In the video, the detailed process of installing the FAB-3000 bomb on the Su-34 aircraft can be observed. Subsequently, the launch of the bomb is documented, demonstrating the precision and effectiveness provided by the UMPK guidance kit.
The FAB-3000, a three-ton bomb, is renowned for its destructive power. The addition of the UMPK guidance kit significantly enhances its accuracy and range, making it an effective and lethal tool. The bomb has an effective destruction radius of 230 meters and an explosion radius of up to 1,200 meters.
These bombs, equipped with a gliding and correction system, allow Russian aircraft to strike targets at a distance of about 70 kilometers, thus avoiding enemy air defenses.
The mass use of glide bombs by Russia is a relatively recent development, which has proven devastating to Ukrainian forces in recent months. The glide bombs are constructed from old Soviet explosive artifacts, to which folding wings and satellite navigation are added, forming a cheap and destructive weapon. Additionally, they are difficult to intercept in the air by air defenses.
