I was wondering with the Russian Fab bombs are they painted with certain markings to denote what kind of explosives they are filled with or whether they are for training or not? The Americans do so with the MK80 series?
Also the Americans put a special fire retardent coating on the MK-80 series of bombs for use on aircraft carriers. Do the Russians do the same?

Finally, does India use the FAB series of bombs?

India uses all types of fab bombs .
Recently orderd kab 1500 ones from Russia
We manufacture ofab 250 , fab 500 etc in india itself.
These are mostly used with rusian planes like mig 29 and su 30 mki
They will ve replaced by a new range of general purpose munitions developed by drdo.
