yes the "smart bombs" do less damage to the surroundings than the old

means it "hits" what it was dropped to hit sometimes. and laser guided
just means it homes in on a target that is "painted" by an observer
this can be on the ground or from the air. some bombs are set up to
penetrate a hardened target. all of them have a blast radius of
several yards to several hundred feet depending on payload and
fragmentation characteristics. most of what the us drops are 500lb
bombs and they have a nice big blast radius.

There were quite a few 5000 pounders dropped, takes out most of a city
block,,, but damned accurately....
