Mike, don`t confused with bombs!The items described and translations ID these as ZAB 2.5's but the ZAB 2.5 I have been familiar with looksl\nothing line these. See attached photo of what I know as a ZAB 2.5 So questions is are we talking about the same muntion are is the one in the article a new version? The lettering on the cluster does clearly Id it as a ZAB 2.5. I also included a photo that was reported to me to be a burned out or crusted over incendiary sub any ideas here?

Mike it is a new(ish) version. They first started showing up in the Parade books in 1996 as available for export, so probably developed in the late 1980s?
EOD, either we are mis-communicating or I've been missing something. The basic ZAB was a WWII piece and has evolved since. I have never seen anything on the version referred to by Rogueadventurer prior to the 1990s however. If you have something earlier please share.

The earliest mentioning of these was in 1956, so they were developed somewhat before I think.
