BAP 100
The BAP 100 (French:Bombe Anti-Piste 100 mm, Anti-Runway Bomb) is a French anti-runway cluster bomb developed in the mid-1970s, and which entered service with the French Air Force in the early 1980s. The bomb consists of eighteen submunitions, arranged in a cluster. Accelerated by an internal propulsion system, the munitions are designed to ensure total runway destruction in a single pass by aircraft.[1] Forty of the munitions were used by the French Air Force during the Ouadi Doum airstrike in 1986.
