Kharkiv Mayor: Russian Armed Forces strike target in Kharkiv with Grom-E1 air-launched “bomb missile” for the first time

The Russian Armed Forces allegedly struck a target in Kharkov for the first time since the start of military operations aviation "Grom-E1" "bomb missile". This atypical munition was used on August 31.

Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov made this announcement on his Telegram channel, specifying that the Russians used a hybrid of a guided missile and an aerial bomb for the strike.

After a brief period of calm, Russia again stepped up its attacks on Kharkov in August

- He wrote.

During an interview with Ukrainian television journalists, the head of the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office, Spartak Borisenko, specified that a Russian Su-34 bomber served as a platform for launching the munition. According to him, the aircraft, while flying over the territory of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, struck an object in the Slobodsky district of Kharkiv.

Borisenko did not specify where exactly the Russians aimed the Grom-E1 missile, but said that, among other things, the explosion damaged administrative buildings and production facilities. According to him, the Russian military had previously used this munition to strike targets in Kharkov.

Borisenko stated that the mass of its warhead is 315 kilograms, and the maximum range is 120 km.

This missile is more powerful and accurate than the FAB-500

- said a senior official of the Ukrainian prosecutor's office.

Earlier, the Ukrainian press reported that on August 30, the Russian Armed Forces carried out an attack on facilities in Kharkov, using guided aerial bombs (GAB).

And what is better for dill, FAB or ODAB? Should dill be fried or chopped?

[Alexey Lantukh]

That's what we needed! Now we're increasing the range and weight! Congratulations to the engineers, workers, and pilots on their success!

[sgrabik]

I agree, it's a good start, now we need to not stop there and systematically increase the weight of the warhead to 350 kg and the range to 150 km. And of course, we need to increase serial production of this type of ammunition many times over, while simultaneously improving their performance characteristics.

[ZloyCat]

"That's what we need! Now we're increasing the range and weight! Congratulations to the engineers, workers, and pilots on their success!"
Now we need to somehow move from damage to administration buildings to damage to strategic facilities, like the oil storage facilities in Proletarsk, for example.

You will still have to test many of our new weapons on yourself.

[Nexcom]

They write that three-liter canisters with UMPK are being improved - our pilots are eagerly awaiting them. The UMPK-PD is being improved based on the half-liter canister - the range and accuracy have been increased many times. This variant is being improved into a high-precision one. Kakely - expect gifts. Soon.

[by land]

The Jews use one-ton bombs to destroy large apartment buildings, so it is completely unclear in what situations a three-ton bomb is needed.

[by land]

If you watch the video, it's clear that the buildings are collapsing because the bombs hit the supporting structure directly. These bombs also have fuses that can be programmed to explode at different depths to cause maximum damage. If you have precision bombs and a modern fuse, 1 ton can easily bring down a building. And if it's too big, you just use 2 or 3, which also puts fewer restrictions on the maneuverability of the aircraft compared to one massive bomb.

[Dima68]

Have you seen how they build in that region? I have not been to Gaza, I have been to Egypt, Israel and Jordan. The walls there are thin, and the supporting structures are weaker. And besides, the Israeli Air Force strikes without fear of air defense, there is simply none there. You can strike from any distance and as much as necessary.

It is completely unclear in what situations a three-ton bomb is needed

In Soviet times, a large number of all kinds of bunkers and shelters for equipment were built throughout the Ukrainian SSR. They will be useful for opening them.

[by land]

This requires, first of all, a reinforced streamlined casing for penetration, a modern programmable fuse and, most importantly, high accuracy. Something like a 2,5-ton GBU-72, for example. A 3-ton bomb with a standard contract fuse, exploding "somewhere nearby", will not cause much damage to a buried bunker. Therefore, in my opinion, it is important, first of all, to make a new bomb with modern characteristics and improve accuracy, rather than renew the production of obsolete products.

[Stardock]

The power of a bomb is inversely proportional to the accuracy of its guidance.

[former soldier]

It is completely unclear in what situations a three-ton bomb is needed.

remember the dungeons of Avdiivka and Mariupol

[neworange88]

It seems that the UMPK-PD has already been modified for the FAB-500T. The range of destruction has become the same as the JDAM-ER.

[ZloyCat]

"Kakely - expect gifts. Soon."
Well, so what? They've already been used, these three-liter bottles, and what, something's burning, like in Proletarsk?

[Egeny]

.............Is Msi from the outskirts? You wouldn't think so.)

[Smoked]

Do we have an analogue of GLSDB?

[Nexcom]

And why not? The only difference is that they take stale cast iron from warehouses and screw on smart wings.....
Cheap and cheerful.

[Smoked]

No, that's a different idea. The Americans, it's when they take an old bomb from a warehouse and an old rocket engine, also from a warehouse, marry the whole thing, attach a modern guidance system and voila - an advanced type of weapon for a small amount of money paid a long time ago.

[igorbrsv]

. they take an old bomb from a warehouse and an old rocket engine, also from a warehouse, they marry the whole thing, attach a modern guidance system

We think the same way

[Smoked]

God willing, if it's true. Maybe then they'll pay attention to the American system of sea mines. The principle is the same there, only to the old bomb from the warehouse in addition to the wings they also attach a system of sea detonation of the bottom mine. It's possible to throw water areas.

and an old rocket engine

Not reliable.
A gunpowder engine can simply explode over time (meaning if it's old).
If the engines are liquid - try to find something like that. And they are complicated...

[Smoked]

Maybe it happened. And maybe chemists have come up with a miracle way to extend life a little. Who will tell the trade secret, what in the USA, what by the way here.

I don't think that chemists can handle cracks from impacts or simply time.
And the effect they produce is simply amazing.

Its capabilities have been demonstrated. The million dollar question: - who did the work?

[Smoked]

Well, if so, then good. At first, the pilots were pleased that instead of "Gefest" and free-bombing, suddenly "wings" were rediscovered, now look, they will discover an analogue of GLSDB, ideally, a ground launch, so as not to risk military flights.

[Captain Pushkin]

Quote: Smoked

maybe they'll discover an analogue of GLSDB, ideally one that's launched from the ground, so as not to risk military flights.

In addition to the risk of military flights, there is also the waste of resources of expensive aircraft and tons of kerosene for each flight.
I vote for launching from a ground-based installation for a range of up to 150-200 km.

[Smoked]

I'm all for it. The only problem is the costs to the state because of "everything for the front, everything for victory" suddenly in the conditions of capitalism. It's not like the US, standing aside and collecting profits from those around you.

[ZloyCat]

"and tons of kerosene for each flight."
Who cares about this kerosene, except for Lukoil? It supplies both VSU and VSRF with diesel fuel and everyone is happy

Kerosene costs money, and one Su-34 flight costs a lot of money.
War requires three things: money, money, and more money. Said 500 years ago, and still relevant today.
There is such a criterion "cost-effectiveness". Any resource has a cost and it must be spent economically, with minimal expenses and with maximum effect - there is no such thing as an extra resource in war.

[ZloyCat]

"It must be done economically, with minimal costs and with maximum effect"
In Proletarsk, kerosene has been used with maximum effect for the third week

Something like that, only with a warhead almost two and a half times greater than the weight of the entire GBU-39, on the basis of which the GLSDB is made (the weight of the Grom-E1 warhead is 315 kg; the weight of the GBU-39 is 130 kg).

[LuckyBlog]

we have an analogue, UMBP, it is launched both from an airplane and from Smerch, however there is one BUT, all the components there seem to be new, and not a remake of the old ones. maybe they will mature to this idea (remake of the old ones) or maybe because of the mismatch or incompatibility of the calibers.

If you screw wings onto the old Smerch projectile, it won't fit into the launch tube. You'll also need to make the launcher not tubular but with rail guides, like the Katyusha (BM-13)

[LuckyBlog]

there they attach wings to the ammunition, and they are folded

[Piramidon]

Quote: LuckyBlog

Judging by the bombs to which the wings are attached, even when folded they protrude beyond the dimensions (diameter) of the bomb in the form of a rather hefty pad, and the tube on the launcher exactly matches the diameter of the projectile and it will not fit into it with the pad. The projectile must be completely redesigned (made new).

[foxes]

I hope they made the explosives more powerful there. Otherwise, in the footage of the use of domestic and NATO ammunition, the difference is immediately visible, not in our favor.

[Peter1First]

Hey, the only ammunition research institute in Russia was disbanded many years ago, that's why there is no variety of shells, no modern explosives for their equipment, no accuracy and range, but only quantity...

[Comrade Beria]

Rumors of his death turned out to be a bit exaggerated, as was the fact that he was the one and only.

[rocket757]

Actually, what difference does it make what, the main thing is that it is effective!
And yes, if the product works as it should, no problem, we need to make it serial. Serious close-range weapons will be very appropriate.

[Nexcom]

I'm looking forward to the three-liter bottle - the kakes will shit on it like hellish punishment. Even if it misses - there will be countless concussed people there...

[rocket757]

It is clear that powerful ammunition, in addition to causing serious destruction, also has a psychological impact on the enemy’s armored personnel carriers.
Nobody wants to be atomized, and even becoming disabled is not something anyone wants to do...

[Nexcom]

They are shocked by the funnels from the three-liter bottles, dear sir.
And how the roofs are blown off the buildings.
This has a strong psychological impact on them.

[rocket757]

Well, if any waste heap hits the top, what will be left of it?

[Argon]

I was thinking about the craters too. Is it possible to detonate them above the ground, rather than on contact? In that case, the area of ​​destruction would increase. No?

[Incvizitor]

I think some additional sensor is needed to program the detonation when approaching the strike target at a specific altitude of 30-50 meters, for example...

[ZloyCat]

"I was thinking about the craters too. Is it possible to blow them up above the ground?"
Yes, the Americans used them back in 1942, they're called radio fuses. But we can't.

[ZloyCat]

"Even if it's past - "
Yes, I should get there, otherwise all these conversations smoothly flow into legends

[Glagol1]

There seem to be two of them:
Grom 1 is more of a missile, and Grom 2 is more of a glide bomb. It's interesting what they used. In any case, the weapon is powerful, 600 kg weight, 300 kg warhead. It can be launched without entering the enemy's air defense zone, the range is 100-120 km.
There remains one question: how much money does it cost? Most likely several million, 3-5. In any case, the goals must be worthy.

[igorbrsv]

For 5 million rubles you can find many worthy targets - any armored vehicle, any substation near a house

[16112014nk]

If the photo shows the site of a bomb attack, then one is clearly not enough.

[Leshak]

SU 34 is the main workhorse of the SVO. What kind of ammunition hasn't been given to the non-brothers. I think this won't be the last thing the "duckling" will deliver to the enemy's heads, the Ukrops will be surprised more than once.

[Eug]

From the photo it looks quite similar to the training rink of the Sports Palace, behind it there seems to be a multi-storey building on Olimpiyskaya Street.

[svarog77]

This is the shopping center on Academician Pavlov Street, which was taken over by the Azovites, the offended owner posted a video... and here is the result.

[Eug]

I can't agree with you. I've been to the shopping center on Ak. Pavlova many times, as well as to the Olympic and the Sports Palace. I wrote about the attack on the former building and the territory of the shoe factory Era on the neighboring thread.

[Incvizitor]

Well, there was news about the palace.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

The new UMPK-PD ("increased range") on the FAB-500M62 have also entered service. Thanks to the increase in the wing, the range of these bombs has increased many times over. This allows for a significant expansion of the bombers' capabilities in hitting targets located at a great distance, and most importantly, without flying into the enemy's air defense zone. We are improving

[_DD_]

Such is the fate of the conscious, to be voluntary test subjects in the use of both Western and Russian weapons

No leader, no other sane country or nation would allow itself to be turned into a testing ground for new strategies and means, but Ukraine is an exception to common sense.

[Neo-9947]

That's exactly how it was. Or almost so.
Until August 6th.

[Comrade Beria]

And here's more good news.

"Our UAC has handed over another batch of serial Su-34 frontline bombers to the Russian Aerospace Forces. Today, these aircraft are in great demand in the troops. They are the ones that use high-precision munitions with a universal planning and correction module, which have proven highly effective in the air defense zone," Rostec said in a statement.

The previous batch was delivered on June 17, 2024.
