Description
The FAB-100 (fugasnaya aviatsionnaya bomba) is a Soviet-designed general-purpose bomb. It belongs to a class of unguided gravity weapons developed to remain in service alongside other Soviet-era bomb series.
As a general-purpose bomb, the weapon is designed as a compromise between blast damage, penetration, and fragmentation. It is utilized against enemy personnel, vehicles, and buildings. The bomb features a thick-walled metal casing containing explosive filler. Unlike Western general-purpose bombs that use stabilizing fins, the FAB-100 is stabilized in flight by a circular ring airfoil.
The FAB-100 is widely deployed. The weapon has seen service with Russia, Warsaw Pact nations, and various export countries.
