What is known about the ODAB-1500 aerial bomb of the Russian Federation
According to rossMI, the Russians dropped such a bomb on the village of Velika Pysarivka in the Sumy region.
Open data analysis expert Julian Röpke noted that the use of a 1.5-ton bomb in a populated area is "a new bottom in Russia's war against Ukrainian cities."
It is worth noting that a volume-detonating aerial bomb is a thermobaric projectile from the time of the USSR, which releases a combustible mixture in the form of an aerosol approximately 10 meters from the target and ignites it — a volume explosion occurs.
Such ammunition has a greater impact than the classic one. The occupiers used to use ODAB from 170 to 500 kilograms.
Military and political commentator Oleksandr Kovalenko previously noted that this is the first verified use of such a powerful bomb in the Sumy region. Kovalenko noted that the area affected by the ODAB-1500y is 500 square meters.
