First example of air-dropped cluster munition Ive seen
An RBK-500 reportedly in Zatoka Odessa These are
extremely nasty and can drop hundreds of submuntions

The local authorities in Zatoka also state they recovered an
RBK-250 another air-dropped cluster munition
The failure rate of these submunitions is high usually a large
proportion of bomblets do not detonate which frequently
end up injuring or killing curious children

RBK CLUSTER BOMB
Common airdropped clustered munition
The RBK weapons system is essentially a hollow metal container which houses a large number
of smaller munitions The weapon is deployed via aircraft and is compatible with the lightweight MiG interceptors 2123 used by the Syrian Airforce The Syrian Airforce also uses
the heavier SU 2224 ground attack aircraft to deploy larger payloads of RBK cluster bombs
Upon deployment from the aircraft the cluster
bomb splits oport and disperses its payload
The submunitions separate from the container
in some cases igniting in midair and blanket
a wide area making this a haphazard weapon
The RBK duster bomb can be fitted with a wide range of submunitions – in Syria the use of
incendiary fragmentation and anti-armor submunitions have been observed The dispersal
and subsequent detonation of the submunitions is highly dependent on both the altitude and
speed at the time of deployment The growing amount of unexploded ordinance in Syria would
seem to indicate inadequate training for pilots or the degradation of the weapons themselves
It is suspected that some of the RBKs deployed by the Syrian Airforce are older and contain submunitions whose chemical triggers have degraded over time contributing to a higher dud-rate The result is a significant risk to civilian populations as the unexploded ordinance can transform a large swath of land into a mine field
