Answer:

A bomb that is dropped from a moving helicopter doesn't fall directly downward rather it follows the parabolic path as it were thrown horizontally from a height with certain initial velocity. Therefore, the bomb should be dropped from farther distance equal to the horizontal range before the helicopter reaches above the target.
