The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called the use of winged (gliding) bombs by the Russian Aerospace Forces a new threat to Ukraine

The Kiev command is anxiously reporting the emergence of a new Russian threat. Such, according to the speaker of the Air Force of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat, are winged (planning) bombs, which have recently been actively used by the Russian Aerospace Forces to strike at military targets in the territory controlled by Kiev. These high-precision corrective munitions began to be used every day, the speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces complained on the air of a round-the-clock telethon.

Ignat stated that bombs with a homing system and a high range of destruction are dropped by Russian pilots from a distance outside the zone of destruction of the air defense systems available to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Worse, a fairly simple and inexpensive device to manufacture radically changes the combat characteristics of conventional aviation bombs, of which Russia has a large number, including from Soviet times. Moreover, you can hang the kit on the ammunition quickly and without the use of complex technical devices.



This is a new threat that has appeared before us: without flying into the zone of destruction of our air defense, they drop these bombs. Bombs of 500 kg fly tens of kilometers, let me remind you that this bomb has a warhead, something needs to be done about it.

- said the speaker of the Air Force of Ukraine, adding. that no air defense systems can cover the entire territory of Ukraine.

Further, Ignat habitually turned to the Western allies, demanding to urgently create an aviation coalition like tank and provide Ukraine with fighter jets to fight the new Russian threat. It is a little strange that the speaker did not link the use of modernized aircraft ammunition with the fact that Russia ran out of strike drones and missiles "Caliber".

But such an assumption from the lips of a Kyiv propagandist would have sounded quite logical, because reports of the use of so-called “smart bombs” by the Russian Aerospace Forces appeared quite recently. Moreover, this happened literally immediately after a Pentagon spokesman said that the United States had supplied Kyiv with several similar JDAM systems.

        Is it a lot? Before SVO, they also thought. that we have 122 and 152 mm shells to the point of foolishness. And less than a year has passed since the warehouses were raked out. 122mm and even earlier. So in fact what they say should be divided by 10.

    For most targets on the battlefield, 50-100kg bombs would be suitable. When these begin to be used en masse, this will be a worse problem. Especially if it coincides with the massive use of loitering ammunition. All equipment in the combat zone will be taken out at once. No supplies will save.

        Air defense can be completely destroyed, but the problem is MANPADS, and there are plenty of them. Every fifth girl has with her. Whatever the video is, there is no, but a mobile installation will flash. Although, if you destroy air defense, then you need to rise higher and bomb from there, and here is the question of bombing accuracy

          MANPADS are dangerous up to 3 km. We need a planned attack with all the attacking means of the VKS. With false targets (ala Azersky AN-2 on radio control). The first echelon go false targets, air defense begins to work. Second echelon carriers Kh-31. Destruction of activated radars. The third echelon is already working with cast iron. All launch sites for medium and long-range air defense systems should be detected with the help of the A-50, brought to the UAV sector and wait for the arrival with cast iron. This is the only way to win the war in the air. 2-3 days of such tight work and the enemy's air defense will cease to exist. YES!!! do not forget the constant buzzing of Geranek.

            Apparently you are from the former warriors and taught you ... Into battle! HOORAY! Do as I do. And there another is needed (I don’t know why they don’t use it). The best weapons are 3 - 4 "Daggers" in the center of Kyiv, Lvov, Ivano-Frankivsk. ,.. And even better, tactical charges - 2-3 in the western regions. All. Immediately: "What about us?" And running, running in geyropa. This will begin ... Svidomo cannot be stopped in their fiery impulse. It is now from the East that people are being driven to slaughter. And the Westerners... This is a caste of untouchables. In the eastern regions, all the villages have already been "mowed down".

        There is no air defense system in Ukraine. Air defense, what is left of them is destroyed. But it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. The remaining complexes do not operate continuously. And the most important thing is that no matter how hard you try to completely destroy it, you still won’t succeed. After all, we are essentially at war with NATO, and they will always find air defense systems and people to work for them.

      Unfortunately, such bombs are very difficult (if not impossible) to hit stand-alone tanks. And it's no longer fashionable to huddle. If only in very deep rear and not for long.

      Glide bombs are used for stationary objects whose coordinates are known. Moving targets can only be hit using laser illumination or if there is a homing head in the ammunition. That is, completely different types of ammunition.

      SVP-24 in Syria did a useful job against the barmaley - why is it so dismissive of them? Another weapon - in another war. The fact that at the highest level they did not see / did not want to see the prospects for such a campaign is an indicator of the quality of our state, or rather, a sub-state: without an ideology, a coherent domestic and foreign policy. Apparently, in order to drive raw materials to the West, or somewhere else, none of this is required. Instead of ideology as the highest goal of the existence of the state, some kind of surrogate for the Second World War, along with trade and Masonic Vlasov symbols and selfish interests of the authorities ...

      Glide bombs are in test mode. Let's hope it doesn't take a lot of tweaking.
      The range is gained due to the high speed of the carrier. According to UMPC - geometric data are known - scope, profile. For the configuration with the M-62, the aerodynamic quality is 6. Although during operation all sorts of different restrictions can come out both in speed and in modes. According to the peculiarities of the wing opening mechanics and, as a result, the range data may be worse than planned. For the past month, the Avdeevsky fortified area has been hit by 5-9 strikes per day with planning bombs based on the M-62. Now the density of blows began to increase, the Khinzirs squeal. They switched from pairs to links. In April there will be an order of magnitude more. According to rumors. While it is necessary to teach the crews. It is possible until August to rise to the wing of all products of the 9-xx for throwing bombs from the UMPC. Russia started the conflict without the formed and debugged tools of the Great War.
      It took the USSR 2+ years in an emergency situation. Since June 1941. By July-August, these cast-iron bombs with wings will fall on Khinzirs in a truly massive way, the Soviet Union left thousands of tons of them in storage.

        The USSR is in an emergency situation ...
        Everything that the Soviet people did in an emergency mode for a big war until June 1941 was lost near the western borders with the outbreak of hostilities (under the leadership of the invincible Marshal of Victory - then the head of the General Staff of the spacecraft). In the conditions of the enemy pushing against the super-heroic efforts of the people, by the summer of 1942, the pre-war (emergency) level of military production was restored ... Glory to the victorious people!

          Then it will already cost more and air defense will be more difficult to pass. Although the future lies with something cheap, but powerful and long-range. Something in between a planning bomb and Iranian heavy kamikaze UAVs, like Arash-2. plan the final section of the flight as a gliding high-precision guided bomb, like the same UMPC. Wings can open in the final section when you just need to plan. And yes, TV guidance, but if possible.


          During the first large-scale military drone exercise in December 2020, the destructive Arash drone was launched from the coast of Mekran and, after covering a distance of about 1400 km, hit a target in the general exercise area in Semnan province. The launch of the Arash drone was carried out from a container on a commercial vehicle, which leads to an increase in the mobility and movement of this drone in stealth mode. In 2020, through the efforts of the jihadists of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the flight duration of army kamikaze drones was constantly increased to 2000 km. This is the highest rate in this type of weapon in the world.

      The drag coefficient of gliding bombs usually does not exceed 10. Thus, with a drop height of 10 km, the range does not exceed 100 km. And in order for the range to be 500 km, it must be dropped from a spacecraft (just kidding).

    Great! We have a quantitative advantage in the Air Force, which we cannot translate into quality due to the still active Banderlog air defense.

        The Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF Treaty) was signed on December 8, 1987, entered into force on June 1, 1988, and was of an indefinite nature. Prohibited the parties to produce, test and deploy ground-based ballistic and cruise missiles (GLBM and GLCM) of medium range (1001-5500 km) and shorter range (500-1000 km), as well as launchers (PU) for them.

        This is the first link in Yandex search, baby. And I must tell you that the USSR had thousands of such missiles. With "touchy". With an altitude automaton, which allowed flying at an altitude of 20 meters and even lower, along the envelope of the terrain. No "Caliber" comes close to this weapon in a land war, despite its not so great speed. The mass of the charge is very different, you know, and it's a little easier to shoot them down. The auto-altitude is an absolutely awesome thing. Well, etc.
