ODAB 500 FAE Bomb

Main charge liquid filler: Tetranit, 193 kilograms (426 pounds), 200 liters (52.83 gallons) estimated volume; consisting of a mixture of Toluene, Isopropyl nitrate, and several other non-identified substances in smaller amounts.
 
Thanks Mike, I had the Tetranit fill, but couldn't find out what it was. Any idea on the ratio of the Toluene and Isopropyl Nitrate?
Do you have a reference for this?

Cheers

Pete

As I see it there are maybe 3 or 4 different models of the ODAB 500, I could only find this one filler and I do not know the ratios. came from notes I took on USSR bombs a few years ago

ammo albums? I'd like some ammo albums
 
Not sure which ODAB, do you have info on all?

ODAB-500 - probably ethylene oxide.
ODAB-500P - 145 kg of piperylene.
ODAB-500PM - 193 kg of piperylene
ODAB-500PMV talks about 193 kg, but I`m not sure and don`t know mixture.
