Re: Terror Bomb

The TARZON and RAZON were designed, just like other guided bombs, to take out
precision targets like single buildings, fortifications, ships and bridges.
They weren't especially designed for anti-personnel uses. The Soviets had the
same problem in Afghanistan with their FAB-3000, FAB-5000, and FAB-9000
bombs, which weighed 3300, 11,500, and 19,800 pounds respectively. Latter was
designed to kill a Missouri class battleship or Midway class carrier with one
shot, and were not particularly good against troops and buildings.
