Russian Su-34NVO fighters have begun using RBC-500 cluster aerial bombs in a gliding guided version with UMPC kits on enemy fortifications. The ammunition is released from a height of 11,500 m at a distance of up to 45 km.
Each RBC-500 single bomb cassette covered a target sector with 108 AO-2.5RT fragmentation submunitions. You can pay attention to the secondary detonation of a single ammunition set hit by fragments.
