The Russian Armed Forces intensified strikes against the Ukrainian Armed Forces RBK-500 in response to Ukraine's use of American cluster munitions

The Russian army is increasingly striking at positions of Ukrainian forces using RBK-500 cluster munitions. This follows from reports from Russian military sources showing footage of the use of RBK-500 at the locations of Ukrainian positions.

The use of the RBK-500 by our units was a worthy response to the actions of the Ukrainian troops, who began using cluster munitions much earlier. At one time, representatives of the Kyiv regime were very happy about the cluster munitions supplied from the United States. For some reason, they did not imagine that Russia could begin to use such bombs and shells at the front.

Now, perhaps, an epiphany is beginning to come to Ukrainian military commanders and political leaders. The Russian army has large reserves of such ammunition, so attacks on Ukrainian positions can be carried out frequently with their help, and this has already caused plenty of problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As you know, the RBK-500 is a cluster bomb that entered service with the USSR Air Force back in 1987. One RBK-500 cassette can hold 15 Motiv-3 or Motiv-3M anti-tank ammunition. At a certain height the cassette opens. After this, the submunitions are dispersed.

As a result, with the help of cluster bombs it is possible to achieve an impressive result in terms of defeating enemy personnel in a certain territory. Such bombs show their high effectiveness in deterring enemy offensive actions or carrying out rotations, as well as in destroying enemy infantry positions over a fairly impressive area.

It won't be enough for them. We need thousands of these...

A bomb cannot be the answer to many shells

And a lot of bombs, maybe!

For the Scripture says: “What is hateful to you, do not do to anyone.” - Tobit 4:15 - Tob 4:15: https://bible.by/verse/77/4/15/.
And Newton's third law says: "The force of action is equal to the force of reaction."
But Raguli read neither one nor the other.

In response... That's all the answer. Some kind of game. "You hit me two times! I'll hit you two times!"

[Arsan Emed]

Yes, they write nonsense, even in the major media: “response... response”, just some kind of bullshit by pimply youths. The wet dreams of the first days and weeks of the Northern Military District, when they played at nobility and fraternal peoples, have long since dissipated. There, on the LBS they quickly realized this, on the parquet floors of the Arbat later, but it began to dawn that there was a war of destruction going on, but the politicians were holding hands. An answer can be called an answer if after it there is either no opportunity to answer, or there is no one left to answer. Otherwise it turns out to be masturbation

How are things going with the Dzhankoy airfield where 5 or 6 Atakms with a cluster warhead arrived? It’s strange that Konashenkov is silent, usually saying that “everything was shot down and there were no casualties.”

[suhorukofal]

Who is talking about what, but TsIPSO will fit into any topic with its comments. Why don’t you remember about the night arrivals in the cities of Ukraine, there were many more of them and it was more fun to discuss, a big subject for discussion was where they arrived, how many 200 the Armed Forces of Ukraine had, what was out of action.
Soon you will be getting into topics about pickles on YouTube.

will fly in response tenfold. Take it into account.

[Victor Leningradets]

This is how we should have fought two years ago. There was no dominance of drones yet, aviation was still operating relatively freely, the enemy had not yet overgrown defensive lines, and there were plenty of cluster bombs. Everything is answered, everything is late!

. There was no dominance of drones yet, aviation was still operating relatively freely

Don’t fantasize, aviation began to operate freely near Avdiivka, before that they tried not to use it, it was fraught with losses, so the air defense was not disabled. And don’t be ridiculous about drones; the enemy was initially superior to us in drones. That they didn’t use it for other reasons, maybe they just wanted to avoid supplying these ammunition to Ukraine. Here you can understand our big heads.

And they deserve to receive such “gifts” every day. As far as I know, there are enough of these bombs in warehouses since Soviet times to actively use them and not only in response.

Author, which “Motiv”? In terms of the gaps, it looks like the AO-2,5 RTM, and not the SPBE “Motiv”. This resource already had many articles on various RBK-500 cassette equipment. Don’t have time to figure it out?

Here is a video using SPBE "Motive": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5adpXRBHPM

Cluster munitions are most effective against an uncovered enemy. And for planting, it would be a good idea to treat the dill with napalm.

Beautiful. The Kiev cutlet was a success!

The airfield lives, expect big greetings from there and gallop in the dark.

[Arisaka]

Why the answer? Cassettes are not prohibited, nor are white phosphorus shells. None of ours or our enemies like the United States signed any documents on the restriction. The memorandums were signed by those who would not fight.
And memoranda and so on are of a recommendatory nature.

We fight and produce and use the full range of what is appropriate. And cassette tapes and bombs and MLRS and everything we have.
I understand that this is a manual from above to show the enemy as dishonest, and we are knights in shining armor. But it reads somehow pathetically.

[NSV]

It was high time!!! Shoigu promised long ago.

[NW]

Again the answer. Even from a propaganda perspective, this looks flawed. To win you need PROactivity.
