and impact the target by a high contrast point on the camera relays.
The pilot identifies the target, and what he sees on the scope, then
he set positions target point to the Walleye and releases the bomb
within its glide and guidance parameters. The key of the new
weapon was its pinpoint accuracy target, and the pilot can release
the weapons farther away from the target to avoid possible with
target defense weapons.
The Wild Weasel was ferreted out by the pilot; it was
suppressing or destroy the SAMs, Anti Aircraft Artillery and Auto-
Weapons in the air while flying and striking on the target.
Adding to the fighter aircraft the BULLPUPS missile, which would
launch onto the target at fifteen thousand feet while the bombs
would release at four or three thousand feet, also on the wings of
aircraft had "Sidewinder" missiles and 20mm canons ammunition,
which was common to all air strikes on North Vietnam.
With those new modern bombs the pilot would release them at
high altitude in the air and drive them onto the target, where Viet-
Cong had employed the heavy modern defense system weapons
with a lot of 37mm, 57mm, 85mm Anti-Aircraft-Artilleries (AAA), SA-
2 Rada controller, Auto-Weapons AAA and SAMs or making a "Dog-
Fight" with MIG-15s, MIG-17s and MIG-21s in the air if they
intercepted.
After the bomb exploded on the target, made highway bridge
heavily cratered. The heavy smoke and fire columns rise into the air
like the dark cloud, the large chunks of concrete, metal were tossed
up and missing. Several truss beams had been blown away and
dropped into the rive at the same time with the bombs, which had
blasted right through the bridge. The ground shook like an
earthquake by the bombs of 1000 to 5000 pounds. All most the
bridges on the highways of North Vietnam were destroyed or
damaged by American modern airpower weapons with high
explosive, guided bomb and electronic missiles (ABM). The famous
targets in Vietnam Second Indochina War were two important
bridges of Dragon's Jaw (Ham-Rong), it was crossing Song-Ma river
nearby Thanh-Hoa city and Paul Doumer (Long-Bien), which
