Defence Services & Weaponry (Q&A)

Answer:

Bat bombs were specifically developed for world war II, because:

• Bats occur in large numbers.

• Bats can carry more than their own weight in flight. Females generally carry their young, sometimes even twins.

• Bats hibernate and while dormant they do not require food or maintenance.

• Bats fly in darkness, then find secluded places, often in buildings to hide during daylight.
