BetAB-500ShP Concrete Piercing Bomb
This special bomb is effective against hardened shelters and concrete runways. It has a parachute
and solid propellant rocket motor. First the parachute retards the bomb, giving the aircraft time to
egress, and orients the bomb vertically over the target. Then the rocket motor ignites, accelerating
the warhead to a speed sufficient to pierce concrete. The bomb has a stronger casing than ordinary
high explosive bombs that allows it to be buried into the concrete before detonation. This bomb is
best dropped from an altitude of 150 – 1000 meters and airspeed 550 to 1100 km/h.

SAB-100 Illumination Bomb
Figure 75: SAB-100 Illumination Bomb
This 100 kg-caliber flare-bomb is used to illuminate a target area after dark. The dispensing container
is released from an altitude of 1000 – 3000 m, after which illuminating flares are ejected in sequence.
Each flare element is equipped with a parachute to decrease the rate of fall. The illumination time
lasts 1 – 5 minutes.
RBK-250, RBK-500 Cluster Bomb
RBK cluster bombs are thin-walled canisters that contain multiple antipersonnel or antitank mine, or
fragmentation, antitank or incendiary bomblet sub-munitions. The cluster bomb has about the same
dimensions as a general purpose high explosive bomb with caliber 100 – 500 kg and are designated
