In the Russian Federation, the "first" use of the bomb of offzab-500: what is the dangerous thermobar (video)

This airbag with the UMPC module is a fragmentary ammunition with a combined affected influence. Weapons are quite dangerous because the lesion radius reaches 290 meters. The Russian military declares the use of modernized AFZAB-500 Aviation Bombs, equipped with KMPC sets (unified planning and correction module), for strikes in the Armed Forces positions in the Kupyansk region.

These statements were accompanied by the publication of video materials allegedly removed from the drone, which demonstrate the use of ammunition. The event was commented on Defense Express. The material states that the statement about the novelty of the use of offzab-500 is not true. This type of bomb, designed to defeat both of living force and fortifications, has been used by Russian troops from the first days of a full -scale invasion.

For example, in March 2022, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine showed the demining of this bomb, which Russian aviation dropped on Chernihiv. At the same time, it is said that such bombs began to be equipped with UMPC modules, but this information appeared in April this year, emphasized in Defense Express. Thus, it is impossible to speak about the novelty of the use of this type of weapons, although this does not diminish the danger of the use of offzab-500.

The Russian Afzab-500 Air Bomb, developed by the Basalt State Educational Institution, is a fragmentary and thermal ammunition with a combined affected influence. Its main purpose is to destroy light armored vehicles, fuel and lubricants and other military facilities.

Unlike thermobaric ammunition, such as ODAB-500, or purely Fugas Fab-500, the offzab-500 has a narrow combat function, but combines three types of influence at once: technical parameters of ammunition: UFZAB-500 Aviation Air Air Aviation Aviation Air Force. , such as Su-34 fighter, front bomber Su-24M and Su-25cm Suhllovkhkhkhkhkhkhkhk.
