Russian Aerospace Forces struck in the Avdeevsky direction with UPAB-1500 guided aerial bombs

Russian aviation began to use UPAB-1500 loitering aerial bombs in Ukraine. This statement was made by the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express, citing its own sources.

According to reports, Russian aircraft used these munitions on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Avdiivka, one and a half ton bombs spread the fortifications of Ukrainian nationalists built over eight years. At the same time, our aviation does not approach the area of ​​operation of the Ukrainian air defense, delivering strikes from a distance of more than 40 km. The Ukrainian publication claims that these munitions are also used in other directions, in particular, in the "northern", but our aviation does not work from the Chernihiv and Sumy regions.

Although they say in Kyiv that Russia first used UPAB-1500 guided bombs in the Avdiivka direction, this is only partly true. It is possible that it was in Avdiyivka that they were used for the first time, but within the framework of the NMD, these munitions have been used from the very beginning. In March of last year, the videos of the Ministry of Defense on the use of aviation flashed footage from the UPAB-1500 on aircraft preparing for combat missions. These air bombs were also used on the territory of "Azovstal" in Mariupol, when the remnants of the nationalists who had settled there from the terrorist group "Azov" * banned in Russia * were picked out from there.

The K029BE bomb (UPAB-1500) has a caliber of 1500 kg and is designed to destroy protected ground and surface targets. With a total weight of 1525 kg, the warhead weighs 1010 kg. Equipped with an intelligent fuse with three detonation delay modes. The ammunition can glide to a maximum range of 50 km, and is used from altitudes not exceeding 15 km. Deviation from the point of defeat is not more than 10 meters. Uses an inertial satellite guidance system.

The use of such aerial bombs reduces the risks for aircraft, while at the same time allowing the destruction of fortifications that are very difficult to take with conventional artillery.

My post is below for both.

You can write anything you like, including the fact that planning bombs were used from the very beginning of the NWO, but not everyone has no memory.
Firstly, before the start of the NMD, our Defense Ministry stubbornly told that our army did not need planning bombs, with all the ensuing consequences for our army.
Secondly, if such bombs were used, then they were created in single quantities, like everything reasonable, either for others or on an initiative basis. If all combat units were armed with such bombs, then we would not see terrible shots in which the Su-34 flies in WWI over enemy trenches and drops bombs like 80 years ago, there would be no need to risk the lives of pilots and expensive aircraft.
And thirdly, if such bombs were in our units, then there would be no need to drive attack aircraft and attack helicopters and hit the white light with NURSs, one Su-34 squadron with such bombs would dismantle any fortification in one sortie

So you write without knowing anything. I assure you that bombs were used from the very beginning. You are a couch general. I'll be glad if I'm wrong.

[ramzay21]

If you do not see the difference between the FABs that were used and the ASAPs that we do not have, then this is your problem. Yes, FAB, that is, free-falling bombs were used everywhere in the NWO, these weapons were from the USSR and were used 80 years ago.
But UPAB is in all adequate armies of the world, including advanced Iran, but in our country there is no UPAB, there are isolated cases of testing what our media call UPAB. Although we have had sane developments for a long time, neither our Defense Ministry nor Shoigu needs them.

Without opposition? -- Sure, not a problem! (The only thing is that the almighty magician is only on paper I ... (c)) And what about the dill air defense system? No way? And why??? - But because there is no anti-aircraft defense. Well, we have not created groups for the destruction of air defense systems. There is not enough tyam, although the experience of the shtatovites is a harsh confirmation of this. The Gulf War is a mine of experience to explore! But our upper military pilots prefer to send their flyers "to crawl along the anti-aircraft guns with their belly" (according to the launchers of the air defense system). Therefore, one has to spend expensive UABs (planning ABs guided by GLONASS), instead of unloading tons of cast iron from a height inaccessible to MANPADS (more than 5 km), according to Hermes, on the heads of oh, fat, Natsiks.
But it is difficult. Not for our "wise guys". Therefore, they will spend what was intended for NATA ...
AHA.

there is no anti-aircraft warfare. Well, we have not created groups for the destruction of air defense systems.

Yes, groups have been created, and complexes have been destroyed from the first days of the NMD, and air defense systems have been destroyed ... a lot. Here are just heavy (S-300) complexes they have hidden in the urban development of cities, and not in the rear of the combat formations of the troops. The Armed Forces of Ukraine near the LBS are covered by military air defense systems. And they all work according to external target designation from NATO (satellites, AWACS, RTR aircraft) as well as passive location ground stations (Kolchuga and Co). Do not forget that a whole line of radars was produced in Ukraine until the beginning of the NWO, and these are very good radars. So, under such conditions, one cannot count on an easy victory; appropriate tools and a variety of tactics are needed. And remember that quantity almost always beats quality. And the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, incl. in air defense systems are constantly replenished by the entire NATO bloc.
And under such conditions, our lack of attack drones, the lack of RTR and TsU aircraft and UAVs, the lack or absence of high-power planning bombs and ... a rather modest number of attack aircraft, led to ... what they led to.
It is possible and there is something to suppress the enemy's air defense in a specific sector of the front, but then a powerful bombing strike and a breakthrough in the enemy's defense should follow. But ... in modern and current conditions, it is difficult to organize such a breakthrough, because preparations for it will be opened in advance and at the time of the concentration of troops and armored vehicles they will be hit with precision-guided munitions. As it has happened more than once. So they adapt as best they can and gnaw at the enemy's defenses ... with smaller-scale operations.
There will be no serious offensives until mid-late spring, and what will happen at the end of April-May ... the enemy is forming shock corps, by the same time they may have fresh aircraft and several hundred tanks, as well as ammunition. And what our commanders are preparing ... let's wait and see.
And about our aviation flying freely over the enemy and ironing him with cast iron ... don’t dream - we won’t be allowed to do this anymore. Therefore, UAB and KAB of high power come in handy more than ever. And we also need "Lancets" (or their analogues) with a more powerful warhead. Let's say 8 kg. like Helfire. Then they will confidently destroy heavy armored vehicles and self-propelled guns, MLRS and other priority targets ... And you often won’t look at the “flea bites” of Lancets-3 and even Lancets-5 without sadness and regret.

[Alexey G]

And they all work according to external target designation from NATO (satellites, AWACS, RTR aircraft) as well as passive location ground stations (Kolchuga and Co)

And why don’t we have satellites or AWACS aircraft to identify the locations of their S300s and destroy them with precise strikes of Iskander, Geranei missiles, and X aircraft missiles ...

Ask this question to a knight of the Order of the Hospitallers of Malta. He is also the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. And why does our army not have such means of reconnaissance and target designation? Secure digital communications ? A sufficient number of RTR aircraft? About satellites and even more so - with him.
And our supreme commander-in-chief, as a rule, nothing to do with. Generally nothing. Well, except to tell a joke ... to joke on camera ...

[Victor Shershnev]

The Supreme Commander said to everyone: "Last year we acted from wheels !"

[sgrabik]

I completely agree with you that, unfortunately, we have problems with the mass production of reconnaissance and strike UAVs, we must not rely on regular deliveries of these types of weapons from Iran and China, but systematically resolve the issue of our own development and production of all types of military UAVs with the performance characteristics necessary for our Armed Forces.

Regular mode of application
The launch scheme allows:
Place the launcher on any suitable “patch”, between buildings, in narrow gorges and hollows, tall and dense forests, protected from enemy weapons and detection

RPN 30N6, RLO 64N6, 36D6 and HBO 76N6 cannot be hidden among urban areas (this is idiocy), otherwise you will track linen on balcony ropes.
And they are the most expensive in the complex.
And the S-300P may not have enough height, since the march is already starting from 20 m and there is a slope towards the target.

[Andy_nsk]

And they all work according to external target designation from NATO (satellites, AWACS, RTR aircraft) as well as passive location ground stations (Kolchuga and Co)

According to target designation from satellites and AWACS aircraft, the outlying S-300s cannot work.
But the fact that we did not have a large-scale production of planning bombs is a fact, and the Moscow Region is primarily to blame. As for the UPAB-1500, its aerodynamics are very mediocre, so it does not work for a long range, and, judging by the reports, there are not enough of them .. well, at least something in the absence of fish ...

[ramzay21]

Therefore, one has to spend expensive UABs (planning ABs guided by GLONASS), instead of unloading tons of cast iron from a height inaccessible to MANPADS (more than 5 km), according to Hermes, on the heads of oh, fat, Natsiks.

If in our Defense Ministry and military-industrial complex they were not engaged in sawing, but in the real armament of the army, then we would have very inexpensive kits that turn the FAB stored in warehouses into UPAB, which can be launched from a distance of 70 km from the LBS, outside the air defense zone.
But you can’t cut a lot of dough on this, and so there are such things not only in the USA, but also the Iranians and we had such developments. And the greed of the kov from the Moscow Region and the military-industrial complex is now being paid with the lives of our guys

I think that such a period was needed for the completion or modernization of this type of bombs. It's no secret that at first they thought to get off with "little blood and no destruction" until they stood near Azovstal. Further, more fortifications are everywhere and you simply cannot do without such ammunition.

[Max2022]

I agree, I hope they used the time to build up stocks of such relatively inexpensive guided munitions, so that these were not one-time actions, but systematic destruction of the enemy with minimal risk to our pilots.

to call those planning a bomb loitering, this is a little beyond

Quote: Turtle

measure the caliber in kilograms - from the same opera?

AIRCRAFT BOMB CALIBER - the main characteristic of aviation bombs, which is the average weight of a bomb for given standard sizes. Accepted bomb calibers - 2,5; 10; 25; 50; 100; 250;
500; 1500; 5000; 10000 kg. If the actual weight of the bomb does not match its caliber for a given dimension, the weight of the bomb is indicated in the name after the numbers indicating the caliber. For example, SAB-50-15 means: a 50 kg luminous bomb weighing 15 kg.

The question, of course, is the amount of application. If they were in the right amount for the war, then why were the fortified areas near Donetsk not destroyed.

[Muromczev-2015]

They forgot to ask you when and what to bomb. You would empty all the ammunition depots in one day :) ...

[voice of reason]

recently they began to use 500 now 1500, apparently dill will soon be mixed with earth and dirt ...
I am glad that the technology of guided aerial bombs is used, this allows bombing without entering the MANPADS coverage area

[Ohsetin]

50 km. it is very small. AGM-154 has up to 130. Although, if UPAB-1500 would have been in abundance, and not once a quarter, it would have come down, but they are not.

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: Ohsetin

50 km. it is very small. AGM-154 has up to 130

No need to compare the "fork with the bottle"! AGM-154 is a "half-ton"! UPAB-1500 is a "half-ton"! The gliding range also depends on the span (area) of the gliding wings ... it can be difficult to place "large" gliding wings on an air munition, given the "norms" of loading a combat aircraft with such ammunition! 500 km ... So compare with UPAB-40!

[blackGRAIL]

And there is still a loss. UPAB-500 is used up to a height of 14 km and has a planning range of 40 km.
AGM-154 when launched from low altitudes - 22km (small ones are clearly much less than 14km)
when launched from a high altitude (14 km for UPAB-500 - is this a high altitude?) - 130 km
Engine variant under development - up to 560km

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote from: blackGRAIL

And there is still a loss. UPAB-500 is used up to a height of 14 km and has a planning range of 40 km.
AGM-154 when starting from low altitudes - 22km

Well, figure out "something" to your nose! UPAB-500 flies 14 km when dropped from a height of 40 km! UPAB-1500, despite being heavier and "oversized", when dropped from 15 km (only 1 km more!) "flies" 50 km ... So maybe you shouldn't be "surprised" that the AGM-154 from a height 22 km flies further 100 km! Although there may be different "nuances"! 1. Wingspan planning; 2. Drop height; 3.Weather conditions; 4. Aerodynamic shape and balance of compartments in the body...

[blackGRAIL]

So we are not talking about surprise that our UPABs are used at a range of up to 40-50 km. The point is that our Defense Ministry “will do just that” and there is no task of creating an UPAB (or a WTO complex with an UPAB) with a range of 100-150 km.

[PROXOR]

From what height? From a low altitude of 24 km. So on this small it is a one-way flight.

[Muromczev-2015]

To whom are you telling this? Do you see yourself being downvoted? For a long time, only cissists have been sitting here, and home-grown "fighters against the bloody Putin regime" (which, in fact, is one and the same)

Apparently, the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine are right on the front line, since they are shooting at Avdeevka from Yenakiyevo.

So we have already destroyed all the air defense of Ukraine, why be afraid to use aircraft. ((

We are not afraid. They made a plane for themselves and attached a bomb to it. We'll do more soon...

[Seraphimamur]

Normann are you stupid? Not aware that Ukrainian air defense is being taken from Europe?

[Sebostyuan]

Not loitering, but planning, so it will probably be more accurate.
The bomb is quite expensive - it will not work to plow all the fortifications with it. Only high-value, protected targets. But judging by the video from Avdiivka. There it was used, something in the region of 500kg. I hope the FAB-500M60 was finished. These can be sprinkled - in bulk.

[sgrabik]

Now there is no such thing as expensive or not profitable, it is necessary to use all available forces and means, if in this case it is necessary to use this particular type of bombs or missiles to destroy the enemy, then it is they that need to be used, talking about the high cost now is somehow completely inappropriate , so you need to increase the number of these bombs so that there is no shortage of them, everything for the front, everything for victory !!!

[blackGRAIL]

Rather, it is about the fact that "cheap" directions of the WTO, such as the "Unified Set of Planning and Correction Modules" for air bombs and "Kompam" for shells, were categorically rejected by our Defense Ministry. For some reason of their own.

[VicktorVR]

So explain this to the bourgeois owners of factories, why they should work for free, at the same time to the workers of these factories.

Something "wings" are too small for planning for fifty kilometers from a height of up to 15 km. Don't you find? Maybe in flight something moves apart wider, I'm not talking about legs ...

[qQQQ]

Quote from Sebostyuan

There it was used, something in the region of 500kg.

So it seems to me that the explosion is too small for 1500, I also tend to 500 kg.

[AdAstra]

"Davolno expensive" You say that the life of our soldiers is more expensive?

[Last centurion]

When I read that a gliding bomb can be expensive, a circuit from an arduino for 250 rubles immediately comes to mind, an mpu 6050 accelerometer-gyroscope for 120 rubles, a bmp 280 barometer for 80 rubles, three 150 kg servos for 10,5 thousand rubles, and let's assume batteries 10 thousand rubles and loose pieces of radio components for 500 rubles for dcdc converters. And the antenna for GLONASS how much is it there, well, let a thousand maximum. All. The rest is a cast-iron bonba, a spring for folding wings and wings from some kind of shit, well, something like plastic from kanash pipes reinforced with carbon struts and an aluminum profile. And a bespectacled man who, for 50 thousand, will write and debug you a sketch in an arduino. But if you are too lazy to do domestic, then you buy a Matek f405wmn level flight controller for 4,5k rubles. All. Planning ammunition is ready. A maximum of 50 rubles per piece will come out (the price of a cast-iron bonba is included)

[Ohsetin]

A? Eh? What about building dachas for generals?

[stankow]

And at an altitude of 14 km, the temperature is minus 50. Neither the arduino, nor the battery, nor the motor will even move
Resp. equipment is two orders of magnitude more expensive ... Approximately. a hundred times

Since March 2022, UPAB-1500 has been thrown. Once a quarter. It is just very expensive. Anti-bunker planning bomb for the enemy hiding deep underground and layers of concrete. Another thing is interesting. Recently, every other day they began to throw different FABs, of different capacities, at Avdiivka. Now they are testing a model of work with planning ammunition with UMPC (Unified Planning and Correction Module) on Avdiivka. When the process is completed, everything that flies will go into action. Even MiG-29.

[Oleg Ogorod]

Since March 2022, UPAB-1500 has been thrown. Once a quarter. It is just very expensive.

Expensive...
And if you think about it, what is so expensive there? Frame? Well, looking at the welds, you understand, they didn’t print on a 3D printer. This box is worth every penny. Explosive? I don't think it's too expensive either. Now, if she weighed 50 kg, and the effect was like that of 1,5 tons of TNT ... due to super-duper explosives. Like a special warhead.
What remains? Several control mechanisms and a control unit with a battery. Management mechanisms there is the bare minimum.
A super-duper phone-computer from the coolest brands with a sensor for all navigation systems costs 100 thousand rubles. Including several cameras. But here the computing power would be enough from a phone for 20 thousand rubles.
And in our country, for example, a simple manual oil pump with military acceptance from a single manufacturer costs 250 thousand (well, like an old car tire pump, you step on it with your feet and pump it with both hands).
So how much could a control unit for such a bomb cost? Probably 5-10 million at least.
I understand that it costs money to develop and debug. But in a series? However, the salaries of the management of military-industrial complex enterprises are quite sickly. Yes, you still need to feed the hundreds attached there. Which make little sense. Moreover, to keep a huge staff of accounting, economists, and suppliers. Since everything with this is so complicated and confusing in terms of laws and requirements...
If we had worked like this in the past WWII, we would not have seen victory ...

"GNPP Region", apparently, has no special geshefts from these bombs. But KTRV as a whole - who knows.

It is also necessary to fully test the "Father of all bombs" there in combat conditions, why feel sorry for the Nazi evil spirits, because they are trying to test NATO weapons supplied to them by the collective West on our military, and in this case we are ashamed of what, let's also fight in full force and according to full program to apply our most advanced and effective developments and products, it is somehow stupid and short-sighted for us to restrain ourselves when no one is even going to restrain ourselves against us.

And where is the once advertised free-falling air bombs with the so-called "bra" that makes a gliding bomb out of a simple one? The Americans have had it for a long time and I remember on the Zvezda channel our designer announced the same production of such bombs, but now they are not heard or seen about them.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

And where ... air bombs with the so-called "bra
In the same place as with "lace panties". Import substitution has not yet been established for these women's toilet products.

[blackGRAIL]

In the same place as the Compass module for shells. For some reason, our Defense Ministry is not interested in cheap WTO solutions at all.

[starley]

maybe the shtatovtsy sold theirs to the videoconferencing?

Break bridges across the Dnieper. 1500kg is the most

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Break bridges across the Dnieper.
"Not every bird will fly to the middle of the Dnieper." Did Gogol know better or was he talking about ostriches?

[Oleg Ogorod]

"Not every bird will fly to the middle of the Dnieper." Did Gogol know better or was he talking about ostriches?

He then already knew what NWO to be.
However, if 4 solid-propellant boosters are attached to this bomb, which for some time after being dropped from the aircraft will continue to actively move it to the target for some time, increasing the range of km to 200 ÷ 300 km, then this would probably come in handy. Then the Kyiv bridges could be reached. And to the middle of the Dnieper.
There used to be old air defense missiles with an additional four solid-propellant boosters. From the Krug complex.

Why so sickly? Will the Nazis manage to get scared? Why not over bridges and tunnels? By seaports, by Bankovaya? Perhaps only the next generation will know the answers.

[donavi49]

The meaning of this bomb is not to fly over the ribbon, not to fly into the Bukov / Os / MANPADS cover zone. Bridges, Banking and others - require a breakthrough in the air defense of large cities. For the carrier must reach the line at high speed and altitude in order to transfer the energy reserve for the bomb. There is no such. Or rather, there is the opposite, a strong build-up of air defense.

Energy reserve? Are you talking about aviation kerosene or about gunpowder in solid propellant rocket engines ??? Bad expression. With physics or something at school it was bad. In order to fly further without an engine, it is necessary to change the aerodynamic quality of the product: to make the body flat (bearing), to increase the aerodynamic surfaces. And yes... Provide a "reserve" of energy - potential, which will flow into kinetic - with a drop height; kinetic - release speed ... And you also need to think about the angle of attack of the product ... to ensure the range. But here the question immediately arises of an increase in the resistance of the oncoming flow, which dampens the speed, reducing the kinetic energy, and consequently the flight range of the product. Therefore, I was very surprised when they told me that such UABs are blown in a wind tunnel in order to squeeze out "from what it was", all the goodies - "to love what it blinded" (c).

The path of Russian bureaucratic and clerical work is thorny and long: approvals, visas, justifications, resolutions, encryption, stamping, reports, archiving, searching ..., field communication across the street only once a week ... but who are you to tell me. .., the boss is now: on vacation, on sick leave, on a business trip..., the computer is frozen... I, alone, and there are many of you...

[Luka Nord]

More often these things should be used .. How many lives of our soldiers would be saved.
And Avdiivka was generally razed to the ground from there, they were beaten in the Donbass for all 9 years and now they are wet ..

What does Avdiivka have to do with it? there is no need to confuse the fascists of the national battalions with the civilians. Here, everyone who now rests in this fortified area should not be taken prisoner - this would be the right decision. Moreover, I would first declare: whoever does not lay down his arms before 00:00 on such and such a date will not be taken prisoner! And then - the free choice of each dill. At the same time, I would send all those who surrendered to the construction of the second branch of the BAM or the second line of the Power of Siberia. And don't feel sorry for them!

It seems to me that the political leadership is still not doing anything to win in the NMD, it is trying to scare Kiev with single blows so that they sit down at the negotiating table, and thereby lower everything on the brakes, concluding something like Khasavyurt to hide everything failures in the conduct of the operation, which were made by the most important bosses in the Russian Federation.

[kill the fascist]

A good thing for destroying enemy fortified areas in the frontline zone. The inability to fully use aviation in the contact zone / front line is a sensitive minus for our troops. So UPAB 1500 and the like are "very profitable". It’s great if there are analogues of a smaller tonnage that can be used in bulk. I think they will be very useful during the planned spring offensive of Banderlog.

[Turtle]

the best planning bomb is a "geranium" scaled to the size of a transporter. Three such firewalls on the same target from different points, at least one a will fly. Do not throw sleepers - I need to throw out my anger somewhere.

[Alex_8]

The bomb K029BE (UPAB-1500) has a caliber of 1500 kg? How is that?

[Arkady Kharitonov]

to hit the bridges across the Dnieper with such bombs.

[Egeny]

Russia first used UPAB-1500 guided bombs

... maybe for the first time, maybe not.
Guys, you won’t please you again: if you don’t use it, it’s bad, if you use it, it’s even worse.
Previously, you were "strategists", "tankers", "artillerymen", "aviators" ... now, you have survived, now you are major experts in the field of bombing.)

[Petr_Koldunov]

The bomb has a caliber of 1500 kg...

Am I sleeping??? How is engine power measured? In degrees? And the speed of movement? In liters?

[blackGRAIL]

Caliber of an aerial bomb - the nominal mass of an aerial bomb with established geometric dimensions, expressed in kilograms or pounds (in Russia and the USSR until the early 1930s - in pounds). For aerial bombs of the USSR and Russia, the caliber is indicated in the symbol of the bomb after the type name.

Hmm ... and then they seriously talk about something ... without knowing what the caliber of air bombs is measured in elementary ... even over the term, power can be ironic ...

[vadivm59]

and what is an intelligent fuse? As I understand it, the pilot throws a bonbu and it casts a sign, and the fuse thinks to itself, but I’ll tear it 5 seconds after the impact! flies a little more and decides, no, I'll tear it up in 10 seconds! so what?

[d4rkmesa]

Almost. You have almost described the principle of operation of anti-bunker bombs.

[Sasha Koblov]

Is something modest, only used three times, or are they cherished for guests?

[AlexWar]

Well, apparently the bombs entered service, perhaps after modernization

[d4rkmesa]

Here it seems that they have already expressed that this is not a UPAB-1500, but a FAB-ki with that duralumin MPK. Unfortunately, the FABs themselves are also far from endless, since 2018 they have already begun to fill in a remake (possibly, cases from stocks).

[Gemini]

"Russian aviation began to use loitering air bombs in Ukraine" Loitering ???

Maybe all the same, before you blurt out, just look at the photo of both?

[Sergey Khatylaev]

These need to be riveted, since there are enough carriers.

[Beagle]

The K029BE bomb (UPAB-1500) has a caliber of 1500 kg... How's that? Is the caliber measured in weight?

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Who interfered and prevents them from being used every day? Full name in the studio!

[AlexWar]

I had to take it off like crazy. APU to show what will happen to them in these bunkers

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

Strange. And Prigogine said that only the Wagners were fighting there. Again, the RF Ministry of Defense is trying to attribute the success of the VKS Wagner to itself?

[Modya]

Quote: Boa constrictor KAA

instead of unloading tons of cast iron from a height not accessible to MANPADS (more than 5 km), according to "Hermes, on the heads of oh, fat, Natsiks.
But it is difficult. Not for our "wise guys". Therefore, they will spend what was intended for NATA ...
AHA.

they boasted so much that it was in Syria that our flyers hit barmaley from heights of 5 km, inaccessible to MANPADS.

on the contrary, flyers are afraid of these heights, and therefore they fly clinging to the ground, because above 5 km they will be shot down like in a shooting range, moreover, with Soviet weapons 50 years ago

you are probably watching another war.
and about upab everything was correctly written above. if they were in commercial quantities, there would be no Kherson, and the Kh. Ukrainians had a permanent butt-pain close to the rear.

not to mention the fact that it would be possible to break through the air defense defenses in echelon, and unload along strategic bridges, not without losses, of course,
but to qualitatively change the conduct of the war, violating the logistics of the enemy.
