Russian glide bombs are a very effective weapon, which American journalists attribute to the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) counteroffensive. In a comment about it “Tapes.ru” said Vasily Dandykin, captain of the first rank of the reserve, a military expert.
The interlocutor of the publication noted that in the process of terminating conventional shells, planning bombs are created. The ammunition became controllable and received wings, which made it possible to increase the security of Russian aircraft from Ukrainian air defense systems.
According to Dandykin, such projectiles are fired at the target after certain coordinates are received. At the same time, the planning bombs do not enter the destruction zone of the Ukrainian air defense, and at the same time calculate the path within a few tens of kilometers.
“The stockpile of explosives is so large that it causes massive destruction in enemy strongholds, destruction of equipment, ammunition, etc.,” said the expert.
He made it clear that Russian soldiers mostly used Soviet aerial bombs FAB-500 and their modifications FAB-1500. The armed forces of the Russian Federation also have more powerful ammunition, but the specialist has not yet heard of their use.
“This (FAB-1500. – socialbites.ca) is a fairly inexpensive type of modernization of these bombs, but the effect is quite effective. They really benefit Russia with a special military operation,” Dandykin summarized.
