The term "Buzz Bomb" commonly refers to the V-1 flying bomb, a German weapon used during World War II. It was an early cruise missile that flew at low altitudes and was powered by a pulsejet engine, producing a distinctive buzzing sound. The V-1 was designed to target cities, particularly London, and was launched from ground sites or aircraft. The Buzz Bomb was notable for its simplicity and effectiveness, carrying a high-explosive warhead. Although it caused significant destruction, its accuracy was limited. The development of the V-1 marked a significant advancement in missile technology, influencing future weapon designs.
