Historical description

The GBU-11 Paveway bomb is an American precision-guided glide bomb with laser guidance, developed during the Cold War as the first generation of this type of weapon by Texas Instruments for the United States Air Force. The bomb was based on the classic heavy Mk 84 bomb, equipped with the Paveway I LGB kit. The GBU-11 was widely used in the early 1970s during the Vietnam War, particularly in operations requiring precise attacks on highly protected targets such as bridges and anti-aircraft installations. In the following decades, the bomb became a symbol of the development of precision-guided munitions.
