The P-100 is a 100 kg unguided, low-drag general-purpose bomb developed in Indonesia. It is designed primarily for use on Russian-standard combat aircraft to engage surface targets during air-to-ground operations or for training purposes.[3]
The bomb is part of the "P Series" family, developed through a partnership between Sari Bahari, which manufactures the bomb casing, and Dahana, which provides the explosive filling.[4] The P-100 is the smallest variant in the P Series family, which also includes the P-250 and P-500 models.[5]
Variants
- P-100P (Practice)
The P-100 Practice bomb is used for pilot training on Russian-standard fighter aircraft. It is designed without a live fuse and emits thick white smoke upon impact, allowing pilots and instructors to verify the accuracy of bombing runs.[6]
- P-100L (Live)
The P-100 Live is the high-explosive version of the bomb. It shares the same aerodynamic characteristics and weight as the practice variant but contains 43 kg of live explosives. It is intended for neutralizing personnel, destroying buildings, and damaging bunker foundations over a wide area.[3]
Operators
The Indonesian Air Force utilizes both Live and Practice variants for its Russian-made fleet, specifically the Sukhoi Su-27 and Sukhoi Su-30.[7]
In August 2023, Sari Bahari completed its first export of 500 units of the P-100P (Practice) to the Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF). The bombs were successfully tested on Vietnamese Su-30 aircraft.[8]
