Nice pics. They missed that little rocky hump on that island, though. Their Southern grampas would've hit it flying these

hard to hit anything with a pair of free falling 250 bombs.

Seeing that they are still sporting the old ZSh-3 (Mig-17) helmets is the biggest surprise to me. If they are willing spend billions on the new birds, they should fork out little bit extra to upgrade the helmets. (ZSh-7 with HMS would be nice)

The point of practice bombs is they fall like the real ones. Thus, they should be hitting the target, just not doing as much damage as if hit by a 500 lb. bomb.
