OVERVIEW: 250kg General-Purpose Bomb (GPB) is a versatile aerial munition designed for use against a wide range of targets including personnel, unarmored vehicles, structures, and lightly fortified positions. It delivers a powerful blast and fragmentation effect upon detonation, making it effective for both strategic and tactical bombing missions.

DETAILS: Typically consists of a steel casing filled with high-explosive material and is equipped with impact or delay fuzes to allow detonation on contact or after penetration. It is commonly carried by fighter-bombers, attack aircraft, and multirole platforms. The bomb’s size offers a balance between destructive power and aircraft payload capacity, allowing for multiple bombs to be carried per sortie. Its design enables effective use in both precision and area bombing roles.
