Russian Bombs and weapons..

Getting my WAPJ devoted to the Hind...

Swatter missiles are generally flat army green (a little lighter than olive drab); unguided rocket pods are usually gray (often with the muzzles a darker shade than the main tube); Spiral/Shturm tubes are flat olive brown with blue/yellow bands on the muzzles. Auxillary fuel tanks are usually steel gray with white fins. One picture of a Hind from India shows it armed with OFAB-250 bombs (250 kg/550 lbs; probably general-purpose type): these are gray with white fins and white bands on the front. There is another picture of a Croatian Air Force Hind with two other types of bombs (air show park display). My guess is that the one type is a variation on the GP bomb, while the other (which looks like a huge shotgun shell with fins...overall olive brown) might be a napalm or cluster bomb dispenser.

Hope this helps!
