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.
RBC-500 is a single bomb cassette. They are thin-walled aerial bombs. It carries small-caliber submunitions (up to 20 kg). There are several types of this bomb, differing in the type of submunitions.
Characteristics of RBC-500:
- Length - 1 954 - 2 500 m
- Caliber - 450 mm
- Weight - 480 -525 kg
Earlier, the Su-35S fighters were called effective against Western AASM-250 HAMMER and JDAM-ER aerial bombs. They will intercept with R-77-1 missiles at a distance of up to 60-70 km.
