The AB 250-3 (Abwurfbehälter) was an anti-personnel cluster bomb used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.

The AB 250-3 could be suspended horizontally within a bomb bay or fuselage or wing hardpoint.

The nose compartment housed the fuze pocket which was welded to a bracket on the upper half of the container.

The two halves were held together by a shear wire which passed through a steel anvil, in the lower part of the fuze pocket.

The containers were painted dark green with two longitudinal red stripes on tail cone.
