During the offensive in Kharkiv region, russian forces reportedly deployed new super-heavy bomb equipped with unified gliding and correction module (UMPK), enhancing its precision. On Friday, June 21, russian media quoted russian military official who deemed the operation involving this powerful device “successful”.
Previously, russian media circulated two videos claiming the use of the FAB-3000 bomb equipped with UMPK. This bomb has a declared explosive mass of 1.2 tons. Glide bombs are advantageous because they can be dropped by combat aircraft outside the range of Ukrainian air defense systems, offering significantly higher accuracy than unguided bombs.
