Proximity Fuze developed in early World War II under name VT for Variable Time fuze

The video tutorial explains the deployment and arming of bombs, focusing on the use of VT fuses. It covers the safety measures in place for air travel, the functionality of these fuses, and their application in both bombs and rockets. The VT fuses are designed for effectiveness against personnel and light materials, with specific arming distances over land and water. The tutorial also highlights the role of VT fuses in rockets, emphasizing their purpose in targeting and the factors influencing their deployment.

What is the primary purpose of the T2 in the context of bomb release?

• To increase the speed of the bombs

• To ensure safe air travel and clearance from obstacles

• To enhance the explosive power of the bombs

• To decrease the weight of the bombs

What is the main function of VT fuses when used against personnel?

• To increase the speed of the projectile

• To delay explosion until after impact

• To detonate at a specific height above the ground

• To explode on direct impact

How do VT fuses differ in their arming distances over land and water?

• They arm at the same distance over both

• They arm at a longer distance over water

• They do not arm over water

• They arm at a shorter distance over water

What determines the angle of release for rockets using VT fuses?

• The type of target

• The speed of the plane and altitude of release

• The weather conditions

• The weight of the rocket

What was the VT fuse primarily designed for?

• To be used in all types of bombs

• To replace all other types of fuses

• To be used only in naval operations

• To target specific types of targets
