Animated Demonstration Of Destruction Of V-T Fuse Bomb On Land

The video tutorial compares old bomb fuses with the VT proximity fuse. It highlights the limitations of delayed action and contact fuses, which often miss direct hits and are less effective due to their upward burst. In contrast, the VT proximity fuse detonates just above the ground, maximizing damage with shrapnel. The video also explains the sensitivity zones around the VT projectile's nose, which trigger an explosion when a target enters the zone.

What is a major drawback of old delayed action or contact fuses?

• They explode too early.

• They are ineffective if a direct hit is missed by a small distance.

• They are too heavy to be used effectively.

• They are too expensive to produce.

Why are late action bombs less effective against certain targets?

• They explode with an upward burst.

• They have a delayed detonation.

• They are too small to cause significant damage.

• They require manual activation.

How does a VT proximity fuse enhance the effectiveness of a bomb?

• By reducing the noise of the explosion.

• By increasing the speed of the bomb.

• By detonating just above the ground to spread shrapnel effectively.

• By delaying the explosion until it hits the ground.

What is indicated by the shadows around the nose of a VT projectile?

• The weight of the bomb.

• The color of the bomb.

• The speed of the projectile.

• The zones of sensitivity.

When does a bomb with a VT proximity fuse explode?

• When any part of the target enters the sensitivity zone.

• When it reaches a certain altitude.

• When it is manually triggered.

• When it hits the ground.
