Kiev is concerned about the increase in the range of planning ammunition of the Russian Federation

6

According to the press service of the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russian Armed Forces use about 20 planning bombs a day during the special operation. The main concern of Kyiv is the increase in their range to 70 km, while previously ammunition could operate at a distance of no more than 40-50 km.


The inability to cope with Russian planning bombs was stated, in particular, by Yuri Ignat, adviser to the command of the VVSU. At the same time, bombs are very effective at hitting Ukrainian military infrastructure.

The advantages of these weapons over analogues are also spoken in the West. So, in the article of the Military Watch Magazine it is indicated that the planning ammunition of the RF Armed Forces is much more accurate, so the aircraft can hit more enemy targets.

In addition, the presence in Moscow of the modernized S-300 air defense systems with a range of more than 400 km allows the Russian side to have more opportunities for the use of glide bombs.

The development of these munitions by Russian specialists began last year, military tests were carried out at the beginning of 2023. An important advantage of bombs is their relatively low cost in comparison with guided missiles while maintaining the accuracy of destruction.

      Of course, UMPC-equipped bombs "do not exist." And meteorites fall on the heads of Ukrainians. laughing

    Here's how it's turned out now! And I remember very well how a rank from the Moscow Region stated that a "surrogate WTO" is not needed for the VKS; such weapons will never replace the "real" (that is, "specially designed"!) .....! As a result ... neither "real", nor "surrogate" ....! (It’s only a pity that I don’t remember the name of this rank! Otherwise I would have sent him a letter to the Moscow Region with a reminder of his 4 power!

    I wonder what prevented you from doing this 10-15 years ago? After all, the United States and Israel have been producing and successfully using these weapons for 30 years. Here, you don’t even need a special mind to understand that these weapons and UAVs are extremely necessary for any army. But no, our generals and the military-industrial complex, for some reason, stubbornly, instead of cheap and effective UMPC FAB kits, bought and produced expensive KABs. And it seems that both sides were satisfied with this state of affairs. The more expensive the product, the greater the amount of the contract. It is clear that this is beneficial to the supplier, but why was the Ministry of Defense interested in this. Now, when intensive and prolonged hostilities are underway, it has become obvious to everyone that you simply cannot stock up on expensive and labor-intensive KABs. And our Defense Ministry, in the second year of the SVO, suddenly remembered that it had a lot of cast-iron FABs in its storerooms, and if you fix cheap UMPC sets on them, then they can be successfully used without entering the enemy’s air defense coverage area. And now the Ministry of Defense is making convulsive attempts to somehow resolve this issue with the production and procurement of UMPC, of ​​those that military-industrial complex enterprises can offer today. Judging by the reports of the Ministry of Defense on the use of 20-30 such FABs per day with UMPC, things went well and the ice broke, but so far this number is very small and clearly not enough, given the length of the front and the Nazi air defense that was not suppressed. But after all, for the belated resolution of this issue, specific people in the Moscow Region must answer. And these people have specific surnames.

    There was a case with the MiG-25, an ordinary bomb was thrown from 3 swings and a height of 20 km, so, if memory serves, it flew 120 km. And what prevents the Su-24M with the new Hephaestus imagination control system, it seems to be the name, from not launching conventional bombs from the maximum height and flight speed, target designation from Hephaestus should be in the KVO up to 50 meters soldier
