The term "Daisy Cutter" refers to a type of large aerial bomb used by the military, specifically the United States. Officially known as the BLU-82, it was designed to clear large areas of land, making it effective for creating helicopter landing zones or destroying enemy positions. The bomb is notable for its massive blast radius and ability to flatten structures. Originally developed during the Vietnam War, the Daisy Cutter has been used in various conflicts, including the Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan. Its name comes from its ability to "cut" through vegetation and create a clear area, resembling the effect of a lawn mower on grass.
