WHAT DOES SMART BOMB MEAN IN ENGLISH?

smart bomb

Guided bomb

A guided bomb is a precision-guided munition designed to achieve greater accuracy. Because the damage effects of explosive weapons fall off with distance according to a power law, even modest improvements in accuracy enable a target to be effectively attacked with fewer or smaller bombs. Therefore, with guided weapons, fewer air crews are put at risk, less ordnance spent, and collateral damage reduced. The creation of precision-guided munitions resulted in the retroactive renaming of older bombs as unguided bombs or "dumb bombs".
