The deployment marks the first known combat use of the precision-guided system by Thailand and is likely to boost global interest in the weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several media outlets reported that Thai F-16 fighter jets carried out the strikes using KGGB-equipped Mk.82 bombs, targeting two Cambodian positions.The operation reportedly destroyed a command post, multiple ammunition depots, and at least two Russian-made BM-21 \u201cGrad\u201d multiple rocket launch systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Thai Air Force official described the strike as part of a broader military response to what Thailand called a Cambodian incursion into its territory. \u201cThe goal was to disrupt Cambodian artillery operations and prevent further attacks on Thai positions,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The KGGB is a glide bomb kit developed by South Korea\u2019s LIG Nex1, a leading defense contractor, under the guidance of the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), South Korea\u2019s state-run defense research agency, in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed to convert conventional 500-pound Mk.82 bombs into precision weapons, the system combines folding wings with inertial and satellite navigation. It offers an extended strike range of up to 68 miles with a circular error probable (CEP) as low as 10 feet under optimal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One key advantage of the KGGB is its plug-and-play functionality. The system can be programmed directly from the cockpit using a portable control device, eliminating the need for structural modifications to the aircraft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Thai Air Force purchased 20 KGGB kits in two separate orders beginning in 2022 for integration with its multirole F-16 fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Thailand\u2019s operational deployment, interest in the KGGB is expected to grow. Both Thailand and Saudi Arabia are current users, while Poland and Colombia have expressed interest in future acquisitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland is reportedly considering the KGGB as a solution for delays in arming its FA-50GF light combat aircraft. The integration would enable longer-range precision strikes while allowing the aircraft to operate from safer distances, minimizing exposure to enemy air defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colombia, meanwhile, is drawn to the KGGB\u2019s compatibility with existing aircraft systems, which would allow immediate deployment without costly modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its first use in live combat now confirmed, the KGGB is positioning itself as a competitive export option in the global smart munitions market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Thai Air Force has confirmed the use of South Korea\u2019s GPS-guided bomb, the KGGB (Korean
