The claim of 'same as a BLU-109' is utter BS; marketing hype by Boeing or the program office. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.92.250.41 ( talk) 17:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Any source to verify that statement? BobThePirate ( talk) 18:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I've heard that these actually have quite a long range (relative to other unpropulsed dumb bombs) when fitted with special fins and dropped from high altitude. Up to sixty miles or so. Does anyone have any information concerning this?
That's me up there, sorry about not signing. Anyways after some unintentional searching I found some stuff about its range here http://www.defense-update.com/products/s/sdb.htm . It describes a 70km range with the folding diamond shaped wings. The relative size and power of this weapon had already amazed me, but add to that is seemingly incredible range and accuracy. This makes it really an incredible standoff weapon especially so because of a few aircraft being able to carry so many. This is a force multiplier if I've ever seen one. Cuitlahuac

I was watching the Discovery channel and the project leader said in an interview its 50-60 miles (isnt that a lot more than 70km?) —Preceding

I've noticed that the german entry features a picture of the SDB with wings and fins in "glide" position. Maybe someone would incorporate this picture in the article, as I'm not familiar with the wiki synthax. 84.166.223.18 11:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Since this article refers to both the GBU-39 (INS) and the GBU-40 (thermal seeker). What do you think? -- RucasHost ( talk) 02:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Its usage in a densely population civilian area was criticized by munitions experts. [1] The size of the debris field indicated that the bombs may have been timed to detonate in air to maximize the area of damage. [2]
