Default Re: German Cluster Bomb Units

The Soviets also had cluster bombs. Theirs included the RRAB-1, 2, and 3 models commonly refered to as "Molotov's breadbaskets." Incendinary, fragimentation, and gas bombs could be loaded into these cluster units. The RRAB 1 held 1064 2.2 lb ZAB-1 incendinaries or 240 AOKh -10 fragimentation bombs. the -3 model held 240 or 46 respectively.

The US also had incendiary cluster bombs as well as a cluster fragmentation type generally refered to as the "para-frag" bomb used widely in the SWPA theater.
