Actually, for Kh-59M, why would you need to hit a moving target like a tank 100+kms away? With a missile that expensive and heavy, you’d want to hit larger and more important fixed targets like airfields, ammo depots, command posts and whatever. Against armoured columns, you don’t exactly need a TV guided bomb to hit these moving targets, and like you said a GPS bomb like kAB-500S can receive updates from the radar or even use something like a radar guided ATGM like Brimstone or even Hermes and JCM in the future. The JDAM is being updated and modified to hit moving targets now. I think in the future the KAB-500S could be modified too and probably will. But the point is, for hitting moving targets like tanks and such, I’d rather use the cheaper 50 kg Brimstone than a 250+ kg JDAM.

Also, one can question the vulnerability of satellites. How hard would it be to develop Anti-Satellite weapons? Destroyign these satellites would totally **** up all the GPS supported platforms.

I hate when all these pro-Russians babble on about how the Russians “invested” stealth, it doesnt matter who calculated it first or whatever, what matters is who is developing it now, whose ahead in this field and who can construct the necessary LO vehicles. It’s clear that Russia or European countries have yet to construct a LO aircraft in class of F-22, F-35, B-2 or whatever. When I see PAK-FA and how stealthy it will be, then we’ll know.

The LGB-250, ie the LGB stands for Laser Guided Bomb on the export market probably, will probably given a designation KAB-250 or KAB-250L. However the 250 is sopposed to mean how much it weighs, in reality I have seen figures from different sources saying it weighs some 300kg.
