Bend (military)

See also: Bomb

A bends is a machine Explosif usually consisting of a filled up container of explosive material having for goal to cause a destruction when started. Its explosion is caused, usually, by a Horloge, a Télécommande or an unspecified kind of sensor (pressure, Radar, contact, etc). If it is self-propelled, it belongs to a Missile.

The bombs were massively used starting from the Second world war.

The bombs are often used at the time of Guerre S, and also at the time of terrorist activities. The most powerful bomb is the bends with hydrogen, whereas the most powerful bomb which is not nuclear at the beginning of the Années 2000 is a Russian bomb tested in September 2007 of a power equivalent to a nuclear load.

The soldiers in general use bombs released since a plane. Sizes variable and intended to treat different objectives, one distinguishes inter alia:

traditional Bomb or with fragmentation: it consists of explosive in a metal body splitting up into small pieces. This type of not very expensive bomb is effective against the troops on the ground, the vehicles little armor-plated and the light buildings.

braked Bomb: it is equipped with Aérofrein S in order to ensure the most vertical possible fall when it is released. That makes it possible in particular the bomber to put a maximum of distance between him and the blast of the explosion, when it carries out its dropping at very low altitude.

anti-runway Bomb: it is intended to make unusable a track of Aérodrome. Penetrating vertically in the track, it explodes there with delay, thus raising broad plates of the coating of the track. The caused damage is then longer to repair than a simple crater.

Bomb at submunitions: it contains a certain number of secondary ammunition intended to destroy different type of targets: Armoured tank S and Ship S, for example. Under ammunition are dispersed above the objective, thus tackling a surface rather than a precise point. When the media use the term “bends with fragmentation”, it is generally about a bomb with under ammunition.

thermobaric Bombe for purpose of blast or , also called bends with implosion or sometimes bends in neutral : recent development of the American Armed , it aims at creating a wave of considerable pressure intended to destroy the structures and the personnel. MOAB belongs to this category.

Bombs guided by Laser: developed in the Years 1970, it acts in general of a traditional bomb equipped with a device intended to guide its fall towards a point indicated by a laser spot. Designation can be done since the bomber which launched it, a second apparatus or by troops on the ground. Of a precision of 5 m, guidance makes it possible to release the bomb of much further that a traditional bomb, which makes it possible to improve the chances of survival of the bomber and/or to attack well defended targets.

Bomb guided by INS/GPS: developed by the American army, she is guided by a new type of guidance which is based at the same time on a passive localization by satellite and on inertia. This control system with the advantage of allowing a dropping as a blind man on coordinates raised by other means and of not requiring to preserve a continuous designation of the objective (principle of the fire and forget : one draws and one forgets the bomb, which achieves the autonomous goal of way).

chemical Bomb: it contains chemical substances (for example, Napalm) generally intended to attack the people. These chemical substances paralyze, burn, asphyxiate, deafen or plug. According to the nature of the substance, the people reached can be decreased the remaining one of their life or die.

Bomb of marking: it contains substances which facilitate the work of the troops of combat. For example, the bombs with phosphorus are used to light a target or to dazzle the enemy troops.

Bomb with neutrons: it is a Arme of massive destruction which uses the energy of the atom, but in a way different from the Nuclear bomb. Indeed, it emits especially Neutron S, aiming mainly the living beings. She is regarded as a bends salts , because she produces mainly radioactive materials.

Nuclear bomb: it is a Arme of massive destruction which uses the energy of the atom, produced either by the Fission of heavy atoms (uranium and plutonium in the case of the bombs has), or by the fusion of light atoms (hydrogen in the case of the H-bombs).

salted Bomb: it is a Arme of massive destruction which uses the energy of the atom, and which in is intended to produce a radioisotope to maximize the radioactive fallout.

Bombe salts: it is about any bomb which supports the dissemination of toxic products. For example, a larded traditional plutonium bomb is such a bomb.

Bomb Bunker buster: it is conceived to penetrate of the strengthened targets or in-depth buried targets.

Bomb with greenhouse effect: bend which one spoke at the time of the first war of the Golf and who consisted in vaporizing gasoline in altitude which one would cause the combustion involving of the chain reactions such as the combustion of surrounding oxygen, the gone up compensation one of the air coming from the ground with transport and creation of a sand cloud which in its turn will be put under conditions of ignitions and all that constituting a hell for the men on the ground.
