The RM-10 Bombushka is a large cargo/gunship plane featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Bombushka was initially available as a mission-only vehicle. However, as of the RM-10 Bombushka Week commencing September 19th, it became available for purchase for all players.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The RM-10 Bombushka appears to be based on the Antonov An-12, with the cabin layout inspired by the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. The weapon configuration appears to be loosely similar to that of the North American B-25 Mitchell, while the roof and tail turrets themselves seem to be based on those on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress or the Tupolev Tu-4 "Bull". The technology on its interior appears to be of the Cold War era, most likely from the 1950's.
The Bombushka features a large fuselage, with a mostly glass nose and cockpit on the front, and an access ladder on the left that operates similarly to the Titan and the Shamal.
On the main section, the fuselage has two lower extensions on either side, while the wings mount the four large engines, the outer ailerons and the inner airbrakes that are automatically adjusted with the undercarriage extended. Each engine has long intakes and exhausts at the bottom, as well as markings that read "предупреждение" ("warning" in Russian).
The rear section features dual cargo ramp doors and a large tail/empennage assembly with a large vertical stabiliser and two smaller horizontal ones, each one with the corresponding control surfaces, while the underside houses a single wheel for the nose undercarriage and two wheels for each main/rear undercarriage, as well as two bomb bay doors.
The interior of the aircraft assumes a worn green appearance and is divided into three sections:
- The cabin area sits on the front and has a wide instrument panel with the same dial set from aircraft such as the Tula and the Mogul (albeit with Russian markings similar to the V-65 Molotok), in addition to the seats for the pilot and the front gunner. An inaccessible walkway leads to what appears to be the observation/navigation cabin, given the multiple instruments and switches.
- The control room sits in the middle of the aircraft and distinctively features two computer stations for the top and rear turret gunners, as well as a small bench on the left for two additional passengers. Numerous accessories are seen inside, including Cherenkov Vodka and Jack Howitzer posters, a small rack with Assault Rifles and a reel-to-reel recorder that move when the aircraft's engines are on. If there is room on the gunner seats, a player can switch seats between the control room and the copilot seat.
- The cargo bay at the rear is relatively small but is enough to accommodate a normal-sized vehicle. The same bay is separated from the rest of the interior.
The primary colour of the vehicle is applied to most of the aircraft's body, while the secondary colour is applied to the lower portions of the fuselage, the engines and the frontal turret. It uses a set of plain industrial wheels also used on the Titan.
The vehicle is armed with three remote turrets located below the nose, on top of the fuselage and the end of the rear/tail assembly, which appear to use the same gun model from the Technical and its variants (therefore being DShK machine guns). The front and rear turrets can be also modified with autocannons similar to the one from the FH-1 Hunter's chin-mounted gun (therefore being Hughes M230 30mm chain guns), while the aircraft can be equipped with bombs.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Vehicle[]
The Bombushka is extremely slow due to its size and weight, which, combined with its low mobility and slow take-off speed, can make it an easy target for enemies. However, it is very stable and the weapon options makes it a great contender in a fight. The aircraft has limited pitch angle and cannot increase or decrease altitude quickly, and as expected from a plane of this size, it cannot perform stunts without losing altitude quickly. Losing one or two propellers without major damage to the engines is not enough to bring the aircraft down, although its handling may become extremely sluggish. Surprisingly, files indicate it is lighter that the Titan, despite being larger in size.
Like the Titan, the Bombushka is powered by four turboprop engines, which emit the same distinctive cranking sound when starting the plane, as well as the heat effect produced in the exhausts of each engine, similar to jet-powered aircraft like the Shamal and the Luxor.
JATO[]
The aircraft can be equipped with eight JATO thrusters, which are intended for a near-instant take-off and quick acceleration. JATO thrusters propel the aircraft for 7.5 seconds and are recharged upon landing.
Armor/Defense[]
The armor of the Bombushka is poor, as it can be easily destroyed with a single explosive, although it can resist a homing rocket without exploding. Like the Titan, the Bombushka can withstand a hit against an obstacle without exploding, but its slow movement will likely cause it to plummet to the ground and consequently explode.
Countermeasures[]
The vehicle can be fitted with countermeasures to improve its defensive capabilities against homing missiles, each one with their own attributes:
- The Chaff countermeasure disrupts the targeting system from missile launchers, rendering them unable to lock on the aircraft for five seconds. They have a delay of five seconds before being used again and only have 10 uses.
- The Flare countermeasure drops various flares from around the rear of the aircraft, which can "disorient" the homing missile in order to avoid chasing the aircraft. They have a delay of three seconds before being used again and only have 20 uses.
- The Smoke countermeasure creates a trail of smoke that can disorient the enemy pilot, but its effectiveness is very limited, as the trail is large enough for a standard cockpit and the enemy pilot would just need to move away and follow the smoke trail. It has no delay between uses and can be used indefinitely.
Weaponry[]
The Bombushka is equipped with three remote turrets that can only be operated by independent gunners: a nose turret that has a rotation angle of 360 degrees and an elevation angle of between 5 and -60 degrees, a top turret that has a rotation angle of 360 degrees and an elevation angle of between -5 and 45 degrees, and a rear turret that has a limited rotation of 90 degrees (45 to a side) and an elevation angle of between 45 and -45 degrees. When used, the player is set in a camera view similar to the nose-mounted guns of the Valkyrie and the FH-1 Hunter.
- Dual MG: the first option for the nose and rear turrets are .50 caliber machine guns that have similar statistics to the machine gun turrets of the Insurgent Pick-Up and the Technical, having a base damage of 250 and a fire rate of 400 rounds per minute (almost on par with the Insurgent Pick-Up's fire rate of about 410 rounds per minute).
- Cannon: the second option is an explosive cannon that is similar to the Valkyrie's autocannon, having increased damage per shot and is devastating against most targets. However, it has half its fire rate (120 rounds per minute, compared to the Valkyrie's fire rate of 240 rounds per minute) but 2.5 times more range (500 meters/1,640 feet, compared to the Valkyrie's range of 200 meters/656 feet). The top turret is permanently fitted with this weapon.
- The vehicle has the option for installing bombs, providing heavy firepower against ground targets. There are four different Bomb choices: Explosive, Incendiary, Gas and Cluster;
- The Explosive option has high damage over targets from all ranges, meaning any target caught in the "edges" of the blast radius receive the same damage as in the "center".
- The Incendiary option creates a trail of fire similar to the Molotov Cocktail, burning the targets for a constant damage. Although the bombs are powerful at the center, it causes less damage on the "edges".
- The Gas option causes a noxious effect on players and NPCs on impact, similar to the Tear Gas. It has a slightly larger blast radius than the standard bomb, but is unable to damage vehicles. The gas lasts for around 25 seconds.
- The Cluster option creates a smaller explosion than the standard one on impact, but small clusters spread within its radius, allowing for greater damage over a single armored target.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The name "Bombushka" is a play on "Babushka/Бабушка", a Russian word for grandma or an elderly woman, however is coincidentally very similar to "Bombyozhka/Бомбёжка", the Russian word for bombing.
- Under the designation system of USAF, "RM" could stand for "Reconnaissance Multimission", which is quite true with the Bombushka's multipurpose appearance (Cargo, Gunship and Bomber). However, said ordering is odd, as "M" belongs to the "Modified Mission" group. "Reconnaissance" belongs to either the "Modified Mission" or the "Basic Mission" group (which in the second case, should be after "M"), while the letter that goes before the "Modified Mission" group is the "Status Prefix" (which does not have an "R" on it).
- While the Bombushka is defined as a Russian/Soviet plane and based on an aircraft of the same origin, as well as having the characteristic red star emblem on its fuselage, two of its liveries (specifically "Americana" and "Pinup") may add roundels used on USAF aircraft.
- The "Tally-ho" livery, on the other part, adds roundels and fin flashes that are used on RAF aircraft.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The Bombushka is the one of two available aircraft that displays the amount of bombs available on the HUD if the player has installed them, the other being the Volatol.
- This was later changed in a future update, and it no longer displays the amount of bombs available.
- By clipping the Rockstar Editor camera through the fuselage, one can see what appears to be a generic car texture set near the cargo bay, which is likely intended for the inner textures where the landing undercarriage are stowed.
- Similarly, one can see the "Flyer" texture set between the guns of the rear turret, commonly used on standard aircraft like the Maverick.
- The Bombushka features a unique stall warning sound, which is similar to that of the Mogul but lower-pitched.
- Applying any upgrades (except Armor/Engine/Handling/Respray) for the vehicle results in the cargo ramp becoming inaccessible by foot or vehicle.[2]
Bugs/Glitches[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- As of the The Cayo Perico Heist update, both the Volatol and the RM-10 Bombushka have issues with their ranged weapons, where the player will only be able to fire in very specific directions; furthermore, there appears to be a clipping issue when firing the cannons/machine guns, as the weapons will not follow the camera, and the camera itself seems to now clip through the plane.
