Great! This is maybe famous in Eastern Europe, but not well known here where I live.

Not sure if this is real or photoshop, though I know the AN-32 has the capability.  Either way, a different sort of bomber:

The falling bombs have a cut-and-paste/modify feel to them. So, Photoshop would be my guess ... but nicely executed.

Yep.

My first though was "How are they being dropped? They're not just being rolled out of the cargo bay & off the ramp, so where are the trolleys/slings?" ???

According to here the Indians developed a removable roller conveyor on guide rails in the cargo bay, carrying four 500lb/250kg bombs.
