"light" bombs, like ao-25 and similar, for la-5/7...

only some examples are attached (last photo, if i'm not mistaken, czech la-5fn)...

it's not whim, it's for tactical freedom when you need attack weapon, but not big bombs, well, something like "free hunt" for fighters and fighter-bombers and when you can fight even with bombs under wing and later do your AG mission...

well, this is what all times was need personally for me in online (wars, simple missions etc) and, think, for many pilots too...

and, in fact, this need do for some yaks and p-39 etc too, just here we really see and know from sources what these bombs were used on las for attack missions, especially, in 44-45...

and confirmation of real pilot -

На Ла-5 (и Ла-7, кстати, тоже) имели под каждой плоскостью по одному бомбодержателю. Бомбы использовали разные. Когда только начали, то бомбили бомбами по 25 и 50 кг – ФАБ-25 и ФАБ-50...

...Потом решили рискнуть еще раз, и стали подвешивать обычные «сотки» – ФАБ-100. «Сотки» использовали и на Ла-7.

...Успешно бомбили, наш полк с 1944 года уже был специально «заточен» под нанесение бомбардировочных ударов. Часто поручали.
