Historical Information

The FAB-9000 M54 bomb was one of the largest conventional aerial bombs of the postwar era in the arsenal of the Soviet Air Force. Its total weight reached as much as 9 tons, and the design allowed for the destruction of heavily fortified ground targets, including bunkers, bridges, and railway lines. It was widely used during the Cold War and in later conflicts, primarily finding application in large-scale operations where the use of extremely high explosive power was required. For example, high-mass FAB bombs were carried by strategic bombers such as the Tu-16 and Tu-95. This bomb was in service during the 1950s and 1960s, a key period in the development of aviation technology in the USSR.
