Western media: Great Britain decided to supply Paveway IV precision bombs to Ukraine

The British authorities decided to transfer high-precision weapons to the Kyiv regime. aviation Paveway IV bombs. This was reported by Western media citing informed sources.

Earlier, during a visit to Poland, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced new military assistance to Ukraine. He also stated that London will provide support to Kyiv as long as Ukraine needs this support.



It is known about the Paveway IV aerial bombs that they are an updated version of the Mark 82 free-fall high-explosive bomb. Such aerial bombs are usually launched from Eurofighter Typhoon and Tornado GR4 aircraft, which are in service with the air forces of a number of European countries. However, in Ukraine, Ukrainian Soviet-made MiG-29 and Su-27 aircraft will be adapted to use these aerial bombs.

Air bombs of this type have inertial navigation and GPS, which increases the accuracy of strikes. Target designation tasks are also simplified. The bombs are designed to destroy fortified targets, including hangars and command posts.

Currently, such bombs are used by the air forces of the United States, Great Britain and Saudi Arabia. Now, therefore, Ukraine has appeared on the list of countries armed with this type of ammunition. Probably, the British authorities expect that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to use such bombs to strike Russian military targets in the liberated territories and in the front-line zone.

    By the way, according to rumors, the Kharkov TV tower was hit by the newest domestic bomb UMPB D-30SN. What kind of guidance system did they attach to it?

    . A TV tower located in Kharkov, which served the neo-Nazi formations of the Kyiv regime for military purposes, was hit by the latest Russian ammunition - UMPB D-30SN. About it with reference to the Telegram channel "Military Informant", reports "RG: Russian weapons".It was reported that the object was hit by the Kh-59 Gadfly aircraft missile, but later it became known that a relatively recently developed high-precision weapon was used.

        We should have thought about this back in 2014. Instead of saying that we will come to an agreement. Well, what have we agreed?
        But when you read news like the one below, you actually want to ask what is actually happening in our country and who is driving it?

        MOSCOW, April 24 – RIA Novosti. Serbian volunteer Alexander Jokic, fighting on the side of Russia, is threatened with deportation and a long prison sentence for participating in a special operation, State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein reported on the Telegram channel.
        “A volunteer from Serbia who fights for Russian interests in the Northern Military District faces deportation to his homeland, where he will be given 25 years in prison under the article “Mercenarism,” he wrote.
        The deputy said that Jokic participated in the liberation of Mariupol and in the battles near Ugledar, where he was wounded. According to Khinshtein, the fighter was awarded the St. George Cross of the 1st and 3rd degrees, as well as the medal “For the Liberation of Mariupol.”
        At the same time, Jokic was denied Russian citizenship four times due to the fact that he entered into a contract with the DPR, and not with the Ministry of Defense, Khinshtein noted.

            The fact is that migrants from the same Central Asia, as a rule, do not have problems in obtaining Russian citizenship, but here a participant and Hero of the Northern Military District is denied Russian citizenship 4 times.

                My wife is Russian, she speaks Russian fluently and doesn’t know any other languages. It took me 5 years to obtain citizenship. I already wanted to give up on everything and leave, right up to the divorce. Naturally, I didn’t work for 5 years. At 11 pm we stood in line to get to the reception at 10 am and find out that there was a missing translation of the seal installed in 1972, and in which all the words were Russian. In -25 frost, we stood outside for 4 hours waiting for an appointment. And there were hundreds like her there. And yes, the majority were Russians, or Slavs. Much, of course, has already been forgotten because 10 years have passed, but I remember a lot.

        Without waiting for peritonitis... but, as everything seems from the outside, with a toothless and strange conduct of a strange military operation, we still waited for peritonitis. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, which were nothing in 2014 and a little better (but also not so hot) in 2022, are now a powerful army, supplied WITHOUT LIMITATIONS with the most modern weapons and ammunition, provided by satellite intelligence and the most accurate NATO target designations.
        Stubborn reluctance to hit cities nullifies all the fuss on the LBS, where Russian soldiers show simply miracles of courage and heroism... and in the end it turns out to be all in vain! Because once again the command is not going to demolish the urban buildings in which the entire air defense infrastructure of the Ukrainian Reich is hidden!
        And this is three times strange - because we all know very well that when, after numerous losses, at the cost of incredible heroism, our guys enter the city, the dill themselves will blow up everything so that nothing goes to the enemy. And they themselves will survive by retreating, and they will put our boys to death!
        So why then are these unforced losses of our soldiers needed, if this part can be skipped - and these same neighborhoods can be destroyed while UKRAINIAN, and not Russian, soldiers are sitting there!
        After all, either way, raise the banner of Victory over the ruins... but in the second case, many more Ukronazis will be cut down, and many more of our fighters will be alive!

          a little better (but also not so hot) - in 2022

          In 2014, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were practically incapable of combat. In 2022, they were not “slightly” better, but much better, as our Armed Forces learned from bitter experience. Although yes, they were very far from a full-fledged “NATO model” army, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces positioned themselves as. Yes and now too
          supplied WITHOUT LIMITATIONS with the most modern weapons and ammunition

          No restrictions at all? The Armed Forces of Ukraine began to receive the entire range of Western fighter, attack and strike aircraft, brigade-mounted ground armored vehicles and long-range missiles (not in tens, but in thousands)? As far as I know - no. Maybe I'm wrong, but then I would like proofs. So far, we see that although the assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is very serious, it is only the smallest part of the military potential of the United States and NATO. And this painfully unpleasant thought must be kept in mind
          Stubborn reluctance to hit cities nullifies all the fuss on LBS

          What cities are we talking about? If we talk about the rear, then strikes are carried out measuredly against individual targets as possible and necessary. There is no point in bombing cities just like that. If we talk about front-line forces, then our armed forces there use the entire range of conventional weapons that we have. If the FAB-1500 is already being used, what kind of “reluctance” can we talk about here?

      Range 30km. from a height of over 10000 m. I hope that when we rise to such a height, our air forces (and even enter the S-400 destruction zone) will finish off the remnants of the non-brothers’ aviation, and on this I agree with you. Otherwise, this is a very dangerous and bad thing.

          As for the carrier, I support it and wrote about it myself. But I called it “dangerous” because more than one dugout and building will not withstand it, i.e. any shelter on the LBS with this bomb becomes potentially dangerous. P.S. I just talked with colleagues who participated in the creation of the “Surovikin line” and the dugouts there are capable of withstanding a direct hit of 155 ml. land mine.

        Paveway IV is the latest version of the Paveway bomb family. The projectile was developed by Raytheon UK. It has a dual-mode navigation system: satellite GPS or inertial INS. It is based on a modified Mk 82 aerial bomb with increased penetration ability.

        The Paveway IV entered service with the British Armed Forces in 2008. The mass of the bomb is 230 kg. Targeting occurs using a laser pointer in any navigation mode. After being dropped, it performs a gliding descent using its tail control rudders. The increased accuracy of the system makes it possible to reduce the weight of the warhead by half compared to earlier versions of Paveway. Currently, the carriers of the aerial bomb are fighters: Eurofighter Typhoon, F-35, Panavia Tornado, Harrier II.

        The authors of the Telegram channel “Military Chronicle” confirmed that the UK plans to send these shells to Ukraine.
        “The UK will send Paveway IV bombs to Ukraine. The Paveway IV is a 500 lb (227 kg) GPS/laser-guided bomb. The maximum range of Paveway IV from the target is more than 30 km, depending on the height of the fall, speed and flight path,” the publication says.

    So at the moment the Su-27 and MiG-29 will be adapted to use these bombs.
    With the principle “fly the bomb somewhere over there.”

    And when will F-16s appear with targeting containers for which such bombs are standard weapons?

I also repeat: these bombs have no wings, only tails and even enough to throw them 30 km. you have to rise very high. Also, the bomb is free-falling, i.e. there are no accelerators

      The targeting container allows you to independently conduct target reconnaissance.
      And if the target is detected, then there is no difference - guidance is laser, satellite and inertial, the accuracy of the reset has little effect if the range is sufficient..
      After being dropped, it does not fly very far, the range of the laser illumination is also limited, that is, the bomb is for attacks directly on the front line, for example, against strong points.

        Western targeting containers will not be able to be integrated with existing Ukrainian Armed Forces aircraft (MiG-29, Su-24, Su-27) in the foreseeable future. But targeting containers can be supplied by UkroVVS along with the promised F-16AM. Consequently, the Paveway IV bombs are planned to be supplied to the F-16AV, otherwise there is little point in them.

    Well, as of 23.02.22/27/40 there were approximately XNUMX Su-XNUMXs alone in Ukraine.
    Taking into account those that have been in storage for a long time.

    How much was lost in 2 years is unknown, probably about half of that or more.
    That is, there are still 15-20 cars in the area.

    But there were more MiG-29s and there were more losses + deliveries from Slovakia and Poland in the amount of several dozen.
    But this is more like HARM media it is used.

    That is, the Su-27, taking into account its payload capacity, is still the main aircraft most suitable for this.

Or do you think that they will receive a missile strike and everyone there will come to their senses and become afraid?
