    French modular bomb

    Hi Folks. In a list in Jane's Weapon Systems of 1982 there is a modular bomb of French origin. But this is all I know about. It is said, that it divides in three independant bombs when droped. That's all I could find out. No pictures, no further information. Does anybody know more about this bomb?
