Optical bombsights

ID: optical-bombsights

Optical bombsights are devices used in military aviation to improve the accuracy of bomb drops from aircraft. These sights use optical technology to allow bombardiers to visually aim at targets during bombing runs. The principle behind optical bombsights involves the use of advanced lenses and reticles that can help the operator calculate the correct angle and timing to release bombs, taking into consideration factors such as altitude, speed, and wind conditions.
