The JSOW is designed glided, so it long wing will create lift for it. So If you can drop at different height and speed it can create different flight profile. But this is effect by weather condition.
If we can lift a 2 person (full grown man (70-90g) x2 =140-180kg) glider of the ground with a with a 4WD (speed 100-120km/h), and have it glide around for hours. A 483 kg JSOW with a 450kg payload (1000 Pounds) drop from a plane at 70000ft, at a speed of let said mach 1, considering wind is blowing at the direction to creat lift. This is very possible.
Any of u realize the NASA Shuttle (Empty Weight - 68,586kg) flies like a conventional glider during the descent and landing.

Surprised me no one has talked about bomb tossing which is what air forces do to increase the range of none glider bombs, and it makes any physics very complicated, so no point trying to prove it here, even if i could remember how. Anyway your looking at ranges of old laser guided bombs of about 30Km's new bombs is still classified. Any none guided bombs would be too inaccurate at these ranges even with fancy computers on board.
lets talk about realistic attack profiles, not just whether its possible to throw a bomb 70Km's, so the high attacks with max speed in my view should not be included as they are not feasible.

So taiwan has finally learned from their mistakes. They have realised that the US wont sell them new or high tech weaponary. This is show in the case of the 150 F16a/b that was overpriced and that decommisioned cruiser. It would probably be cheaper for taiwant to make their own weapons anyway.
How big will the gilding bomb be? How heavy?
The Spice of Israel is 1000-2000 lbs, and it's claimed to the able to glide for 60km. That bomb utilizes 2 shorter wings instead of 1 long conventional wing. Maybe that will improve gliding performance?
I doubt you will need a big warhead to destroy a radar.
If the bomb is going to stay out of range of SA-10 radars, it has to have a good range.
As for the TC-2A, is that going to work? It sounds like Taiwan's counterpart to the Sidearm (Aim-9->ARM) If it's a variant of TC-2A, where will it get the range of the power to destroy a radar?
