Italian Bombs
Italian Bombs
Hi-
I just went through the explosive ordnance Book on Italian , ordnance, and I noticed it lacked any references to the Motobomba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motobomba bomb's, and I was wondering if it is posable that they missed anything else, for example there are no SAP or AP bombs listed at all beyond or larger than what is shown below:
Does anyone have reference for other bombs that are SAP or AP beyond what the reference indicates ?

Re: Italian Bombs
There is a 106kg SAP bomb relatively common. For AP bombs only very rare in war 630kg prototypes dropped by Reggiane 2001 , there are also some 420kg and i think a bigger one. But this are very rare. I don't know if they ever were employed.
Re: Italian Bombs
The 106 kg SAP is likely the 104kg listed above unless u ment 160kg ?
Re: Italian Bombs
Yeah i meant 160kg , my mistake.
Re: Italian Bombs
Still trying to find penetration Values for the Italian SAP bombs:
15 kg SAP
31 kg SAP
100 kg SAP
104 kg SAP
160 kg SAP
420 kg SAP
630 kg SAP
These later two are Rare or experimental ? Strikes me as odd that there is such a big gap past the 160 kg SAP, but not knowing the 160 KG SAP penetration value is a hindrance in judging there capability's against ships
Found this, am I reading that right it could penetrate 90 mm ? :
15 kg SAP
31 kg SAP
100 kg SAP
104 kg SAP
160 kg SAP
420 kg SAP
630 kg SAP
