During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, rapid technology development occurred to iterate on design of racing drones into a type of FPV loitering munition. Aimed a very low-cost and high production volume, the heavy-duty version of the Escadrone attack drone was modified to carry a 2 kg (4.4 lb) PTAB 2.5 anti-tank bomb.
The explosion of the OF-420 shell, with the fuse set to the fragmentation action, resulted in damage to 90% of targets in the 6 to 14 meters area and to 50% of targets in a 20 to 42 meter area. When the fuse was set to high-explosive action, the shell created a hole 1–1.5 m in diameter and 40–60 cm deep in average soil.
OFAB - a high-explosive fragmentation bomb is a regular high-explosive bomb, but with a lower explosive filling of about 30-35%, and special means of organized crushing of the body, such as a sawtooth inner side of the body or a system of longitudinal and transverse grooves (although on outdated models they might not have been installed).

The KAB-1500LG-F-E has an impact fuze which includes 3 different delay modes for target attack and it can also be mounted on older aircraft, like the Sukhoi Su-24 and the Mikoyan MiG-27. [2] The bomb has been used in the Russian military campaigns in Chechnya and Syria. The weapon has been reported as being used during the Russo-Ukrainian War ...

Aircraft can carry this bomb with a single-point suspension bomb rack or on 14” NATO standard suspension systems, using the corresponding fuze type. On 26 April 2024, 6 photos surfaced online, taken somewhere in Russia, which appeared to show a crashed Swift 2 fitted with a single OFAB-100-120 bomb in a centreline type rack.
