The UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon fighter jets have utilized Paveway IV laser-guided bombs in Syria to target ISIS tunnels. These 226-kilogram bombs, costing around $30,000 each, feature dual-mode GPS and laser guidance for all-weather, 24-hour precision strikes. The munition includes a concrete-penetrating warhead and a smart fuse for controlled detonation.
