The bomb itself RBC-500 is a kind of shell that contains a certain amount of small-sized sub-barrels. They are designed to defeat targets in the squares.
Depending on the battle part of the RBC-500 may have: however, the authors note that the use of RBC-500 in the anti-tank performance of the Russian Federation was used in Syria. Even then, it was stated that the maximum distance of the lesion of the aircraft allegedly reaches 50 km from the target.
