Footage has appeared of the destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces crossing in the Kupyansk area using FAB-500

Footage has appeared online in which you can see the destruction of the blow aviation The Western group set up crossings near the city of Kupyansk, Kharkov region, organized by militants of the Kyiv regime.

The crossing, with the help of which the enemy supplied his group on the left bank of the Oskol River, was destroyed by two FAB-500 aerial bombs. Despite the fact that the engineering units of the militants of the Kyiv regime are quickly building new pontoon-bridge crossings to replace the destroyed ones, their capabilities do not allow them to fully satisfy the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group on the left bank.

As a result, the enemy is forced to increase the volume of transportation of heavy military equipment and ammunition through the settlement of Borovaya, located within the range of Russian artillery. The path through Borovaya is much longer and practically does not pass through populated areas, which allows the artillery of the RF Armed Forces to hit targets that cannot be covered by civilians and civilian vehicles.

As a result, the enemy’s supply can only meet the current needs of units on the left bank, without being able to quickly increase the number of the left-bank group, which facilitates the advancement of Russian troops. Thus, the surrender of Kupyansk by the Kyiv regime is almost inevitable.

Information has appeared about the completion of the development and testing of controlled units on FAB 3000 and 5000, a harsh thing, a blast wave in terms of destruction is comparable to a nuclear explosion, on the front line, of course, the use of one’s own can be limited, but for the rear targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that’s all.

[Myths]

For concreted fortifications, anything smaller will not be taken. Yes, and in the rear it’s not bad.

[Egeny]

And according to the picture, everything went as it should... well done guys.)

[Peter1First]

As I understand it, the heavier the bomb, the farther it will fly with wings! If only there were 3...5 tons like this. Bomb the Kharkov tank plant to probe!

[Popandos]

As I understand it, the heavier the bomb, the farther it will fly with wings!

You don’t understand correctly, the flight range of the gliding ammunition is affected by the initial velocity during release and the height at which the ammunition is released.
In aviation, there is a term - aerodynamic quality, look it up at your leisure if you are interested.

3 and 5 tons? It turns out to be some kind of weak nuclear explosion. TNW starts from a kiloton.

Actually, you are right, despite the inaccuracy:

in general, tactical nuclear weapons are usually less powerful than strategic ones (due to the possibility of use near the front line, that is, near friendly targets). However, this classification is not exhaustive, since most types of modern nuclear weapons have varying yields. For example, the American B61 nuclear bomb, which is considered tactical, has an equivalent from 0,3 to 340 kilotons

As for 340 kT, there are doubts that this one, which is classified as large in power, can be launched near the LBS. And 0,3 kT or 300 tons of TNT is something compared to a 1-1,5% charge.

[invisible_man]

I'm talking about our tactical nuclear weapons, not American ones. Do we have charges less than a kiloton?

[Vladimir 290]

No one will tell you this, for example, in the GSVG we constantly trained to use such shells, but no one knew what their real power was, probably except for very large headquarters and designers.

The USSR had 152 mm artillery shells, with a special warhead with a capacity of 0,4 kilotons. Now I don’t know, maybe there is. But whatever one may say, this is still a nuclear weapon.

How to understand there is? You have to search!!!
2S4 "Tulip" (GABTU index - object 305) - Soviet 240-mm self-propelled mortar of special power.

The main ammunition load of the 2B8 mortar includes high-explosive mines 53-F-864 with a maximum firing range of 9,65 km, as well as active-reactive mines 3F2 with a maximum firing range of 19,69 km. In 1982, the adjustable projectile “Smelchak” was adopted for service with the 2S4. In addition, for the 240-mm M-240 and 2S4 mortars, the following have been developed: “Sayda” incendiary mines, filled with napalm and forming stable sources of fire over an area of ​​7850 m² around the center of the projectile explosion, “Nerpa” cluster mines, equipped with high-explosive fragmentation warheads 3OF16 , 2 kiloton nuclear missiles in conventional and active-reactive versions, as well as neutron projectiles “Smola” and “Fata”.

Or here:

Subsequently, the USSR developed the 180-mm ZBV1 projectile for the C-23 gun, the 203-mm ZBV2 projectile, and the 240-mm ZBV4 mortar shell. All these shells are presumably had the equivalent of about 1 kiloton and were not neutron ammunition.
According to official figures, by 2000, Russia had withdrawn from service and dismantled all artillery nuclear munitions.

[Andrey_10]

Most likely there are; nuclear artillery shells previously existed. And I think that with a powerful projectile of about a kiloton, there is no point in firing at a range of 20-25 km. At that time our artillerymen did not fire further

[alexoff]

Davy croquet is about 15 tons in TNT equivalent, isn’t it?

[Saburov_Alexander53]

The video is simply a balm for the soul and pleasing to the eye. I was so inspired by the long-awaited expectations of hitting bridges that I wanted to name my cat Fabka, otherwise he goes by the unpatriotic nickname Chuck. All that remains is to persuade my wife.

Now all that remains is for the Czechs to show solidarity with the Ukrainian Reich and, as a sign of protest, withdraw the Fabia series from the line of Skodas produced

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

The best thing is to destroy the enemy’s security forces and thermal power plants in the Sumy, Chernigov and Kharkov regions. Good news .

[Zaurbek]

Well, FOB 3000 will drop Tu22m3, but who will drop 5000?

Bear. He even carried 9000. Moreover, the IL-76 can be adapted. Easily.

[Romario_Argo]

Tu-22M3 can carry FAB-3000

I didn’t find a photo of the Su-34, but the Su-24 carried the FAB-3000
on the Su-34 the bomb load is overloaded and at a shorter range of up to 12 tons,
Su-34 takes exactly FAB-1500 and KAB-1500 up to 3 pieces

[Lord_Raven]

Several years ago there was information about the successful testing of AVBPM, but if they were equipped with a correction module, this would be a serious help in the assault on fortified areas, as it seems to me.

With a guaranteed destruction radius of 300 meters...

And what\what media are provided for such a Miracle? Tu-22M3? Tu-95? The central pylon of the Su-34 with modification? Do you have any idea of ​​the wing span and area for them? Folding?
And how far do they fly? From what height are they launched?
Instead, I would prefer mass deliveries of UPAB-250 and even UPAB-100 (of which there are many in warehouses) with UMPC for massive use along the enemy’s front line and near rear.
And for highly protected purposes, in theory, UPAB-1500 should be enough.

[Romario_Argo]

yes, the Su-34 takes 3 FAB-1500 or KAB-1500 with a combat radius of 1500 km
but, the total bomb load of the airframe is standard 8000 kg, and no more than 12000 kg, with a reduction in combat radius to 1200-1300 km.
theoretically, the Su-34 can take the FAB-3000, as well as the Kh-47M2 Dagger ALCM, which weighs up to 3000 kg (Iskander 9M723 = 3800 kg)
and by the way, the Kh-47M2 is quite voluminous and comparable to the FAB-3000, even with the UMPC

We are looking forward to UPAB-9000. It's perfect for bridges.

The Tu-16 could take only one such bomb and they were actively used at the final stage of the war in Afghanistan in 1988-89. The complete destruction zone is 80 meters from the epicenter of the explosion - for 4 tons of explosives.

It will be interesting to see what kind of blocks there are.

And the carrier? The Tu-16 is long gone, except perhaps the Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 remain, but they don’t come close to the front, they operate cruise missiles from afar.

[KCA]

Exactly how they fell, but I don’t think that our FAB-500 with wings are even close in price to $57000 for a GBU-39 with 13 kg of explosives, I’m sure a half-ton bomb costs less than a 113 kg bomb, mattresses are worth thinking about

[Sergey Koltakov]

Jewelry hit accuracy, Well done Guys

[rotmistr60]

The blows are accurate, but at least one more is missing in the middle.

Destroying the enemy's rear and communications is important...

[opposite28]

Khusnulin got more work

[vovochkarzhevsky]

These are not FAB-500, these are guided munitions. AB from such a height definitely cannot be placed.

[Zaurbek]

We need a lot of UMPCs and need to switch to initially small-diameter gliding bombs.

Apparently, you can’t bomb with simple bombs. Air defense will demolish planes

[Andrey “andrewTSO” D]

Quote: rotmistr60

one in the middle

What for? You can spend the extra bomb elsewhere. But you won’t be able to repair it - you won’t be able to bring heavy equipment to our side, and therefore there’s no point in starting. The warriors will not be able to repair it, and not by hand. In short, there will be no crossing here (for now) in the foreseeable future. And when we need it, we will have to spend less resources and time to restore it

[ric]

Work brothers.
Bombings should be regular.

[amorphous]

This is the second year, and the news on bridges can be counted on one hand. What stopped you from doing this right away? If we had started last year, then probably instead of “regrouping” we would now be standing along the Dnieper at a minimum.

[senima56]

Great hit!

3 and 5 tons? It turns out to be some kind of weak nuclear explosion. TNW starts from a kiloton.

The affected area is not equivalent to the power of the ammunition. Well, that is, the affected area from 10 kt will not be 10 times larger than from 1 kt. Air resistance and all that.
And if you count backwards, 1kt is like the equivalent of two hundred fab-5000. But two hundred Fab-5000 will bomb into dust an area many times larger than a 1-kiloton nuclear bomb.
