The SVP-24 then computes an “envelope” (speed, altitude, course) inside which the dumb bombs are automatically released exactly at the precise moment when their unguided flight will bring them right over the target (with a 3-5m accuracy).
...
Not only that, but the pilot does not even have to worry about targeting anything. He just enters the target’s exact coordinates into his system, flies within a defined envelope and the bombs are automatically released for him. ... And the best part of this all is that this system can be used in high altitude bombing runs, well over the 5000m altitude which MANPADs cannot reach.

They are saying that, because most of their audience are gullible fools.

Only in 1965 USAF rejoined to the program, developing its all weather version of the Corsair II, the A-7D. This version included advanced flight and navigation displays, one of the first digital computer and also an inertial navigation system. Indeed the A-7D had a truly advanced avionics: it embedded some sophisticated systems, including the CCIP, the Continuosly Computed Impact Point that gave a real time computation of the weapon release point.

Along with the CCIP there was also the CCRP, the Continuosly Computed Release Point which would automatically deliver the weapon on the target point.

The A-7D also introduced the BFL, acronym of Bomb Fall Line which showed a “X” on the HUD indicating where the weapon would have hit if the pilot delivered the weapon at that moment.

So it's just a kit for CCRP(Continuously Computed Release Point) bombing.. Any US aircraft that can bomb stuff can do this already. Also the "3-5m accuracy" is only possible when at very low altitude.

In essence, this article says that the Russians are NOW trying to do something 'murkans tried to do back in the 1960s: instead of 'smart' bombs, they tried to develop 'smart' aircraft - see F-111.

Somehow, already Americans concluded this is no solution, then no matter how 'smart' is some aircraft, there are still such real-world factors like something called 'wind', that remain influential upon free-fall weapons.

Bottom line: 'smart' aircraft are no replacement for 'smart' bombs, and we can see this dozens of times every single day in Syria.
