In Ukraine, they talk about the "first used" UPAB-1500V air bomb by the Russian Aerospace Forces

March 5 2023

A year after the start of the Russian SVO in Ukraine, many "sharp" Ukrainian information resources, such as Defense Express, "suddenly" discovered that the Russian Aerospace Forces began to use the latest K029B-E (UPAB-1500V) high-powered air bombs against the Armed Forces of Ukraine - guided gliding munitions weighing 1525 kg.

Ukrainian experts, functionaries, military, analysts and journalists have been discussing for several weeks the fragments of UPAB-1500V found in the Chernihiv region, discovered on February 8 at one of the facilities used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed by the Russian Aerospace Forces strike. At the same time, the Ukrainian "patriots" do not forget to say that the use occurred for the first time and the use of such ammunition by the Russians "remains a single occurrence." Moreover, to ensure a greater range of their action, a “considerable height and depth” of the flight of bombers is required, which simplifies the detection of aircraft and ASP by the Ukrainian air defense system.

It should be noted that the Ukrainian "patriots" are mistaken, or rather, they are deliberately misleading their fellow citizens, hoping for a lack of memory in people. We remind you that the Russian Aerospace Forces have begun use UPAB-1500V during the CBO as early as March 2022, i.e. 12 months ago. Moreover, combat work is carried out on a regular basis, since there is no shortage of such ammunition.

In Ukraine, they talk about the "first used" UPAB-1500V air bomb by the Russian Aerospace Forces

The mentioned ammunition was put into service in 2019 and was tested in Syria. The high-explosive concrete-piercing warhead weighs 1010 kg and is capable of destroying powerful fortifications. An air bomb is dropped from a height of 14-15 km, after which it can safely glide along the earth's surface for another 40-50 km. In this case, the circular probable deviation (CEP) from the target does not exceed 10 m, which is not significant for ammunition with the indicated power.

With undisguised interest, we will observe what else the Ukrainian propagandists will find “for the first time applied” a year later.

This is all very good, of course, I am glad that after a year of hostilities we are finally starting to use modern advanced types and types of weapons, but it is still worth noting that the range of free planning of these bombs is still too small, designers and manufacturers still have work to do , American counterparts fly further, up to 80 - 100 km, and we also just need to strive to achieve such results.

  You just didn't notice that this is a 1,5t category bomb and there are no glide wings. This is a high-precision bomb, and whoever attributed "planning" to it - just hyped up.

Here's the joy ..... there is no shortage of such ammunition. Started using after a year...????? otherwise I already thought again and the UPAB-1500V was taken away to the dachas. A? like an outfit.

  Specially for you, the article is written in Russian in printed form:

  Are you "writers", where are you coming from, from the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug?

The plane still needs to reach its target. The Russian Federation does not have stratospheric, 25-30 km, bomber aircraft, and below 15 km they will be shot down. The war in Ukraine showed the need for stratospheric aircraft, airships, balloons, i.e. below the edge of space.

The second year (!) Went from the beginning of the so-called. The NWO, and even the essentially small Donbass, was not even close to being liberated. Moreover, the Ukronazis attack even initially Russian territories with impunity.. And a tough question arises for the Russian leadership - isn’t it time to throw off the white gloves and take on the Ukroreich and his Western accomplices in an adult way ?? Why the Nazi so-called. Ukraine has not yet been declared a terrorist state? Why does the status of CBO not change to CTO? Why is the critical infrastructure of the ukroreich not destroyed, incl. critical logistics and energy? Why are the ways / means of delivery of Western weapons not strictly suppressed? Why does Western satellite intelligence work freely? Why are strategic resources briskly flowing from Russia to the hostile West? And many other questions..From the Russian leadership-complete silence. Maybe it’s enough to fight according to some murky rules imposed on us, maybe it’s enough to look back at the West and some homegrown oligarchs?

  I am tormented by vague suspicions that all this is being done on purpose so that the Westerners get bogged down more and more, and if not, then thieves and traitors or fools.

And more spaceships and death stars need to be ordered.

Cool bomb. But it seems to me that the outbreak of media interest in it is intended to justify the use of such ammunition on the territory of Russia.

I don’t understand, you say that it won’t fly 40-50 km (if you drop it in the right direction) and they’re lying, are you all in white alone?

And for more than 50 km there is a CD.

  If you don't see any difference between ASTP and CR, then everything is very clear with you.

Marvelous! However, why, in this case, did the LBS somehow not change very well for us during the year?

UPAB-1500V is an excellent bomb. But very expensive. Therefore, there are few of them and their use is correspondingly limited. If there were enough of them, we would not have stood under Avdiivka for a whole year in one place. It would be crushed to dust in a week. Our army needs relatively cheap sets of retractable wings, with guidance and control devices for glonas, to install them on conventional high-explosive bombs of the FAB-250 type; 500; 1500; 3000. We have large stocks of these bombs. But aviation cannot use them en masse because of the unsuppressed air defense of the Nazis. Such kits would solve this problem. The Americans and Israel have long and successfully used them in their operations. The flight range and accuracy of such bombs is not inferior to UPAB. What prevents our military-industrial complex from establishing mass production of such kits is not clear. Maybe because they are much cheaper than UPAB and the profit from them is less? \ And where, then, is our Defense Ministry looking? Are they not the ones who determine in practice what the army needs and what should be purchased first of all?
