Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense | | Russian term or phrase: полусотка | Context from http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jDvW1iH...
Подойдя к цели, мы отклонились на северо-запад, чтобы переждать бомбардировку. Несмотря на осветительные бомбы, обзор города был плохой - дым пожарищ застилал целые кварталы. В южной части города заработало несколько эрликонов. Экипажи братского полка быстро успокоили их, заложив серию из четырёх полусоток. |
| | | English translation:FAB-50 | Explanation:
"заложив серию из четырёх полусоток" — "dropped 4 FAB-50s in a row" and a foot note like this
The Russian term for general-purpose bomb is fugasnaya aviatsionnaya bomba, abbreviated FAB and followed by the bomb's nominal weight in kilograms.
