The Armed Forces of Ukraine deny the use of the ODAB-9000 aerial bomb by the Russian Armed Forces in Volchansk

The Ukrainian army has denied the assumptions of some experts that the Russian Armed Forces used the most powerful ODAB-9000 aerial bomb in Volchansk for the first time during the special operation.

The fact that the city was not hit by the aforementioned vacuum munition was stated by the representative of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group “Kharkiv” Vitaliy Sarantsev, whose words are quoted by Ukrainian media.

As the military man put it, a corresponding carrier is needed to deliver such a bomb. In particular, the munition could have been dropped by a Tu-160 strategic bomber.

Meanwhile, according to him, at the time when the strike was carried out, the movement of any of these aircraft was not recorded by the Ukrainian Air Force.

Ранее сообщалось, that the Russian Armed Forces struck one of the major fortified areas in the city of Volchansk in the Kharkov region. At the same time, the footage of the explosion posted online gave rise to a number of disputes and discussions in the expert community.

Many experts have suggested that such an effect could only have been achieved by dropping the ODAB-9000 vacuum bomb, which the media calls the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world.

Although the characteristics of this munition are not disclosed, it is known that the mass of the ODAB-9000 warhead can reach more than 7 tons of explosive.

They did not record the flight of such a carrier... The owners of the plane did not record it, not you, the forelocked ones!!

[private person]

They did not record the flight of such a carrier.

Well, last year here on VO they wrote that the bitches already know when our Aerospace Forces take off from airfields.

Do you have any reason to say so?

when on TV they showed the training use of ODAB-9000 the explosion mushroom was several times bigger

[Orange Bigg]

"One and a half" in Volchansk was written yesterday by the TG channel Fighterbomber. If this is the same strike. Bombs are constantly falling on Volchansk there. Here is a link to the video.

That's right. On video. regular ODAB-1500 with UMPK.

Before writing about 9-ton bombs, it is worth asking whether there are even just aircraft carriers for such aerial bombs today). Unless it is strategists, but for this they would have to enter the enemy's air defense zone, which is still in operation and has not been suppressed.
What is ODAB-9000

An aviation vacuum bomb of increased power. In the world specialized media it is called "the most powerful non-nuclear munition". The bomb is capable of simultaneously hitting an area of ​​180 city blocks.

Previously, there was no data on its use in combat conditions. The only time when the ODAB-9000 was publicly announced to have been tested was on September 11, 2007. Then Channel One showed a video of successful tests - the bomb was dropped by parachute from a Tu-160 bomber

Here is a photo of the explosion of the ODAB-9000, in the video there was no such fire cloud, typical for the ODAB, and the destruction is not comparable.

[Alexander 3]

The main thing for us is that Bandera supporters and mercenaries fly to Bandera at supersonic speeds.

Quote: Ascetic

That's right. The video shows a regular ODAB-1500 with UMPK.

Yes, but the effect is no less than that of a 6-ton FAB. It's good that they started using them, especially since one plane can throw 2-3 of these ODAB-1500 with UMPK at a time. Then just go to the positions and record the consequences.

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

"The Ukrainian Armed Forces deny the use of the ODAB-9000 aerial bomb by the Russian Armed Forces in Volchansk"

— Those who were used do not deny anything at all...

[Ross xnumx]

Many experts have suggested that such an effect could only have been achieved by dropping the ODAB-9000 vacuum bomb, which the media calls the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world.

This is what they wrote after the first reset in 2007:

Little is known about the tactical and technical characteristics of the new bomb: the mass of the explosive is about seven tons, and the power of the explosion is approximately equal to 44 tons in TNT equivalent. The highest military leadership gave an assessment of the weapon immediately after the tests.

In addition, the radius of continuous destruction = 300 meters.

Recorded, not recorded, was, was not, what difference does it make? The result is important.
Let's assume that the fortifications were simply torn down. Very quickly.

[Azim77]

ODAB-9000, which the media calls the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world.

Are there intercontinental missiles without nuclear warheads (like Avangard), but with warheads that are comparable or superior in power? Let them have a shorter range due to a greater throw weight.
If there are any, will their use be considered the use of conventional weapons or tactical nuclear weapons?

[abc_alex]

No. There is no non-nuclear option for filling a warhead comparable to our thermonuclear charges. Note that our charges currently have a record mass/TNT equivalent. There are no equals. For example, a one-ton warhead of Sarmat has a TNT equivalent of 750 kT. This ratio is 1:750. For Onyx, they made a lightweight warhead weighing 000 kilograms and with a capacity of 90 kilotons. Here the ratio is 10:1. No explosive even comes close to such parameters. For example, octogen is about 111111:1. And the most powerful explosive is, I think, 14:1. That is, to obtain an explosion comparable to Hiroshima (20-8 kilotons), 10-400 tons of explosives would be required...
And the ODAB-9000 has a capacity of “only” 44 tons of TNT equivalent.

[Azim77]

The effectiveness of the nuclear warhead by weight is unconditional, that's clear. I mean that the nuclear design limits its use. By political agreements, by influencing people's opinions. But surely there may be a need for high-power explosives that can be launched by a missile without a casus belli? Or would the launch of such a missile be perceived as a nuclear threat in any case?

[abc_alex]

Quote: Azim77

But surely there could be a need for high-power explosives that could be launched by a missile without a casus belli? Or would the launch of such a missile be perceived as a nuclear threat in any case?

And this is the danger of nuclear escalation between the US and Russia. NO ONE will believe that the missile salvo between us is NOT nuclear and will respond with a nuclear strike.
Incidentally, this is why the Europeans once pressured the US to develop and sign the INF Treaty. When Pershings and Pioneers came into service, even the ghostly hope of ending the nuclear doom disappeared...

[KVU-NSVD]

When assessing an explosion, you need to take into account not only the TNT equivalent of the incoming weapon, but also the TNT equivalent of the target being hit. In short, an ordinary 1.5-liter, for example, could have flown into a warehouse of ammunition

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

Our guys used such a bomb after an unsuccessful (to put it mildly) attempt to storm this Volchansk earlier in the morning on October 1. Z-storm attack aircraft (prisoners) were going on 17 MTLB vehicles. The composition was "eyeballed" at about 200 people. All MTLBs were stuffed and hung with people.
without cover, artillery preparation, etc. They wanted to come across a sleeping Ukrainian.

details and how it ended and photos and videos are in TG.
I don't want to agitate anyone, I won't give names. It's posted on all channels that don't relish the phrases "we'll take Kyiv tomorrow" or "we haven't started yet".
There was nothing there that morning that was good or victorious from the results of the assault.
The bomb was used after the results of the assault.

I had one question - why wasn't it used BEFORE the assault?
the result of the assault would have been different. And now we would be reading about how the breakthrough in Volchansk went, etc.

[9PA]

Maybe they are starting to dispose of the ZK in this way

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

Can you imagine what you just wrote?
whatever kind of prisoners there are, whatever kind of "suicide cannibals" go into battle, they are people, first and foremost, and soldiers. Potentially, in capable hands, without sloppiness and with motivation, and competent commanders - the same prisoners took Bakhmut and the Ukrainians fled at the thought of who they were fighting against.

but here it’s just stupidity, idiocy, and not a single major or colonel will suffer later for such an “unsuccessful” assault.
And these conditionally 200 people are now missing somewhere at the front and they will no longer bring any benefit to our country. Only expenses.

[9PA]

Then I don’t see any other practical reasons for not using 2-3 such bombs before the assault you described.

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

That's what I'm talking about..
Today I'll have to collect minuses for this post.
The hurray-patriots don't know how to watch anything other than Kiselyov-Soloviev, and the TG channels only read hurray-victory ones. But the truth of the war - here it is - in the neighboring channel.
I wonder if all this will surface anywhere in a couple of days? Or will they go silent?
I feel sorry for the men. They believed in the amnesty and went to atone with blood.
Redeemed.

[9PA]

A correctly formulated question already contains most of the answer

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

The author of the "news" (who, according to the "grandfathers-amateurs" below, is allegedly for the Ukrainians) about the stormtroopers on the morning of 01.10 and their fates asks a simple question - WHY couldn't these ODAB bombs have been used BEFORE the assault. They would have saved lives, they would have bragged in the news about the successful advance.

questions... to the one leading the assault on Volchansk there are.

[Dilettante grandfather]

Our guys used such a bomb after an unsuccessful (to put it mildly) attempt to storm this Volchansk earlier in the morning on October 1.

Will you provide evidence or not? Should I believe your words? CIPSO - it certainly works. But you haven't convinced me.

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

Comrade provocateur.
I'll post a screenshot, no problem.
Go to TG and check everything yourself.
Today there was a second post from this author about details and also almost 1000 comments and facts were also given there.
These are big bloggers - for 200k, small bloggers for 10k also publish such things, but who believes them? This is not a political observer Skabeeva, there is a post below, an expert in military matters better than me and you.

for comrade majors - what is written on the screen - I do not support, I do not agree with the author, my smiles are not there. My opinion - Ours cheerfully and confidently went to the assault, completed all the tasks, retreated to a more advantageous position. There were no losses.
I don't believe in photomontage and video deep fakes.

I hope I won't get the article for disclosure and so on.

[Dilettante grandfather]

You, comrade, don't start writing nonsense here. Especially, continue posting enemy channels. This is not TG. You wrote here - you provide evidence. Documentary.
I don't give a damn about your search for dubious characters in TG Here - You this was written. So please be kind - documentary evidence..

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

and how is this channel hostile?
by publishing things like this and calling things by their proper names without censorship?

or do you not agree with what you see in the picture now and there is a lie-provocation-Ukrainianism?

this is today's publication. as the practice of this TG channel has shown - any information from it, only a couple of hours or days later on ORT will announce the same thing.

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

TG published at 18.42:XNUMX.
I just opened Yandex news and entered a query.
20.50 time
Only at 19.00-19.30+ our media started to officially publish.

[Olesya Lesya]

There are also plenty of these (tsipsoshniks and just khakhels) on this site, judging by observations. Well, of course, in case of anything, there is a sharp defense in the style of - watch the TV box and I will tell the truth to Dartanya here. Such people immediately have this narrative.
Of course, there are patriotic critics, but there is enough of this biomass. Since 2022, they have been taught.

[Nastia makarova]

no need to post ukrop nonsense, there was a video and photo of only one destroyed MTLB and several corpses near it and that's it, the 200 is a fake

[Dedok]

I had one question - why wasn't it used BEFORE the assault?
the result of the assault would have been different. And now we would be reading about how the breakthrough in Volchansk went, etc.

these questions have been hanging in the air for almost 3 years....

[61-th]

Political observer Olga Skabeeva denied the information that the Russian army used the ODAB-9000 vacuum aerial bomb to strike the Ukrainian Armed Forces fortifications in Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast. In her Telegram channel, she reported: "For now, stand down: we are not talking about the ODAB-9000. We are not passing off wishful thinking as reality."

They hit it, the Banderogeys liked it. So we have to repeat it.

[Huarabey]

Yes, there is a video of the ODAB 9000 tests, there are two explosions going one after another, but in the video there is only one.

[falcon]

We do not have carriers for combat use of ammunition of such caliber. Tu-160 is not a bomber, but a missile carrier, it is not designed for dropping bombs. Theoretically, it can be dropped from the hold of the transport, but in this situation it is not applicable.

[duschman80-81]

In Afghanistan, mountains were leveled like this.

[abc_alex]

There were no such things in Afghanistan before. It was developed in 2007.

[duschman80-81]

FAB 1500, that's what I meant.

[ex_paragon]

And if they did, then what? Whining is not taken into account

[digger]

Yes, this video has already been chewed over and ODAB-1500 was used in it because no one has ever used ODAB-9000 in the entire history and in general you have to be completely feeble-minded to think that they have already tested and mass-produced UPMK for 9-ton bombs. They do not exist and never have been. And only Tu-22M3 or Tu-160 can carry such a carcass and only drop it over the target... and this is from the realm of fantasy. Moreover, the explosion of ODAB-9000 would have erased and blown away all the houses within a radius of 300 meters around with lunar soil.

[Petr_Koldunov]

When the strike was carried out, the Ukrainian Air Force did not record the movements of any of these aircraft.

Why should the Ukrainian Air Force record this? This is the concern of the Air Defense, not the Air Force. But this is nonsense, really...
The main thing is that Ukraine, with all its efforts, cannot record the takeoffs and flights of our strategists...all this is done by NATO surveillance forces, who graciously pass on the data to their friends in the bag...

[Pavlenko Valery]

You are fucking strategists, and you were there, they saw a column of smoke. Tu 160 can easily enter, using Alabuga. This system jams all air defense and other things. In good weather up to 8 thousand km, bad up to 5 thousand km. They simply jammed for a certain period of time. Tu 160 supersonic five minutes is enough to not enter the affected area. You saw it yourself, even from FAB 5000 the mushroom from the explosion is weaker.

[Pavlenko Valery]

In Afghanistan, they couldn't take the mountain fortifications for a long time. Smart heads thought of it and dropped 200-ton liter barrels with solarium and other flammable mixture in very large quantities, then set fire to an incendiary shell and everything just burned down with stones. So the Ukrainians need to be smoked out from everywhere, cheap and cheerful. We have enough solarium, think of an UMPC that will fly further and further. True, the solarium will stink of lard. All forest belts will simply turn to ashes. The Ukrainian will burn and only the scorched ones will be left.
