The FAB-100 / 220 lb bomb entry covers Soviet 100 kg-class unguided aerial bombs, including FAB-100 and OFAB-100-120 family references. The class sits below 250 kg general-purpose bombs, uses standard aircraft suspension lugs, and appears in both legacy light-attack aircraft loadouts and recent conflict reporting on Syria and Ukraine.
Ukrainian forces adapted light-aircraft-style long-range UAVs to carry Soviet 100 kg bomb-class loads: The War Zone reported SkyRanger Swift wreckage fitted with an OFAB-100-120, and Defense Express later described FAB-100-class bombs as the previous load before larger FAB-250 UAV strikes.
Role detailsDeagel reports FAB-100 employment by Russian Air Force Su-24M and Su-25SM aircraft during the Syria air campaign, while AOAV profiled the OFAB-100-120 as a Syrian 100 kg-class unguided aircraft bomb.
