it's for Lebanon. you don't need precision kits for Gaza because the skies are completely free of enemy, Lebanon - it's an entirely different story.
"Could still pose a serious risk"... Are you F'ng kidding??

LOL, so the WSJ just now learned about JDAMS from "Gulf War I?... good job.
Ahhh they will make zero difference in an area so densely populated... ridiculous...
@WSJ: Although from a friendly analyst point of view it is nice to know the schematics of weapons systems, etc... from a Red Flagger point of view, that's always extra useful info. Not everything, especially weapons kits, etc... needs to be OSINT, you know...
If I'm a spy from PyeongYang in KoreaTown, I'd be loving such info, and it's free.
Why is it SPICY. Lol, like the name.
sounds like JDAM
That was new in the first gulf war...... long time ago

Yet they still hitting civilians 🤦🏾♂️
They only hit civilians...more people were killed in Gaza than people were killed in Ukraine since Russian invasion in 2022...And that is a real war..
in this type of conflict, EVERY country would have ended up with civilian casualties. No magic solutions. That's just the way it is unfortunately.
"we only attack hamas militants" then tf happen to the 10k kids
@@MegaTron7568
Hamas strategy is to intentionally generate as many civilian casualties as possible, to benefit from a better international leverage. If they wanted to protect their kids, all they had to do at this point is to release the hostages and lay down their arms, but I guess that their egos are more important than the lives of their own children.
I'm sorry, but you sound like a young and naive video gamer, honestly.
This is REAL WAR.
Real wars are sad and terrible, there are unwanted civilian casualties, but unlike video games, there are no "special moves" or "magic" solutions in wars and sometimes, your options only vary between "Bad", "Terrible" and "Horrible".
In this specific situation every other country would have ended with exactly the same results if not the far worse ones.
You should be thankful, that you have the privilege of not having to choose your life over someone else's.
320 million dollars of our money as our people are hungry and losing their homes
How does iarael choose targets? How do they know the building contains Hamas? Is it because of their phones' GPS?
Whatever it takes to minimize innocent lives being lost
Israel doesn't need S.P.I.C.E kits. Seems like a waste of money.
In Dresden bombing which is half the size of the Gaza strip were used 3,900 tons of explosives. Israel dropped 25,000 tons of explosives on Gaza since October 7...
Look up the term "False equivalent" ?
It is surprising to turn a dumb bomb into a smart precision bomb by the technology of a usa.😅.
There was a show in the 1960s where they showed computer simulated attacks but the people had to step into real eliminators to equal the promised casualties the computer came up with. Maybe that would make everyone happy here? Just guess with computers how many were supposed to be hit and then they go into the eliminator machines which both sides has a record of how many go in - and don't come back out.
You're talking about a Star Trek: TOS episode.
That show was called Star Trek, and it was a good point then and now
Oh
The spice must... fall?
Why does the US have to foot the bill for this? Israel can make/buy these themselves easily.
Hamas must also have some missile right ?
They've fired thousands into Israel in the past few months.
