Laser Guided Bomb

Smart bombs or laser-guided bombs are bombs that land precisely on their targets and wreak havoc. The biggest challenge in war is to land the bomb on its target. Smart bombs came into being as a solution to this. Laser beams guide smart bombs. The first laser-guided bomb was developed by the US Air Force in 1968. The test was carried out by dropping it on a jet aircraft. The bomb was dropped after sending laser beams from a special device to illuminate the target. Today's new smart bombs use a different strategy. Forces on the warfront send laser beams to illuminate the target. Fighter jets following behind will bomb the target illuminated by the laser. If the weather is not right, smart bombs often miss. The bomb's aim is missed when the target is not clear. After the United States, Russia, France, Britain, and India have also developed laser-guided bombs.
