The beam can be aimed by the plane dropping the bomb, another
plane, or an operator on the ground. Other smart bombs use a TV camera mounted
in the nose of the bomb to guide it to its target. *
braveman 18.05.10 - 12:23pm
The camera can locate the
target as the pilot guides the bomb, or the pilot can lock on the image, and
the bomb will adjust itself to keep that image in view. When the bomb drifts
off target, fins steer it back on course. *

Recent smart bombs use the global
positioning system (GPS) for guidance. GPS satellites in orbit transmit location
information to the bomb, so the bomb can guide itself to a preset destination.

Firebombs (sometimes called incendiary bombs) usually consist of a carrier
holding many small sticks that explode into flame. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:01am
These Elektron bombs weighed only 1.0 kg (2.2 lb)
and consisted of 10 percent aluminum and 90 percent magnesium with an igniter.
The Thermite bombs (aluminum and iron oxide) of World War II burned at 2200 C
(4000 F). Under the right conditions, incendiary bombs can start a firestorm,
a self-sustaining fire that can engulf an entire city. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:01am
The rising heat from the
fire creates an upward draft that draws air towards the center of the fire,
fueling it even more. Napalm is an antipersonnel incendiary delivered in tumbling
canisters from low altitude. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:03am
Consisting of jellied gasoline and additives to
enhance stickiness and burning time, napalm burns at 1090 C (1990 F) for
several minutes. *

Nuclear bombs represent a giant increase in explosive power over
conventional bombs. Nuclear bombs have only been used against another
country twice, when American B-29 bombers dropped them on the Japanese
cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 during World War II. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:08am
In addition to blast and heat, nuclear bombs also release radioactive substances,
often in the form of radioactive fallout. Radioactivity can cause radiation
sickness that can lead to death months or years later and pollute the target
for centuries.

There are two types of nuclear weapons: atomic and hydrogen (often referred
to as A-bombs and H-bombs). Atomic bombs release huge amounts of energy by
splitting the nuclei of atoms in a process called fission. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:09am
High-energy neutrons
bang into atoms of uranium or plutonium and cause the atoms to split, releasing
more neutrons. In the Hiroshima bomb nicknamed Little Boy, a device similar
to a gun fired two masses of enriched uranium at each other. When they merged,
the two pieces made up a supercritical mass, in which enough neutrons were
present to cause a chain reaction that had the force of 12.5 kilotons tons of
TNT (12,500 tons). *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:09am
The Nagasaki bomb (nicknamed Fat Man) contained two
hemispheres of radioactive plutonium wrapped in a sphere of explosive. The
explosive squeezed the plutonium spheres together, creating a supercritical
mass and an explosion equal to 22 kilotons (22,000 tons) of TNT.

In the 1950s scientists developed hydrogen bombs that used a fission trigger
to generate enough heat to fuse atomic nuclei in a process called fusion.
*
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:10am
Fusion generates much more heat and blast than fission, and increased the
power of nuclear weapons considerably. Some of the H-bombs carried in U.S.
Air Force B-36 bombers in the 1950s could yield 24 megatons (24,000,000 tons of
TNT), which equaled more than 1,000 Nagasaki atomic bombs. The Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (USSR) tested a device that yielded 57 megatons. *

Eventual
miniaturization of warheads meant that even small aircraft could carry nuclear
bombs or depth charges.
*
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:11am
Other types of nuclear bombs concentrated their effects not on heat or
blast, but on the deadly radiation produced. The neutron bomb was designed
to maximize short-term radiation, deadly to humans, but leave buildings and
other structures standing. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:11am
Several were built in the 1980s, but they have
since been dismantled. See also Nuclear Weapons. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:12am
Chemical bombs carry chemical agents such as nerve gas, or biological weapons
such as the contagious disease anthrax. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:13am
Bombs carrying nerve gas or anthrax
were built but are rare, and have never been used by the United States or
any other major military power. Usually, the bombs bursting charge turns
the agent into a spray. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:13am
Nerve gas bombs can be built as binary weapons, in
which two ingredients that are relatively nontoxic ride in separate compartments
until a charge blends the two chemicals to make nerve gas. Like all chemical
weapons, these bombs are imprecise and have unpredictable results..

Cluster bombs (sometimes called scatter bombs) house submunitions, smaller
explosives contained in individual cases. These bombs are used against large
areas containing many targets, such as columns of vehicles or large troop
concentrations. *
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:15am
They are also often used to bomb enemy airplane runways,
causing enough damage so that planes cannot take off or land. Some cluster
bombs carry several hundred very small explosives, while others carry larger
submunitions that can find specific targets such as tanks. Some types of
submunitions dont blow up immediately, but remain behind and act as landmines
*
braveman 19.05.10 - 11:15am
Leaflet bombs carry propaganda leaflets. When a leaflet bomb is dropped,
it breaks open at a preset altitude and allows the flyers to flutter down.
A random tactic, leaflet bombing can deliver information or even a surrender
ticket to dispirited enemy forces.

Bombs are old and outdated. Plastic knives and boeing 747's ain't *

The Chuck Norris - Chuck Norris getting dropped behind enemy lines. hour and a half later nothing survived. Great example of one Hirosjima. It wasn't a nuclear bomb it was chuck Norris that was dropped *
