The trick of planes to get rid of the enemy VIDEO

Putin’s war in Ukraine is approaching the 29-month mark, and the bloody conflict is in a continuous dynamic. Recently, Russia switched to using a devastating 3-ton bomb, and recently the Ministry of Defense in Moscow published images of the killer “colossus”, wreaking havoc on a group of buildings in Ukraine. Red Army aircraft use a ruse to avoid enemy air defense systems, that of launching glide bombs from a distance and then quickly leaving the area.

Russia has increasingly used glide bombs in its invasion of Ukraine. The bombs are older munitions that have been improved with new guidance systems, allowing them to be launched remotely, according to Business Insider.

The Russian Defense Ministry on Sunday shared a video of what it said was one of its Su-34 jets dropping a FAB-3000 glide bomb on a Ukrainian military position.

The FAB-3000 bombs weigh 6,600 pounds or 3.3 tons. A Russian pilot in the video boasted that “it is hard to imagine a target that would not be destroyed by an aerial bomb of this size,” according to a translation of his remarks by Ukrainian news station Pravda.

The video shows a bomb being attached to the underside of a plane, and then a similar bomb is seen traveling through the air before aerial video is played of an explosion between a group of buildings.

This is a huge advantage and has allowed Russia to use them to devastating effect: the planes can launch the bombs from a long enough distance that Ukraine often cannot shoot down the planes.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba said in March that Russia had dropped 700 cruise bombs on Ukraine between March 18 and 24 alone. And the bombs got bigger and bigger. A video last month captured what appeared to be the first time Russia used a three-ton guided bomb on Ukraine.

Experts say the only way Ukraine can properly defend itself against these types of bombs is by intercepting Russian aircraft before they launch the bombs or by striking the aircraft while they are still on the ground.

But the US says Ukraine cannot use the long-range equipment it has given Ukraine to strike military targets deep inside Russia, meaning Ukraine cannot target many Russian airfields.

Hitting the bombs while they are in the air is also a huge challenge. The bombs have short flight times, small radar signatures and non-ballistic trajectories — all of which make them very difficult to intercept, Jake Epstein previously reported.

Ukraine also says it does not have sufficient air defense means. Ukraine is developing its own glide bombs and is also requesting more air defense systems from its allies.
