Description
The 10 kg SD10C was a German anti-personnel bomb, mainly used as a sub-munition in cluster bombs.
The grooves seen on the bomb's body ensured good fragmentation, similar to the Mk 2 "pineapple" hand grenade of the US.

| Bomb characteristics | |
|---|---|
| Mass | 10 kg |
| Explosive mass | 0.75 kg |

Effective damage
This bomb has an explosive power comparable to a 3-inch (76 mm) HE shell. Barely enough to destroy anything, even armoured cars and open vehicles, in which case multiple SD10C bombs are needed. The bomb lead indicator compensates for the low explosive power of the bomb in arcade battles by allowing for accurate drops.
Comparison with analogues
Because of its small size, there are no analogues.
Usage in battles
Because of the low explosive mass, it is only effective against extremely lightly armoured targets, such as the GAZ-AAA (4M), or the 15cm sIG 33 B Sfl.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Light and easy for new players to learn how to use ground attack weapons
- Effective against soft targets (AA, Artillery, open vehicles)
Cons:
- Too small to inflict damage to armoured targets (pillboxes, tanks)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
