US running out of dumb bombs?

I have checked the issue to see if memory has started to play tricks, but it seems it has not.

I have taken a map with a river and three parallel bridges side by side (so near misses would still hit bridge hexes).
Then I created a test scenario set in the 2000s, USA vs North Korea using said map.
For the US I purchased
1)several FO vehicles
2) three flights composed by two unit. n.146 F-15E Eagle, each armed with two weapon n.213 2000lb Paveway, probably the most powerful guided bomb in the game.
3) For further check, one flight composed by two unit
n. 595 F-22 Raptor, each armed with two 1000 Ib JDAM
weapon n. 207

I then used the american FO to set up an opening bombardment of the central bridge at the start of the scenario, which I then ran for five times.
For five times I sat back watching the USAF hitting those bridges with a dozen of 2000 Ib LGBs and JDAMs. And for five times, after the smoke cleared, the bridges were standing there without a scratch.
