History

The SC250JA was a German aerial-dropped bomb used during World War II. Developed by the Luftwaffe, it was part of a family of general-purpose bombs and played a significant role in the German bombing campaign. The "SC" in its designation stands for "Sprengbombe Cylindrisch," which translates to "cylindrical high-explosive bomb" in English. These bombs typically had a cylindrical body and were filled with explosives.

The SC250JA had a weight of 250 kilograms, making it a medium-sized bomb in the Luftwaffe's arsenal. It was employed in various roles, including strategic bombing missions against enemy cities and industrial targets, as well as tactical strikes on military installations and infrastructure. These bombs were often carried by German bombers, such as the Junkers Ju 88 and Heinkel He 111.
