The FAB-500 is a Soviet-designed 500-kilogram general purpose air-dropped bomb with a high-explosive warhead, used by the Russian Aerospace Forces and other countries. The original M-54 model was introduced in 1954, and later variants include the low-drag M-62 version and the UMPK-guided model with precision satellite guidance. The FAB-500 has been used in various conflicts, including the 1980s Soviet-Afghan War, the 2011-2019 Syrian civil war, and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the latter conflict seeing the use of UMPK-equipped glide bombs.learn more on wikipedia
