Description
This missile consists of a modified Bomb T10 with a circular, 54 inch shroud about its body for lift, an octagonal tail surface for control, and the radio control mechanisms for guidance in range and azimuth. It is well suited for use against targets requiring direct hits, deep penetration, and heavy explosive loads. Good visual bombing conditions are necessary, and, when several bombs are to be used on the same target, all must be dropped together, since the first explosion will visually obscure the target area. Another tactical requirement is for the dropping aircraft to remain on its bomb run until the missile strikes.
