General Purpose Bombs • The 312kg and 505kg general purpose bombs use unitary blast warheads and can be dropped as unguided freefall bombs or fitted with a retarder unit, allowing aircraft to drop a bomb at low level over the target and get clear before detonation. • Both bombs have three modes of detonation: above a target in airburst mode, impact detonation, or post-impact detonation after a pre-set delay.
