In 2021, the world’s major military powers actively promoted the development of aerial bombs. This paper summarized the development trend of the United States, Russia, European countries and India in the field of aerial bombs. In order to deal with the conflict between great powers in the future, the United States has comprehensively promoted the construction of aerial guided bomb combat capability and the R&D and application of advanced technology.Russia focuses on the development of glide guided bombs and unmanned airborne munitions.European countries actively promote the research of unmanned airborne ammunition and the independent control of guided bomb technology.India focuses on developing long-range aerial bombs which can be launched outside the defense zone.Aerial bombs will mainly develop in the direction of autonomous networking and coordination, standoff attack, miniaturization, UAV carrying and large equivalent deterrence.
