A Russian military soldier was shown disassembling a RBK-500 cluster bomb, which was an unexploded ordnance that had fallen. The Russian military intended to dismantle the submunitions inside this bomb and convert them into bombs dropped by drones. The RBK-500 cluster bomb contains more than 500 ShOAB 0.5 type submunitions. Although the scene of the Russian soldier disassembling the submunitions was quite frightening, theoretically, these submunitions will not explode in a stationary state because the safety of their fuses is only released when they are dispersed in the air and rotate at high speed.
Currently, the Russian military has already installed glide guidance kits on the RBK-500 cluster bombs, with a range of approximately 50-70 kilometers. This 500-kilogram cluster bomb can cover an area of 400*300 meters.
