        My guess is the Soviet LD- 250 chemical bomb. Kevin

          Kevin,
          It wasn't a chemical bomb (but your getting close)...

          Yours, Mike

            Well I also though fuel drop tank or propaganda leaflet pod. But my next guess would be nuclear since most Soviet bombs have enclosed tail fins to promote stablization and accuracy. You wouldn't need that for a nuclear device.

              I will go with HE (High Explosive).

                It's a Soviet nuclear training weapon called the IAB-500 (we called them load shapes in the AF). The Soviet bomb was called the 8U49, had a yield of 20kt.

                I'll give this one to Kevin, since looking up the nomenclature on the web would have taken quite some time (unless one happens to be an EOD troop or nuke weapons puke).

                Yours, Mike

                  Mike - That was indeed a hard question! I almost had to track down an 89D at work to ask.

                    Here is a relatively easy one. Where (town and location in town) and in what month did the graduates of of the Ernst Th******228;lmann Offiziershochschule der Landstreitkr******228;fte der NVA have their "commissioning" ceremony?
