== Description ==
''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|mig-21_f13}}
* {{Specs-Link|su-7b}}
* {{Specs-Link|su-7bkl}}
* {{Specs-Link|su-7bmk}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the incendiary.''

=== Effective damage ===
''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of incendiary (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of incendiarys that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe situations when you would utilise this incendiary in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''

'''Pros:'''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

== Media ==
''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the article about the variant of the weapon;''
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''

 == Description ==
 ZB-360 (ЗБ-360), like [[ZB-500 incendiary|ZB-500]], is a incendiary bomb "drop tank" specific for earlier Soviet attackers or interceptors; the number 360 refers to its tank diameter of 360 mm.
@@ Line 27: / Line 28: @@
 === Effective damage ===
 Like ZB-500 with a larger diameter, ZB-360 does "napalm" (incendiary and explosive) damage against enemy targets; to lighter vehicles or those with open-top turrets, the former might be flipped over by the explosion or set ablaze, while the latter would face lethal damage from the high-temperature flames. Using it to burn down enemy base/airfield is viable.

 == Usage in battles ==
 Since ZB-360 is among the ZB series incendiary bombs, like ZB-500, it is very unlikely a few of these can take down an entire armored column, maybe just some of them with very light armor or open-topped; either by burning them down or sometimes blow away vehicles. While a line of napalm fire could be visually pleasing, this is not the case for any TVD devices both on armored vehicles or attackers as the intense heat will blind their TVDs. It can also be used for bombing run against bases/airfields albeit its lesser napalm content, having slightly more damage to light weight GP bombs per bombing run.

 == History ==
 Like its larger counterpart ZB-500, ZB-360 was designed to burn down enemy's infrastructures and wooden structures, as well as vehicle convoys and their combatants; having SKS and AP-10 napalm mixture at its disposal (ZB-360 and 360R respectively).
