The "Spice" family of guided bombs are a product of an Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
This allows a striking aircraft to release a bomb at a target without entering the threat envelope of most short- and medium-range air defense systems which offers it some protection.
In February 2019, the Indian Air Force claims that its Mirage 2000s targeted an alleged "militant training camp" near the town of Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan using SPICE 2000 munitions.
[11][citation needed][12] During the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present), the Israeli military leveled a suburban Beirut building that it said housed Hezbollah facilities.
The Spice 2000 bomb used in the attack was photographed mid-air by Bilal Hussein (photojournalist) instants before it hit the building.
With a skilled WSO that has a "sensitive hand", this guidance method is potentially the most accurate one employed today for air-dropped munitions and has no measurable miss distance.
