Historical Information about BL755

The BL755 is a British cluster bomb developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Hunting Engineering. It was used mainly by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as well as by other NATO countries such as Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia. The most famous deployment of the BL755 was during the Falklands War in 1982, where these bombs were used by British fighter-bombers against ground targets and armored vehicles. They remained in service for most of the Cold War period up to the early 21st century, when they began to be withdrawn due to changes in international law regarding the use of cluster munitions.
