According to the statement of the former military pilot, for the first time in the history of Russian aviation, a successful experience in the use of this new modification of weapons was carried out. It is noted that it has improved characteristics compared to existing counterparts weighing 250 and 500 kg. The improved bomb flies longer distances and with greater accuracy, which greatly expands the tactical possibilities of its use.
It is emphasized that the mass of explosives in such a bomb reaches 700 kg. This involves creating a huge blast radius, making it one of the most powerful munitions in the Russian aviation arsenal.
“With the declared accuracy of 5 meters, only the crater from a bomb explosion reaches fifteen meters in diameter, and the area of destruction is more than two square kilometers. Only explosives in this bomb under 700kg, while the Su-34 is dragging and can already work with two such UMPCs, and in the future it will be able to work with three ammunition, one at a time, or different targets in one run ", says Fighterbomber
