BetAB-500SzP


Betab-500SzP (Russian БетАБ-500ШП) - Soviet anti-aircraft bomb to 500 kg.

The BetAB-500SzP can be equipped with a low-level parachute drop (the discharge is only possible at subsonic speeds). Parachute not only brakes the bomb, but additionally provides a vertical impact on the target which increases the penetration. When the parachute decelerates, it is discarded and the rocket engine is launched, with nozzles disposed around the parachute container, accelerating the bomb. The bomb explodes deep below the surface. In the case of attacks on runways, the surface of the belt destroyed by one bomb is approximately 50 m² (wheel with a radius of 7 m).

The successor to the Betab-500SzP is the new Betab-500U. Bibliography
