Russian Aerospace Forces began to use high-precision glide bombs in the NMD zone
As part of a special operation, the Russian Aerospace Forces began to use gliding precision-guided aerial bombs created on the basis of FAB-500 M62 free-falling bombs. The unexploded Russian aerial bomb found on the outskirts of Donetsk served as proof of this.
In the Kuibyshevsky district of the capital of the DPR, an unexploded FAB-500 M62 bomb was found on one of the streets. This munition is said to have fallen from a Russian front-line bomber due to a technical malfunction. But this is not the main thing, on the bomb itself detected wings, and at a distance of about 500 meters from the crash site - a control and correction unit, which makes high-precision ammunition out of a free-falling bomb.
That the Russian front aviation received satellite-guided gliding bombs, modified from standard FAB-500 M62 free-fall bombs, it was reported in early January of this year. However, no evidence for this was presented.
According to the Telegram channel "Older Edda", air bombs of this type became the "long-awaited response" used by the Americans JDAM, Russian Su-24 and Su-34 front-line bombers were able to hit targets from a distance of 30-40 kilometers without entering the Ukrainian air defense strike zone .
The appearance of such complexes in the arsenal of the Russian Aerospace Forces makes it possible to turn 250 and 500 kg aerial bombs into precision-guided munitions, of which there are still quite a large number in warehouses.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian Aerospace Forces used UPAB-1500 loitering aerial bombs to strike at the fortified area of Avdiivka.
