Well if i had to guess. i counted 28 smokes, which means 30 bomblets.
Which brings us to only two possible conclusions:
RBK-500-375 with x30 AO10SCz filling
To me, it looks like the Su-24 dropped multiple bombs.

Probably the sweet spot of the VKS detachment would be 12-18 Su-24M-SVP24, 10-12 Su-34s, and 6 Tu-22Ms too! Given the expected ground fight perhaps 18 or even 24 Su-25SM would be indicated, not to mention at least a squadron each of Mi-28N and Ka-52! All covered by a 12-16 Su-30SM/Su-35S and/or Su-27SM.
http://fortruss.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/russian-bombers-and-isis-are-match-made.htmlExperts say that in Syria such a variety of combat aircraft is not necessary. ISIS does not have their own aircraft, so our fighters Su-27 or MiG-29 are not needed. Drones can be used for the scouting. For carrying out bombing strikes on the terrorists Su-25 and Su-24M front-line bombers are perfect. The sighting-navigation system PNS-24M "Tiger" on the Su-24M allows the pilot the ability to drop to a height of 50 meters and follow the terrain in the automatic mode. It is very difficult to shoot down this plane, especially since it can drop bombs and shoot missiles many miles ahead of the target.
To intercept what? The terrorists have no air force.

Su-30SM are multi-role aircraft. What exactly are they being used for in this Syrian conflict?

Insight from friends living in south Russia:
Many trains, not even hiding with tanks\apc\trucks in desert coloring day and night passing in direction of Black Sea. I don't know what is it, ground operation, or help with equipment for SAA? Anyway, i guess there still will be surprises.

LOL GOOD. People in TOWN and CITY'S are rebelling also. THEY ARE TAKING THEIR HOME RIFLES AND SNIPPING ISIS SOLDIERS ON THE STREETS, THEIR RUNNING THEM OVER WITH THEIR CARS. They are ambushing them on the streets and kill them and letting women put the final death blow on them to insure their trip to hell. GREAT. God Bless Russia.
