Can anybody provide a positive identification of the bombs in the attached picture.
I believe they may be Spanish BRI 400 bombs found in Iraq.

Does anyone have any information about these items?

Many thanks

Hi Pete

I take it you've Googled BRI 400? I did and found this.... http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Encyclopedia/Entry2769.aspx. It looks the same as your photo but without knowing dimensions etc, I can't be sure. It looks like a standard French 400kg. I've got some information on the BRI 400: if you send me a PM I'll try and retrieve it and send it on.

Regards

Dave aka eodda
