Russian glide bombs pound Kiev's troops (VIDEOS)
Multiple new videos emerged online over the weekend, highlighting the continuing active use of free-fall aerial bombs fitted with winged upgrade kits. Russian aircraft have been deploying glide bombs to destroy Ukrainian forces' positions, as well as military installation in the near rear beyond the frontline. The Russian military has been actively using FAB bombs fitted with Universal Correction and Guidance Modules (UMPK) winged upgrade kits since early 2023. The winged module turns old free-fall bombs into guided high-precision munition, as well as drastically expands their range, allowing war planes to deploy the bombs without getting in the reach of anti-aircraft defenses. The UMPKs were initially used with smaller high-explosive bombs such as FAB-250 or FAB-500, making it to larger munitions, such as FAB-1500 and FAB-3000 later into the conflict. The upgrade kits have been also used with including thermobaric ODAB-1500 and cluster RBK-500 bombs. In one of the fresh videos, a purported massive FAB-3000 bomb is seen leveling a temporary deployment point of Ukrainian troops in the town of Kupyansk in Kharkov Region. The bomb is one of the most powerful in the series, weighing more than three tons. More footage, also from Kupyansk, purports to show a winged FAB-3000 bomb striking a building used as a command post by the Ukrainian military. Another drone video, filmed in the village of Borovaya, Kharkov Region, apparently shows a smaller-caliber winged bomb in action, likely a FAB-1500. The strike reportedly destroyed a temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, a neo-Nazi unit formed from the remnants of the notorious Azov regiment.
