"Questions about the bomb": Experts discuss the bombing of the "Hunter" UAV at the "Ashuluk" training ground

Domestic and foreign experts and the press reacted to publications on the use of an aerial bomb dropped from the fuselage compartment by the promising unmanned aerial vehicle "Okhotnik". Recall that today in the Russian press (and this was reported by "Voennoye Obozreniye" in one of news materials) there was information about the use of an aerial bomb "caliber 500 kg) against a target at the Ashuluk training ground."

One of the issues being considered by foreign military experts in connection with the next flight test drone, is related to the “in what format” was the air bomb dropped? Questions about the bomb are raised in connection with the fact that it was announced that the Okhotnik strike UAV had the latest sighting and navigation system on board, the use of which even ordinary aviation bombs are close in efficiency to a highly accurate controlled arms.



In this regard, it was suggested that a heavy Russian UAV could drop a 500-kg aerial bomb without appearing directly above the attacked object.

If this is so, then this format increases the chances of an attack UAV in terms of the ability to evade the use of a conventional enemy air defense system against it. But in this situation, the experts have another question: how much does the "mechanics" of a 500-kilogram bomb contribute to the ability to maneuver during the fall? In other words, at what distance from the target did the drone drop so that the bomb would hit the target, "reaching" it on its own. Assumptions on this matter are very different, but it is still impossible to talk about the preferable ones, since there is no specific data on what kind of bomb the Hunter dropped from its internal compartments. Initially, it was assumed that this was a bomb in one of the FAB-500 variants, but this is only an assumption expressed in the press.

One thing is quite obvious: if the "Okhotnik" is capable of carrying an aerial bomb weighing 500 kg on its board, then it may well be a corrected aerial bomb KAB-500, including the KAB-500S (with a high-explosive warhead), which is guided through the GLONASS channel. Earlier, the KAB-500 bombs of various modifications of the Russian Aerospace Forces were actively used during the counter-terrorist operation in Syria.

        The most important advantage of the KAB-500S - the ability to use it regardless of the time of day and weather conditions, combined with its relative cheapness - makes it a versatile weapon. There is an opportunity to put into practice the principle of "fire and forget" to the full.

            what a weird vyser?
            sighting equipment is a whole doctrine.
            First, even the United States has very limited stocks of homing weapons, and their stocks are only enough for 1-2 months of intensive operations.
            Second, look at NK and other conflicts - human-directed ammunition is being successfully used there. The same bayraktars also did not use the homing principle. Because homing is not always good and not always available or affordable.
            That is why hephaestus is used - yes, it is not as comfortable as a guided weapon.
            But the planes armed with it can use hundreds of thousands of tons of unguided ammunition as high-precision. at least getting into a small house from the first shot is not a problem. So what, is that bad? The technology has been worked out for a long time - such bombing was used by the instant-25 in Israel many years ago.

              Nagorno-Karabakh (nk) is not a military indicator, nothing at all.
              It was advantageous for Armenia that NK was defeated.
              Simple and unpretentious elimination of competing political elites by the hands of the enemy, in the internal political struggle. (This is, by the way, about the unity of a small but very proud people). This is exactly what was done in Nagorno-Karabakh.

              They are also not fools and know how to count money (not only saw), they have long developed a kit for "turning" ordinary cast iron into manageable.
              With the help of simple manipulations, a guidance-control unit (to the nose) or even aerodynamic planes (to increase the flight range) is added.

                yes, they have a laser aiming kit.
                but again, which is better? Directly to pull along the calculated trajectory or direct it with a beam?
                It's not a fact that our system is inferior in the end.
                The problem is different - apart from this system, they don't put a fig on our planes.
                Where is the stock of new missiles in the warehouses? Where are the reports of massive pilot training with new guided munitions? They just don't exist.
                Here the Americans have developed the AIM-120 missile (150 kg). Then, over several years, almost the entire fleet of f-16 and f-15 was provided with the opportunity to use it, now there are reports on its use regularly from different points. This gives tactical opportunities due to the range exceeding the usual 30-40 km, tk. versions of the rocket work in 1991 at 50 km, and now it is about 100. And what do we have?
                missiles RVV-AE-PD (225 kg), RVV-AE 175 kg (range up to 100 km) have been developed, but the Air Force practically does not use them, and the Americans have already released their missile in a series of more than 1200 units.
                the problem is stupid savings. Or another example - we have developed modern DZ complexes for tanks, but they are almost nowhere to be found. Like it's expensive.
                The problem is precisely in this approach, and not in the fact that the materiel is somehow much inferior.

                    you are right, the question is purely economic, but what to do?

                    economics and politics are closely related. Our army consumes a lot of money.
                    But not all are spent rationally. A typical example is 3 different types of tanks, strange upgrades at the price of a new tank, etc. I'm not talking about the posh property of the quartermasters and other business executives. I think there is enough money for combat readiness.
                    But this is only part of the problem, the second is the actual economy, industry and technology. This can be returned to the level only by seriously changing society. The current system is too inefficient. Let me give you an example. The market system spends about 20% of GDP on the existence of the market and chaos in vain, the USSR spent about 8% on overhead costs, and the Russian Federation spends "left" about 60% of GDP, if not more. Investments have an effect of less than 25%. It's just awful.

          As far as I understand, the target was hit by unguided ammunition with high accuracy using the advanced navigation system "Hunter".
          The Russian heavy attack drone of low visibility [S-70] "Okhotnik" hit a ground target during flight tests conducted at the Ashuluk test site, Urdu Point News reported.

          “The target was hit with high precision,” a defense industry source told Sputnik, without giving an exact date for the flight tests, but noting that it was not the first time the Okhotnik hit ground targets with bombs during an exercise.

          According to the source, the "Okhotnik" has an improved navigation system that allows the use of unguided ammunition with an accuracy approaching that of a precision guided weapon.

      Extremely contradictory information. It would be necessary to decide whether the automatic bombing of free-fall bombs using GLONASS can be classified as "high-precision". As far as can be judged, sighting systems that include SVP-24 can significantly reduce the dispersion of bombs when used from relatively high altitudes (4000-5000 m). However, the probable deviation (in a calm atmosphere) will still be within tens of meters, so the mass of the bomb is from 500 kg and more. High-precision ammunition has a probable deviation of no more than 1,5 m.

            But there are fewer ways to counteract. Against high-precision weapons, you can use electronic warfare, decoy jamming, and so on. And an ordinary aerial bomb, like a bullet, is a fool, you cannot fool it.
            Sometimes the "intelligence" of a weapon is a disadvantage, not a virtue.
            Dispersion parameter - depending on the drop height. If the UAV will bomb in a dive (if it does not know how yet, it can learn over time), the accuracy of the bombing will be greater.

            With a large mass and flight speed, the CEP will be minimal. But this is within a certain range of application.
            And given that the KVO of conventional ammunition is much more, it can already be considered high-precision.

            To school. At the desk. Learn Russian and try to understand at least now how the singular differs from the plural. The pronoun "they" is inappropriate in this case for the simple reason that "them" simply does not exist in nature.
            1. Both the turtle and the cheetah are moving forward. The only question is how fast. To the digital values ​​of the United States, Israel, Turkey and China for the production of UAVs, some, apparently, are still far away.

            As for me, I rely again on information from the Ministry of Defense and on official sources.

                          it's not real. Knowing the design system, I am 99% sure that the internal components and assemblies were designed taking into account the placement of the bomb bay.

                          More than real. Considering the novelty of the subject matter and modern approaches to development.
                          To make the simplest possible option from ready-made components and assemblies, for working out the circuit, basic control and monitoring systems, testing capabilities. Yes, just to prove to the leadership that Sukhoi can create such an aircraft.
                          On the next prototypes, add new features, fix bugs, create specialized solutions.

                          And then redesign EVERYTHING again, because the weight distribution will change? This is just unrealistic. It is still possible to close an unfinished bomb bay with a panel.

      Initially, it was assumed that this was a bomb in one of the FAB-500 variants, but this is only an assumption expressed in the press.

      The press, as always, is guessing on the coffee grounds. The main thing is to attract attention to yourself. The more "attention", the more earnings. Rebuttal is not in vogue. They are not responsible for the fact that the brains are littered with stories and fakes.

      There is no need to be vague in the chatter about accuracy. Our engineers are obliged to create flying machines and weapons for them, which hit the enemy with an accuracy not lower than that demonstrated by the Turks in Karabakh. Dot. And there is no need for verbiage about what is cheaper and you can also throw bricks. Colossal public money is spent on this task. Why do we need a semi-finished product? Save money to send it offshore? Old people and sick children will not be given it anyway, so let them work out and do it no worse than their Western counterparts, and be responsible for what they did.

      The heavier the thrown object, the more accurately it falls. The combination of shock invisibility + half-ton bombs is something. In fact, the Hunter is like a reusable cruise missile. There, too, the weight of the warhead rotates about 150-500 kg.

      That is how many smart people among the commentators were designated and all the bombing specialists. Gentlemen! What would you like to argue about? From the whole article, only one thing is clear. The Hunter is capable of DELIVERING a 500 kg bomb. ALL. He delivered it, dropped it, hit the target. DOT. What kind of ammunition was used, what guidance system was used, how much ammunition flew to the target - terra incognita. And this is absolutely the right decision. For the enemy NEEDS to know all these parameters in order to take measures to protect objects from an air strike. And clever gentlemen, let's frolic and compete in great-mindedness. Don't worry guys. Those who created this weapon are at least far "no worse" than YOU. Have you noticed that "no worse" I put in quotes? It is necessary to explain why, or will the concept of overestimation of your self-esteem to limitless heights work for you? Russian gunsmiths are not made with a finger. I BELIEVE in them. They are really smart guys.
