The VB-3 Razon was a high-angle freefall guided bomb developed by the United States Army Air Force during the 1940s.

Mating the guidance system of the earlier Razon radio-controlled weapon with a British Tallboy 12,000-pound (5,400 kg) bomb, the ASM-A-1 saw brief operational service in the Korean War before being withdrawn from service in 1951.

The VB-3 Razon (for range and azimuth) was a standard 1,000-pound general purpose bomb fitted with flight control surfaces. Development of the Razon began in 1942, but it did not see use during World War II.19th Bomb Group B-29s dropped 489 Razons during,

The Air Force used two guided bombs in Korea, the VB-3 Razon and VB-13 Tarzon, primarily against bridges. The Razon and Tarzon worked using the same method. A bombardier dropped and visually guided the weapon by radio control.

AZON, the first smart bomb developed by the United States. AZON (or Azon), from " azimuth only", was one of the world's first guided weapons, deployed by the Allies and contemporary with the German Fritz X.

The VB-5 was a 450 kg (1000 lb) bomb, which used the same tandem octagonal control shroud arrangement as the VB-3/VB-4 Razon. However, the VB-5 was not command guided but used an autonomous light contrast seeker.

The 1,000-pound Razon bomb was a remotely controlled, radio-guided bomb originally developed for use in World War II. Despite some early problems, B-29 bomba...

The VB-3 is a guided bomb similar to the VB-1, with the major difference that its flight may be controlled in range as well as in azimuth, and is known generally as the “Razon” bomb. Like the VB-1, it has special tail unit fitted to a 1,000 pound GP body, and is normally released from high altitude by use of a conventional bomb sight, the ...
