Historical Value

ASM-A-1 TARZON (VB-13) is an American guided bomb from the Cold War era, developed as a successor to the VB-3 Razon bomb and mainly used during the Korean War (1950-1953). TARZON was based on the “heavy” BLU-41/B bomb body and the guidance system of VB-13. Its main tasks included the precise destruction of fortifications, bridges, and important military infrastructure, which classical drop bombs could not achieve from high altitude. Although its use in the field was limited by malfunctions and logistical challenges, it was an important step in the development of guided bomb technology and precision air armament for the USA.
