FAB-500 glide bombs
Press TV – March 13, 2024
Russia’s air force has started deploying powerful aerial bombs to counter Ukraine amid Kiev’s shortages of ammunition provided by the US and other Western allies.
The Russian defense ministry hailed FAB-500 glide munitions a “game-changer” in the Ukraine war for their destructive potential and deployment range of up to 80 kilometers.
It also deployed the FAB-1500, FAB-1500 – a 1.5-tonne weapon, nearly half of which consists of high explosives.
The bombs are equipped with a unified planning and correction module (UMPC), which turns regular free-falling bombs into guided glide munitions.
In addition to Russian drones, missiles, and artillery, glide bombs have introduced a fresh wave of destructive power to Moscow’s operations in eastern Ukraine, exemplified by the recent seizure of the frontline city of Avdiivka.
According to Western experts, these upgraded explosives have demonstrated their remarkable effectiveness against Ukrainian forces, as the troops in Kiev struggle to counter such weaponry as US ammunition shortage bites.
“These bombs completely destroy any position. All buildings and structures simply turn into a pit after the arrival of just one,” recalled one fighter of a Ukrainian assault brigade operating near Avdeevka, which was captured by Russian forces last month.
The Ukrainian military also uses guided bombs, including the US made Joint Direct Attack Munition system (JDAM).
But, unlike the Kremlin, Kiev’s availability of arms in need is significantly limited.
US President Joe Biden’s administration recently unveiled a fresh aid package worth up to $300 million for Ukraine, after facing a financial shortfall in providing weapons to the country two months ago.
The Biden administration confirmed in January that it had run out of those replenishment funds, “unanticipated savings” that the Pentagon negotiated in its weapons contracts freed up money for a new aid package, US national security advisor Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday in a White House press briefing.
“When Russian troops advance, and its guns fire, Ukraine does not have enough ammunition to fire back,” Sullivan said. “That’s costing terrain, it’s costing lives, and it’s costing us – the United States and the NATO alliance – strategically.”
This comes as the approved Ukraine aid of $113 billion has already been utilized by the administration.
Meanwhile, the house of representatives, controlled by the Republicans, has resisted Biden’s request for additional funds, arguing that he is only prolonging the conflict with Russia without providing a clear strategy to end the violence.
Sullivan emphasized Biden’s plea for the House to pass a $95 billion emergency spending bill, which encompasses assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Chinese Taipei – also known as Taiwan.
He highlighted that the “limited” aid package unveiled on Tuesday will solely sustain Ukraine’s military capabilities for a brief duration, and it will not avert Ukraine from depleting its ammunition in the near future.
“The world is watching, the clock is ticking, and we need to see action as rapidly as possible, even as we do everything in our power to get Ukraine what it needs in its hour of need,” Sullivan added.
Last month, Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky said his country has lost ground in recent months due an “artificial shortage” of weapons and urged allies to send arms to Kiev.
Moscow has repeatedly warned the West that flooding Ukraine with weapons and munitions will only prolong the war.
More weapons being manufactured by ZWOG to waste whites with. Notice none of these weapons are ever used against Africa/Asia/Latin America–just against white populated regions. Also take notice of the Commie Red Star underneath the wing of the Russian jet pictured above. Only retards support Jew-Commie ruled Russia.
Hehe..
They get you all cheering for the latest wunderwaffe to be ‘rolled’ out..so you can all grab your conkers with glee and giggle bright eyed and dizzy, like eight year old train spotters..
who have just pegged the Flying Scotsman…
whilst back East they engage in WW1 style warfare throwing tens of thousands of young mainly white men at some worthless backwater, and leave all the infrastructure standing so the oligarch swizzlers can continue selling commodities.. and moving weapons you pay for, to the front…(imbeciles)..
and of course shipping gas to Germany (you know how the Gerry’s love their gas) even though the economic Reich is supposedly collapsing, which I’m sure you will agree is a bit of a conundrum..wrapped in a paradox..
(yes that’s right they’ve never had more and no it’s NOT yangee gas it comes through the Ukraine, of course we Britons have plenty too…North Sea gas all stored in under ground reservoirs..hidden from the muggles to keep prices buoyant)..
worked it all out yet?…
The Sun the British media rag was in Ukraine hoping to get a Challenger scoop but all it got was a tank buried upto it’s turret in mud. For good measure the crew weren’t happy with some of its construction. The Abrahams aren’t any better , four destroyed two can’t be repaired and the rest are being used as artillery in the rear. On the human side the rag The Telegraph has reported that a British mercenary has committed suicide after suffering PTSD due to his Ukraine experience .
The poxy British army of trannies and women will make a big mistake if they mess with the Russian bear.
Mosley; Jew-commie-ruled Russia?? Here’s another fool that hates Russia: he’s probably the commie-Jew! How ’bout Jew-commie-ruled Britain? Canada? USA? Australia? They’re all ruled by Rothschild Jewry, the mortal enemy of Christian, white, Russia.
The Jew-USA overthrew the Ukraine govt in ’14 & installed a Jew regime commanding Nazis. It was eventually to become “Big Israel”. LOL! So much for that project!
Hail to Russia & Putin! He’s kicking the Jew-ruled west’s asses! If the Jew-ruled west pushes it, they could get Nuked too! But Russia could also crush them conventionally. In fact, it already has crushed them, and there’s nothing the Rothschild Butt-Boy westerners can do.
dont worry !
when Putin sees enough white ukrainian goyim are
killed he will sit together with Zelensky and give
him his rest ukraine for new Kazaria with religious
orthodox center capital Uman . and all will be happy,
also the jew deep state in USA + Rothschild mafia .
I read somewhere today that Ukraine’s next planned recruitment drive is its three million women with children, many who now have no husband. If true are they really targeting the women, or their kids?

If all you can gather is “White on White” you’re a cerebral abbreviate. The goal is TOTAL World Dominance. You were probably quiet as they trampled Black Africa and replaced their leaders with buffoons. Same with the Middle East as well as Central and South America.
Well, your inattentiveness has come home to roost: they want us ALL. Dead or enslaved. We fight together or you get the former – guaranteed.
The US and UK have got some nerve. They’ve both gone running to the UN, the very organisation both take a shit on when some country makes a call for peace, and both now demand the UN somehow stops Iranian missiles from reaching the Houthis. These are two of the three most murderous regimes on earth (including Israel), forever threatening whoever they pleased, but now, having realised they’re no longer the top dogs they run to a big boy for help. Truly shameless.
