After the war, the Americans developed the glide bomb, adding sophisticated electronics.

The glide bomb was the forerunner of today's guided missile.

There are also unpowered guided glide bombs not considered missiles.

Often these tests were made to assess flight characteristics when carrying glide bombs such as the Hs 293.

This was one of a number of efforts to provide guidance for the ongoing Hs 293 glide bomb project.

The German solution was the development of a number of glide bombs employing radio control guidance.

The Hs293 has been variously described as a missile or as a boosted glide bomb.

There he supported U.S. efforts to deploy glide bombs against Japan.

As he left the landing craft, an enemy glide bomb exploded, and he received shrapnel wounds.

Because the B-2 is stealthy, it can penetrate air defenses and drop glide bombs rather than having to shoot cruise missiles from far away.

Their main effort was the development of radio-controlled missiles and glide bombs for use against shipping, a target otherwise both difficult and dangerous to attack.

The 1st GMS terminated its gliding bomb mission and was inactivated.

She was then hit by a German glide bomb that same year, causing significant damage and killing sixteen of her crew and wounding seven.

The Bigeye was a glide bomb designed under the auspices of the U.S. Navy.

A third glide bomb splashed off the ship's starboard beam as its parent craft turned back in the face of Tillman's concerted fire.

Weapons capability include the Chinese LS-500J laser-guided glide bombs with a 12 km range.
