Expert Comment:
High-explosive air bombs (FAB) are air bombs, the main damaging effect of which is the action of a landmine. They have the most powerful and versatile damaging effect among the main purpose air bombs. The mass of the explosive in the bomb is approximately 50%, and the bomb also has a relatively strong body for penetrating into the ground or into obstacles such as interfloor ceilings of buildings and structures.
FAB-100 high-explosive bombs have been produced in the USSR since 1932. During the Second World War, they accounted for 50 to 70% of the total number of high-explosive bombs produced by the defense industry. Such bombs were equipped with fuses that fire instantly or with a delay of 0.3 s. The explosion of this projectile forms a funnel in the ground with a diameter of 5 m and a depth of 2 m.
