Historical Description of AGM-62 Walleye I ER/ERDL

AGM-62 Walleye is an American air-to-ground glide bomb distinguished by the use of a TV-guidance system. Developed in the 1960s, it was one of the first precision weapons of this type. It was used mainly by the US Navy and US Air Force. The ER and ERDL versions (Extended Range/Extended Range Data Link) allowed for extended range and real-time image transmission from the bomb to the operator in the aircraft.

This weapon was widely used during the Vietnam War, as well as throughout the Cold War until the late 1980s. It equipped aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, A-4 Skyhawk, and A-6 Intruder. Accurate strikes by the AGM-62 often resulted in the elimination of strategic infrastructure and military targets, significantly influencing the tactics of aerial conflict.
