Air-to-Ground Weapons
The Su-27 can carry limited types of air-to-surface weapons. This arsenal includes free-fall bombs
and unguided rockets.
General Purpose, Low-Drag Bombs
This category of bombs includes the FAB-100, FAB-250 and FAB-500 freefall bombs. They have low
drag indexes and have flat trajectories. This often allows you to release a bomb at a target while it is
still visible.
Step 1
Visually identify the target.
Step 2
Select the air-to-surface mode by pressing the [7] key.
Step 3
When the CCIP aiming pipper starts moving from the HUD lower portion of the HUD, place the pipper
on the target and press the weapon release button on the joystick or the [Space] key on the
keyboard when the "ПР" (LA) appears on the HUD.
THE BOMBS CAN BE RELEASED AFTER THE LA SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE HUD. BEFORE RELEASE A STEADY DIVE
TOWARDS THE TARGET ASSURES A GOOD RELEASE. TRY TO AVOID CHANGES IN BANK, PITCH AND YAW AND
SIGNIFICANT AIRSPEED CHANGES DURING THE BOMBING PASS. SUCH CONTROL INPUTS MAY LEAD TO REDUCED
ACCURACY.
General Purpose, High-Drag Bombs
This bomb category includes bombs with aerodynamically high drag such as PB-250, ODAB-500,
various RBK types, KMGU-2 containers, and BetAB concrete-piercing bombs. They have high drag
values and have a curved trajectory that significantly complicates that targeting of visible targets.
It is recommended to use the continuously calculated release point (CCRP) delivery mode when using
this type of bomb. To drop a high-drag bomb, follow these steps:
Step 1
Identify the target visually.
Step 2
