The russian JSC Tactical Missiles Corporation has developed a FAB-1500 bomb with a UMPK (Unified Gliding and Correction Module) bomb kit.
In early September 2023, it became known about the first attempts to use them on the battlefield, but now there is also a video from the production.

This happened thanks to the war criminal and russian Minister of Defense Shoigu, who made a visit to the industrial facilities of the enterprise located near Moscow.
The manufactured FAB-1500 guided bomb is equipped with a new version of the UMPK kit, designed to enhance both range and guidance accuracy based on satellite coordinates. Furthermore, the FAB-1500 bomb has been redesigned with an improved aerodynamic profile.
Interestingly, one of the frames captured the brands of machines used in Russia for the production of this weaponry.
In the background, the trademark of the machine, Hision from the Chinese company Haitian Precision, is visible.
It should be noted that, unlike most European, Japanese, and American companies, China has not exited the russian machine tool market and, evidently, has increased its supplies.
But in addition to the Chinese machine tool in this frame, the Japanese Multus machine from Okuma company is also recorded. It is unknown whether it was purchased after the withdrawal of Japanese companies from russia.
So, when it comes to sanctions, they should apply not only to components. Additionally, it is necessary to strengthen control over the supply of equipment to russia, on which weapons are manufactured.
