Planning bombs of the Russian Federation affect the eastern front of Ukraine and have devastating consequences - the media

John Forman, a former UK defense attaché in Moscow, said that the facults are not so effective than JDAM but much cheaper. Russian planning aircraft alignment is changing the war on the Eastern Front of Ukraine. This is stated in Independent. The author Tom Wotling noted that winged aircraft weighing up to 1500 kilograms have a devastating impact where they were not used.

Ukrainian troops fight this as they can, but need Western allies to activate and provide more weapons, ammunition and air defense. The article states that the recently modified Russian warheads of Fab-1500 (the number associated with their weight in kilograms) caused significant damage. Ukraine also uses managed bombs like Fabs, known as a direct attack (JDAM) combat ammunition system, but the number of American weapons is much smaller.

John Forman, a former UK defense attaché in Moscow, said that the facults are not so effective than JDAM but much cheaper. In the end, it is much easier for Russian troops than JDAM for Ukraine. "In fact, it is blunt unmanaged bombs of the Soviet era with smart wings added to them to attack fixed goals with a certain degree of accuracy," - said Forman, the former attaché. The bomb can also be adjusted by satellite or laser navigation. This increases its accuracy.

The Russian warhead is a modified version of the Soviet Fab Auction Aircraft, the first of which, Fab-2550, was developed in 1946. These models with warheads discharged from air, which are tolerated by fighters, have considerable explosion power. Unlike their predecessors, all of which were particularly powerful, it was equipped with wings that allow him to fly to the target, turning it into a managed, not unmanaged, explosive.

Fab-1500 contains 675 kg of explosives, can be released from a distance of 40 to 70 km from the target and has a radius of the lesion of 200 meters. Russian military bloggers called him a "destroyer of buildings". We will remind, on April 1, as stated in ISW, troops of the Russian Federation will be able to start a large -scale offensive in one operational direction.
