18 × FAB-500 general purpose bombs on two underwing pylons of a Tu-22M

The FAB-500 is a Russian Air Force low-drag, general purpose, air-dropped bomb with a 500-kilogram high-explosive warhead. The first models of the bomb appeared in the early 1960s in the Soviet Union. The bomb is unguided, features a single nose fuze, and is compatible with most models of Soviet aircraft.[1] The FAB-500 has been used most recently over Syria by both Russian and Syrian warplanes.[2]
