Mk.I]] "Blockbuster" bomb with ~ 1,000 kg more TNT equivalent and slightly larger explosion radius. Other than this, the nearest counterpart is the British [[H.C. Mk.II (8,000 lb)|8,000 lb H.C.

-The bomb was designed by Soviet chemical engineer Nison Gelperin [ru] (1903-1989) in 1942. Gelperin projected and built bombs with tiny metal casings, in order to reduce the use of cast iron and aluminium. In Gelperin's developments, the metal casings represented only 35 percent of the bomb's weight.
+Historically the FAB-5000 was developed to target infrastructure like bridges and factories.
