What type of bombs did bombers use in the Vietnam war?
Since smart bombs were not yet fully developed during the Viet War, the terms "dumb bombs" and "iron bombs" were not generally used. US bombs (called ordnance) were simply referred to as: General Purpose HE (High Explosive), etc. The most common were the 250lb, 500lb, 750lb, 1000lb, and over...plus the daisy cutter. The 500lb and 750lb were by far the most popular bombs to be used by airmen and the most popular requested by men on the ground; but there really was a bomb shortage during the war. WWII and Korean War stocks had been used up. Factories had to manufacture new bombs to keep up with demand. This was in ADDITION to the US Navy's need for 16" shells (equal to a 2,000 lb bomb) for the battleship USS New Jersey working on the gunline; as well as the 8"and 6" gunned cruisers and 5" gun destroyers. Each one of those USN projectiles was equal to a small bomb. And those also had to be manufactured in American factories.
Vietnam war introduction?
The Vietnam War or Second Indochina War 1 was a conflict between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRVN, or North Vietnam), allied with the National Liberation Front (NLF, or "Viet Cong") against the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, or South Vietnam), and its allies�notably the United States military in support of the South, with American combat troops committed from 1965 to 1973.After France's attempted recolonization of Indochina was defeated in 1954 by the Viet Minh at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, an agreement to temporarily partition the country in two with a Demilitarized Zone or DMZ was reached at the Geneva Conference. The DMZ was not a natural division of Vietnam and was not intended to create two separate countries. The scheduled elections for the unification of the country were blocked. The Vietnam War began as a civil war�fought to determine the status of Vietnam as either a unified nation or as one partitioned indefinitely into two independent states, each supported by rival Superpowers (as after the Korean War). Fighting began in 1957, and with U.S. and Soviet-Chinese involvement and support, it would steadily escalate and spill over into the neighboring Indochinese countries of Cambodia and Laos.South Vietnam�and allies such as the U.S.�portrayed the conflict as one based in a principled and strategic opposition to communism, to deter its expansion throughout Southeast Asia and elsewhere. North Vietnam and its Viet Cong allies claimed the war as a struggle to reunite the country and to repel a foreign aggressor�a continuation of the earlier war for independence against the French.After fifteen years of protracted fighting and massive civilian and military casualties, major, direct U.S. involvement ended with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. Fighting between Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces against the dominant combined People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and Viet Cong forces would soon bring an end to the RVN and the war. With the Northern victory, the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) with a communist-controlled government based in Hanoi.Here is more from WikiAnswers contributors:The USA was trying to stop the spread of Communism in southeast Asia.
