Bouncing bombs were designed by the British Royal Air Force during World War II for use against dams. The bombs were specifically developed to skip along the surface of the water before reaching their target, creating an underwater explosion that would breach the dams and disrupt enemy infrastructure.

How does the bouncing bombs work?

Bouncing bombs are specially designed to skip across the water before hitting their target. They are typically dropped from an aircraft at a precise height and speed to achieve the desired skipping effect, allowing them to reach their target even if it is protected by underwater obstacles or defenses. This bouncing technique increases the likelihood of the bomb hitting its intended target with greater accuracy and impact.
