Russia starts production of new KABs: they will be able to deliver to Kyiv, — Reuters
According to him, among these 120,000 are new bombs and modernized aerial bombs equipped with wings or engines to reach targets that are located at a distance of tens of kilometers. The publication says that Russia releases between 200 and 250 cruise bombs every day, and last month the average daily number was about 170. Skibitsky stressed that although these munitions can be shot down, such a mass poses a "serious threat.
" These bombs, the range of which was previously estimated at 90 km, allow the enemy to strike without crossing the front lines. They are cheaper than rockets and contain explosives weighing several hundred kilograms that can penetrate buildings and fortifications. GUR added that the Russian Federation plans to produce almost 500 such munitions with a flight range of up to 200 km by the end of the year.
In particular, work is ongoing on modifications for a range of up to 400 km, and this "will enable Moscow to hit even more Ukrainian cities and towns without the use of missiles. " In addition, the deputy head of the GUR drew attention to the increase in the production of Russian drones. In 2025, the Russian Federation will produce a total of almost 70,000 long-range drones, 30,000 of which are of the Shahed type.
