ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to bombs intended to be released at a very low altitude so as to damage high mechanical resistance surfaces and more particularly antirunway bombs equipped with a downward or acceleration propulsive unit. Each bomb comprises means for braking and orienting it during its initial fall, so as to position the bomb in a plane activating an upward propulsive unit. These means are formed of at least one parachute placed at the head of the bomb. With the activation position reached, the upward propulsive unit causes the bomb to rise and, during the final fall of said bomb, a downward propulsive unit, placed in front of the upward propulsive unit, accelerates the final fall of the bomb so as to accumulate high kinetic energy at the time of impact on the ground.
