REMARKS – This bomb can be distinguished from the FAB-100 only by the red body band. The explosive filling detonates upon initiation by the APUV fuze. The small incendi-ary bombs contain a thermite charge, which is ignited by an ingnition train located in the fuze pocker. The individual ignition trains are initiated by the detonation of the main filler, which also scatters the small bombs. |
