North Vietnamese Forces Boasted Dragon's Jaw Was Invincible—Till The GBU-10 Paveway I Ended The Myth

Discover how an invisible network accomplished what five hundred bombing missions could not: destroying North Vietnam's Dragon's Jaw bridge. From 1965-1968, massive U.S. strikes hurled hundreds of tons at Thanh Hóa's spans—eleven aircraft lost, bridge still standing. Then May 1972 changed everything: twelve precision-guided bombs dropped both spans in under two minutes, zero losses. This documentary reveals the three-node kill chain—laser designators, smart seekers, and political authorization—that transformed warfare. Learn why the Pave Knife pod sat unused for years, how pilots like Major Larson executed revolutionary strikes, and why authorization mattered as much as technology. Based on verified military records and post-war analysis, witness the birth of precision warfare doctrine: the moment bombs that see replaced bombs that fall. Featuring GBU-10 Paveway guidance, Walleye seekers, F-4 tactics, SA-2 defenses, and the invisible network that proved precision beats persistence when politics and physics finally align. #ushistory #vietnamwar #warhistory
