As known after WWII Yugoslav army used lot of German weapons from captured stocks or from war damage repatriations. Also Yugo military industry produced German designed weapons. For example TMM1/T.Mine43, PM M53/MG42, M48 riffle/Kar98 etc. It also modified some German ammo like Spr.Gr. 88mm with US det M21A2 and M51A5 fuse threaded to fit AZ fuse pocket and designated UTU PD M51A5P2 which is used up to nineties.

Among those conversions there were also aircraft bombs FAB250J and PRAB250J modified from SC250 and SD250.

FAB250J is GP bomb modified from the SC250. A side fuse pockets are removed and a nose and tail fuse pockets are installed to fit AVU-E and AVU-ET Russian fuses. Also hanging lugs are removed and replaced with 14" lugs on the one side and 250mm lugs on the opposite.
