Russian Aerospace Forces used a new D-30SN air bomb against the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Ukrainian information resources report that the Russian Aerospace Forces recently used a new aerial bomb against the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As evidence, photographs of the debris of this ammunition were published on the Internet.
The incident was brought to the attention of retired Russian military pilot, and now blogger and expert Ilya Tumanov, who on March 9 commented on the situation in his Telegram channel Fighterbomber.
Ukrainians appreciated our new product on the battlefield. This is UMPB D-30SN, which stands for Universal Interspecific Glide Ammunition 30 cm caliber
- the expert noted.
He explained that the UMPB D-30SN is actually a gliding bomb, the entire contents of which (equipment, wings and warhead) are placed in a “pipe” of a certain diameter.
Well, since this ammunition was called “interspecific”, it is clear that it can be launched not only by aviation, but also by MLRS of the Tornado-S type. In case of application from the ground, a jet engine is added to it. Aviation currently uses UMPB without an engine, but most likely this shortcoming will be corrected in the near future
– the blogger pointed out.
In his opinion, given the degree of resonance in the Ukrainian media and near-war publics, testing of the new Russian ammunition in real combat conditions is quite successful.
