The Russian Federation is again changing its tactics at the front
The Ministry of Defense of Great Britain draws attention to the fact that during the current month, the Air Force of the occupation army of the Russian Federation began to use the 500-kilogram cluster bomb RBK-500 more often.
What is essential to understand is that, depending on the variant, such an aerial bomb is capable of releasing from 100 to 350 submunitions, which usually explode either with hundreds of high-speed fragments or with one sizeable cumulative projectile.
In addition, it is emphasized that the soldiers of the Russian Federation are using the RBK-500 against the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Vugledar axis and near Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.
According to foreign intelligence, the aggressor country could add the IMPC [Installable Module of Planning and Correction — Ed] module to the RBK-500 aerial bomb.
They also warn that it enables the carrier aircraft to release the munition many kilometres from the target.
The Ministry of Defense of Great Britain notes that Russian glide bombs usually have low accuracy.
