MOSCOW, January 13 The Russian Armed Forces will destroy the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with heavy shells FAB-1500, said British expert Alexander Mercouris on his YouTube channel.
“
"These bombs are extremely powerful. In fact, no artillery shell can match the explosive power of one of these bombs. <…> I suspect that along the entire front we will see more and more use of these heavy bombs, causing enormous damage to Ukrainian positions,” the specialist said.
He noted that the FAB-1500 is three times more powerful than the 500- kilogram version of the ammunition, which had previously been used against Ukrainian fighters.
According to him, to destroy the fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbass, the use of such heavy bombs is the best and fastest strategy.
“
"This is exactly what “, as it seems to me, this is what the Russian military is doing, and they will most likely continue this in the near future,” Merkouris concluded.
On the eve of the Russian Ministry of Defense for the first time showed a one and a half ton aerial bomb with a controlled planning and correction module (UMPK) , developed by enterprises of the Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation.
Also, retired Armed Forces Major General Sergei Krivonos stated that Russian high-explosive bombs leave nothing behind the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Northern Military District zone.
