MOSCOW, July 24 Vladimir Zelensky demanded that the West help improve air defense in Ukraine because of Russian glide bombs, writes a German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau.
“This is one of the reasons why Ukraine and, in particular, Vladimir Zelensky have repeatedly desperately asked Western countries to strengthen their air defense capabilities — including recently at the NATO summit,” the publication noted.
Air bombs can cause explosive damage within a radius of up to 200 meters, the material says. In addition, the fragments scatter over a distance of more than a kilometer, the article emphasized.
In March, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the launch of mass production of three-ton high-explosive aerial bombs FAB-3000. As Russian military expert Alexey Leonkov said, a three-ton aerial bomb has such destructive power that it can be used to storm especially fortified areas, in addition, new technologies will turn it into practically a high-precision weapon.
The Russian Aerospace Forces actively use aerial bombs equipped with universal planning and correction modules (UMPC), in the NWO zone. Combat aircraft have the opportunity to strike at fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces without exposing themselves to fire from enemy anti-aircraft missile systems.
