I found on many places on web that there were two variants of yugoslavian bomblets from cluster warhead for 262 mm M-87 "Orkan" rocket-KB-1 and KB-2.A few sources claim that KB-2 was a bomblet with larger amount of haxatol explosive and without steel balls liner added from the outside.I know that a variant KB-1 has steel balls liner from the outside of the bomblet.
But I didn't find anywhere a good photo of KB-2 bomblet except a drawing from some book.If any of you have a photo of KB-2 yugoslavian bomblet,please can you post it here:tinysmile_shy_t:?

Also were KB-2 bomblets just a prototype or M-87 rocket warheads with those bomblets were in use during the civil war in ex-Yugoslavia?
 
i have kb1 and kb2 on desk in my office. i will take some pics and send it to you.

kb1 is used in Orkan cluster warhead, kb2 is used in large caliber shells, 122mm and above.
 
KB2 with missing band

KB1 opened during execution of EOD procedure

Hi Goran, here a drawing of the KB-1 and KB-2, as well as some pictures. Please send me your Email adress, I still have a cutaway drawing of the KB-1 and B-2, which regretfully seems to be too large (as JPG , PDF or BMP) to post here.
Regards DJH

Thanks al'saad and pzgr40:tinysmile_grin_t:!!Excellent pics!!Are the external dimensions of KB-2 the same as the dimensions of KB-1?

dimensions are same, as those bomblets were designed for same containers.
