Romanian light bombs

[leonardus]

Hello,

Can somebody tell us what was the standard romanian bomb for (very) light bombing ? I mean what kilos had. Some sources say the 10 kg, some 12 kg, and other the 12,5 kg. If any other was used I'm happy to know what.

In 1941, the smallest bomb was the 1 kg incendiary bomb. There were also 9 kg and 12 kg bombs. There were also 4 lb and 20 lb bombs.

Can you enlarge a little this list to know about romanian ww2 bombs used ?
I know about the IAR factory which produced the 225kg and 50 kg bomb, but nothing else. Did we import other types from Germany ? Or from other source ? A little information here is extremely wellcome.
