German journalist: Russia has increased the range of destruction of targets by Soviet air bombs by 7 times

12

Western experts continue to watch the Ukrainian conflict with interest and inform the residents of their countries. Thus, German journalist and military observer for the Bild publication Julian Repke confirmed that the use of aerial bombs with universal planning and correction modules (UMPC) has become one of the trump cards of the Russian Aerospace Forces during the ongoing hostilities.

The expert found out that Russian specialists managed to increase the range of Soviet air bombs seven times, bringing it to 70 km. At the same time, the reserves of Soviet air bombs are significant.



He explained that the Russians first attached the mentioned devices - UMPC - to the aerial bombs. Then they were able to improve these UMPCs several times, bringing them to the required characteristics. As a result, free-falling bombs, having received wings and a rudder, became controlled precision weapons.

The Russians drop them from Su-34 fighter-bombers, which have multiple hardpoints. FAB-250/500 and other aerial bombs with UMPC flying in the sky look like drones. However, according to the journalist, currently Ukraine does not have enough air defense systems to stop them and the ground units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are under enormous pressure due to constant and numerous air strikes.

      If I’m not mistaken, the first time such a modernization of old American bombs supplied to Ukraine was reported in the fall of the 22nd.

    How can you call this ideological grandson of Goebbels a journalist? He is a real Nazi propagandist.

      What is the meaning of journalism? When the German reader begins to be interested in the topic of vegetable gardening, turnips will write about potatoes. What they pay for is what they write about.

        No, then this journalist will write that the Germans’ potatoes grow poorly because of the Russians!

          I'm more interested in professionalism and not ideology. when they were chasing von Braun’s drawings, no one cared about his ideology. and this turnip is just as much a woodpecker and a laughing stock as the Podolek.

        This “journalist” and his newspaper have long been famous for their Russophobia.

    Imagine, if you will, the glide bombs they are now making for use when they use up the soviet static bombs.

    Western experts continue to watch the Ukrainian conflict with interest and inform the residents of their countries.

    This helps them overcome the energy crisis and, probably, the desire to overcome it.

    It was 20, now it’s 70 - it won’t be enough. If only 140 km would be 7 times and very good.

    Some kind of incorrect headline: ordinary free-falling bombs, in principle, do not have “distance” as a tactical characteristic; they, in principle, acquired this after they were equipped with UMPC. Yes, it is clear that conventional bombs dropped from a flying bomber travel a certain distance horizontally and this must be taken into account during ordinary, “stupid” bombing, but this cannot be used as a tactical opportunity; anyway, a plane with conventional bombs must be more or less above the bombed positions

    This turnip goes, an aerial bomb cannot look like a UAV, there is no thermal signature, it can also be shot down only in theory.
