Dum Bomb

Explosive warheads that are delivered by gravity alone, via an aircraft that flies at a higher altitude than its target, are known as Dum Bombs. This mis-spelling originates from the acronymn Detonate Upon Meeting; referring to the bomb's trigger being set off simply by falling onto something rather than any sophisticated delivery.

Dum bombs are typically carried by Skyfighters or bombers, although they may also be used in aggressive attrition tactics from slower moving (but higher payload) hoverbarges.
