British anti-air demo

The video explains the process of a Bombardier adjusting and correcting the bomb site to ensure a direct hit. It highlights the plane's vulnerability during a level run on the target, where it cannot dodge antiaircraft fire. Ground-based range keepers and predictors use triangulation to calculate where the plane and projectile will meet. Even if enemy planes avoid direct hits, they may be thrown off course, causing their bomb loads to miss the target.

What is the primary responsibility of the Bombardier during a bombing run?

• To navigate the aircraft

• To pilot the plane

• To adjust and correct the bomb site for accuracy

• To communicate with ground forces

Why is the plane most vulnerable during the bombing run?

• It is flying at a high altitude

• It cannot dodge antiaircraft fire

• It is low on fuel

• It is flying at maximum speed

How do ground-based predictors assist in targeting planes?

• By calculating the plane's position using triangulation

• By providing weather updates

• By sending decoy signals

• By jamming enemy radar

What happens if enemy planes escape direct hits?

• They will return to base

• They will be thrown off course

• They will speed up

• They will gain altitude

What is a potential consequence of bombs being thrown off course?

• They will return to the plane

• They will explode mid-air

• They will fall short of the target

• They will hit the target
