FAB-250 and FAB-500 General Purpose Bombs
  The FAB-250 and FAB-500 contain charges of high-explosive material. FAB, which means Blast Aviation Bomb, is the standard general purpose weapon used by the CIS military. The overall design is the same, as bombs don't change that much, but the number designates the caliber in kilograms of the explosive. They mainly damage by shockwave, and are used against immobile targets such as railway bridges, industrial facilities, ships, and soft targets.

  Type | Damage | CF | Cost | Weight
  FAB-250 | 45D* | 3 | 4,000¥ | 250 kg
  FAB-500 | 60D* | 5 | 8,000¥ | 500 kg

  *-1/meter.
  B-250 Retarded Bomb
  The PB-250 is a standard blast-fragmentation bomb. The rear of the bomb has a bay in which a drogue chute is attached. When released, the drogue slows the bomb considerably, allowing the dropping aircraft to escape without taking damage. It is effective against personnel, lightly armored targets, truck convoys, aircraft parked on airfields, etc.

  Damage | CF | Cost | Weight
  45D* | 3 | 4,500¥ | 500 kg

  *-5/meter
  KAB-500 Laser Guided Bomb
  The KAB-500 is simply an IR or TV guided bomb, as well as laser. Using a seeker mounted in the head, the KAB-500 can use TV guidance, which is useful in daytime and fair conditions (KAB-500KR). For night time operations, the IR version is used (KAB-500L). The laser guided bomb is used for pinpoint strikes, necessary for most attacks (KAB-500LB). Each version has a minature processor, or a TV camera for the TV guided version. The field of vision of the bomb is 2-3 degrees.

  Type | Damage | CF | Cost | Weight
  KAB-500KR | 60D* | 3 | 10,000¥ | 500 kg
  KAB-500L | 60D* | 3 | 12,000¥ | 500 kg
