That tablet must be running some very good bomb aiming software to drop those barrels accurately enough to stay in line with their very restrictive ROE.

This isn't intended to start a fight or make any kind of political comment, but is there a difference between an aircraft dropping a "barrel bomb" or dropping another type of unguided non-precision weapon such as a "dumb" 500 pounder?
