Ukraine has completely copied the “SVO hit” – the UMPK module for aerial bombs

22 311 8

The Ukrainian design bureau "Medoed" has published video footage of tests of its analogue UMPK (universal planning and correction module), designed for unguided aerial bombs FAB-500. The tests were conducted from the Su-24M frontline bomber.

According to the developer, in the current configuration, the module allows the bomb to glide to a distance of up to 60 km. In the future, it is planned to increase the range to 80 km - depending on the conditions of use, primarily the drop altitude and the tactics of performing the combat mission.




Visually, the Ukrainian planning module largely copies the Russian UMPK, a significant number of which, according to reports, were delivered to the Ukrainian side practically undamaged. According to many military experts, the UMPK largely changed the course of the SVO in Russia's favor.

The operating principle is also similar - a controlled module provides the bomb with the ability to glide with navigation. The current version uses a Ukrainian navigation unit, but in the future it is planned to integrate a French guidance system to increase resistance to electronic warfare (EW).

Ukraine has completely copied the “SVO hit” – the UMPK module for aerial bombs

According to the Ukrainian side, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have a constant need for 100 guided air bombs daily. However, Western supplies of high-precision air weapons – such as JDAM-ER, AASM Hammer and GBU-39/B SDB – do not fully meet these needs.

It is worth noting that in recent months, Ukrainian aviation has significantly increased the intensity of the use of Western guided aerial bombs. Most often, such strikes are carried out from frontline areas with a sharp increase in altitude after the release of the munition. Despite individual cases of Ukrainian aircraft being hit, Russian forces have not yet managed to completely block the airspace from such a threat - especially in the conditions of intense electronic warfare and the dense use of guided munitions.

    If things continue like this, Kyiv will even copy a nuclear bomb.

      It is possible to copy a bomb, but where can I get highly enriched raw materials for a nuclear charge?

    We are told that our weapons can reach any point in Ukraine, why then do they still have planes flying

    Well now we only need AWACS planes to shoot down such launchers on approach, otherwise we'll have corpses of ordinary Russian guys again. Uzbeks, Tajiks and other favorites of inkwells like Matvienko won't go to war. And who will build them? Effective managers?

    I don’t understand why Ukrainian aviation still exists.

      I agree with you. I also don't understand at all how the Ukrainian fascists still have Soviet planes!
      Either they learned to produce them, or they lied to us about their quantity initially and are lying about the quantity destroyed.

    Why would they copy this if the French and Americans supply ready-made bombs with UMPKs?

    Well, here we are! Keep on dragging out the sluggish "creeping offensive" and we'll wait for even more Ukrainian weapons. So, deadly drones are already being made in every barn!
