👉 "Bleeding missiles," also known as "flying bombs" or "bomb-droppers," are a type of weaponized missile system designed to deliver explosive payloads from an aircraft or drone, often in a targeted manner. These missiles are engineered to detach mid-flight and descend to the ground under their own power, typically using parachutes or rocket-assisted descent, to strike specific targets with high precision. The term "bleeding" refers to the missile's ability to continue moving and potentially causing collateral damage or spreading explosive effects beyond the intended target area due to its extended range and maneuverability. This technology is often used for precision strikes in military operations, aiming to minimize civilian casualties while achieving strategic objectives.
