What is the deffinion of ionic bonbs?

Iron bombs are used today to separate them from atomic/flame/and smart bombs. During WW1 & WW2 there was only a need to use the terms fire bombs or general purpose bombs (High Explosive). During the Korean War, we had to separate the atomic bomb from fire bombs and general purpose bombs. During the Vietnam War, the same separations had to be termed. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, SMART Weapons had to be added to the ATOMIC, FIRE, GENERAL PURPOSE bombs...so the accepted term for General Purpose (High Explosive) bombs came to be known as IRON BOMBS; aka Dumb Bombs.

What was the B-52 and what could it do?

During the Vietnam War the B52 Stratofortress was a SAC heavy bomber (Strategic Air Command). The best thing about it was the NVA couldn't shoot it down because it flew so high and dropped 108 750lb general purpose high exposive bombs on a single pass. The SAM ground defense teams in North Vietnam could shoot it down, but not the NVA in South Vietnam. One B52 dropped more bombs than ten WWII B17 bombers. Vietnam's "general purpose" HE bombs are today called iron or dumb bombs due to todays SMART BOMBs.
