“Aviation continues to operate in all directions. The 114th Brigade is destroying the battalion command post of the occupiers on the left bank of the Dnipro,” stated the message published on the channel.
Command Post in the Village of Chelburda
Analysts from the CyberFlour resource reported that the targeted Russian command post was located in houses in the village of Chelburda in the Kherson region. For the strike, the Ukrainian Air Force selected GBU-39 bombs, known for their precision and efficiency.
These high-precision laser-guided bombs weigh about 130 kilograms and have a range of up to 110 km when dropped from high altitudes. The bombs’ aerodynamic design includes wings that unfold mid-flight, enabling them to hit long-range targets.
Effectiveness of the GBU-39 Bombs
The GBU-39 bombs are designed to penetrate concrete shelters, thanks to a tungsten tip that enhances their penetration capability. During the operation, the MiG-29 jets, originally designed during the Soviet era, were modified to integrate this type of Western weaponry, significantly enhancing the capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force.
