Of course, anonymous US defense officials don't always tell the truth...the first shot of the arty barrage that killed that general was spot on. And the US has been sneaky about provision of PGMs in the past, such as in Colombia to target the FARC.

Quote:In a typical mission, several A-37 Dragonflys flying at 20,000 feet carried smart bombs. As soon as the planes came within a three-mile “basket” of the target, a bomb’s GPS software would automatically turn on.
The Dragonflys were followed by several A-29 Super Tucanos, flying at a much lower altitude. They would drop a series of dumb bombs in a pattern nearby. Their blast pressure would kill anyone close in and also flatten the dense jungle and obscure the use of the smart bombs.
