These “bombs” are probably going to “fall” several miles through the air and they absolutely will have a guidance system to keep them on course, basically exactly the same as a missile except without the rocket. They’ll be travelling almost as fast as a rocket too.
Comment on US to build new nuclear gravity bomb
Furbag@lemmy.world 1 year agoWouldn’t even technically be nuclear powered, it just has a nuclear payload. I feel like the use of “gravity” in this article was an unnecessary addition.
When most people think “bomb”, they don’t think immediately think of “guided missile”, they thing something that is either planted or dropped from above, and in this case the latter describes exactly what kind of bomb this is.
