The criminal army of the Russian Federation uses high-powered FAB-1500 aerial bombs against the Ukrainian military in Donetsk region, which destroy the defense lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
What is known about the consequences of the use of the FAB-1500 by the Russian occupiers
The authors of the article note that the use of these powerful aerial bombs by Russian war criminals destroyed the Ukrainian defense in Donbas and changed the location of forces on the front line.
It is noted that the Russian occupiers were able to achieve this by upgrading the Ryadyan bomb to a gliding bomb capable of creating 15 m wide ruptures.
The one-and-a-half-ton bomb consists almost half of high-explosive ammunition and is dropped from fighter jets from a distance of approximately 60-70 km beyond the range of Ukrainian air defense systems.
The FAB-1500 is another example of how the Russian Federation is waging war against Ukraine, causing huge destruction before seizing the territory, the publication says.
The authors of the publication emphasize that the Russian occupiers use these bombs to attack thermal power plants, factories and high-rise buildings, from where the Ukrainian military coordinates its own defense.
The FAB-1500 is guided to the target by a guidance system and retractable wings that allow you to plan to the target, and is a new and much more destructive counterattack option.
What are the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine saying on the front lines
According to one of the soldiers of the 46th Ukrainian separate air mobile brigade in a comment to journalists, in the front-line town of Krasnohorivka, the Russian occupiers are using the FAB-1500 because of the great destruction caused by this bomb.
If you survive, you are guaranteed to have a contusion. This puts great pressure on the morale of the military. Not all our guys can stand it. Although they are more or less used to the FAB-500, and the FAB-1500 is hell, - notes the military man.
The publication gave an example that the occupiers' wide use of FABs became the most important element of their offensive in Donetsk region, especially during the destruction of Ukrainian defenses in Avdiivka.
The publication noted that the FAB-1500 is the most powerful in the family of "dumb bombs" of the Soviet era, which have now been converted at a factory near Moscow to a cheaper but more powerful version of the missile.
It is noted that it costs less than a rocket, and the Russians have basic explosives in huge quantities.
It became known about this ammunition in September 2023, and until now it is known that the accuracy of the FAB-1500 is 5 m.
According to some data, the occupiers are now using these FABs in the Kherson and Kharkiv regions.
At the same time, according to experts, recycled FABs can be used only against stationary targets.
Previously, the occupiers destroyed the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with artillery, now they are using an inexhaustible supply of these destructive bombs so that the Ukrainian forces have nothing to defend and nowhere to hide, - the publication says.
