Oh no, I agree, those are most probably guided munitions. I am suggesting only that the same result could have probably been achieved with unguided Mk-82, given the tactical picture.

IIRC, you need an order of magnitude more munitions for conventional versus guided. Sometimes two orders of magnitude, if it's a heavily built target that needs direct hits.

So you just went from 4 bombs to 40. One plane to at least 4, if not 10-12.
