Russia Releases A New Glide Bomb With Extended Range!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- The conflict in Ukraine has turned the skies into a fierce battlefield since February 2022. Both sides have deployed a wide range of weapons, constantly adapting and improving their aerial strategies. Recently, what has become a major concern for Ukraine is the emergence of Russian glide bombs.
Reports indicate that the extensive use of glide bombs has significantly aided Russia in gaining territory in Ukraine. These bombs have been instrumental in Russia's recent attack in Kharkiv Oblast, facilitating ground force advances.
The Kyiv Independent report raises concerns about the potential threat posed by glide bombs to Ukraine, highlighting the country’s lack of effective defenses against them. With Russia planning to deploy more glide bombs to support their offensives, Ukraine is increasingly worried about the growing danger these weapons present.
In March 2024, a Ukrainian Telegram channel shared images of a new Russian munition, identified as the UMPB D-30SN, a recent addition to Russia's arsenal of glide bombs. Initially mysterious, this bomb has now been fully revealed after a little over two months, with visuals of the complete weapon and launch videos. It appears that this standoff weapon is becoming more established in Russian service, creating additional challenges for Ukraine. The pressing question now is, how formidable this bomb is?

I was expecting this. Now It happened. Sending Patriots and various SAMS to Ukraine can't cope forever and is much too expensive, considering their ever decreasing performance. I'm Italian. We lack money for public health system, public scolar system, our wages are low, we pay very high taxes and suffer of high inflation, due to lack of low cost energy supply. In addition, our institutional figures are completely unable to solve any serious problem, not only because of corruption, but even worse, for incompetence. Imagine how the average italian agrees with the useless financial sacrifice to support Ukraine, expecially in terms of weapons and ammunitions. In other european nations the feeling very similiar. We are not agains't Ukraine, nor we are agains't Russia as well. But this is a very useless sacrifice. European leaders represent only themselves and their anglo-american masters. They don't represent the european people when talking about this war. This mess had to be dealt with diplomacy, since 2014, because there was enough room for reasonable adjustement. But the anglo-americans and ukrainian ultra right minorities had other plans...and here's the result
Tragically, Meloni, who was initially thought of as a fairly 'Italy First' politician, has now turned out to be a captured-US asset, war-mongering against Russia, and staunchly taking NATO positions to prolong Ukrainian suffering. Italy has completely become as US_vassal state, like the Germans, Baltics, Romania, the UK, the Nordic countries and the Netherlands. Europe is essentially, a walking corpse now.

No one shoots down gliding bombs with Patriot system.
SHORAD does it. Some of those systems requires literally 6 rounds of 35 mm caliber to shoot down one gliding bomb.
Anyway, I wonder if you were talking the same shit, if RU was trying to take Italy, and your family died in bombing.
@@jnx4803 i didn't say that gliding bombs can be shot down. That's the problem. But at least the dropping aircraft could be threatened from the maximum range of some long range SAMS. With extended range gliding bombs russian aircraft can now drop almost without risk. Shorad are point defense. You can't cover every target with point defense. Only a minority of targets can be covered by point defense. As for the rest...you're missing a long part of the story before russian bombing started. This story starts at least in 2014. That's why the way of reasonable negotiate had to be taken in time, before the war and the bombings and all that follows. At the end of the war you'll get less than what you could get with negotiate. That's actually: useless sacrifice. And European countries are falling in deep economic crisis, not Russia. That's the harsh reality, weather you or I can like it or not.

//i didn't say that gliding bombs can be shot down. That's the problem.//

Ok, but gliding bombs can be shot down because that's what SHORAD was designed for.
//With extended range gliding bombs russian aircraft can now drop almost without risk.//
_
For now sure, but once new Patriot is set up and F-16 are around, you ain't dropping anything, because just F-16 will get to you.
//Shorad are point defense. You can't cover every target with point defense.//
_
You don't need to. RU drops bombs at specific locations where they are trying to push, or stop UAF, and that's just a few spots, so setting up mobile SHOARD is actually quite easy.
Besides, Ukraine is getting it's own AWACS, so they will be able to detect bombers long before they will reach the drop point, and set e.g. F-16 to intercept them.

You seem to be confused.
RU has resource only for 2 more years.
After that, they won't be able to support the entire front line and it will collapse.
RU is already pulling older and older armor from storage, and Ukraine is getting newer and better equipment.
It may look like atm RU is doing kinda ok, but the numbers show that they are burning their resources like crazy to just take a few km of land, and at this rate they will burn themselves to the ground.
RU is not winning this war.
//European countries are falling in deep economic crisis, not Russia. That's the harsh reality, weather you or I can like it or not.//
_
Again, you seem to be confused.
Russia won't stop at Ukraine, because Putin want to take back the lands they were occupying back during Cold War.
Poland, Germany, etc. they want it back.
The money we spend now to help Ukraine defeat RU is nothing compared to what we will spend if RU tries to enter Europe.
The base material for the glide bombs comes from hundreds of thousands of Soviet-era unguided bombs, which are then retrofitted with retractable fins and guidance systems to carry 500 to 3,000 kilograms (1,100 to 6,600 pounds) of explosives. The upgrade costs around $20,000 per bomb, according to the Center for European Policy Analysis, and the bombs can be launched up to 65 kilometers (40 miles) from their targets - outside the range of Ukraine’s regular air defense systems.
Price of ATACMS missiles
For example, in 2020, Lockheed Martin reported working on an order worth $426 million. According to the contract, it was planned to produce 400 missiles. That is one missile cost about $1.065 million.
$20k vs $1 million
You're comparing an advanced missile to a modified dumb bomb.
USA and NATO can easily modify their own bombs with the same kit as the Russians do, and it will cost significantly less than 1 million to do it.
What do you think they're doing this whole time? If Ukraine falls, they'll be ready to face a weakened and exhausted Russian army.
Plus the Russian bomb is a real terror weapon.
It just completely obliterates defensive positions and the shock wave probably kills and disables to a large area.
interesting information and from an expert in this matter
@@user-fw3hc7cr2b What's stopping NATO and the US from using similar bombs?
They can easily modify existing inventory with glide kits.

British?? i dont see any of them now..😂
Sta vincendo come sta vincendo Sunak😂
Russia can easily extend the range of the glide bombs to 120km by attaching a small propulsion system to the rear tip of the bombs.
😏and what if they thought of using a pulse jet or dropping bombs at supersonic speed and using a ramjet
No
Then, the radar will pick it up via the heat signatures.
That already exists but is not used widely.
But then air defenses can shoot them down from thernal signature, erasing their real strength

Yes, glide bombs (GB)s are very smart, that's why the US and Russia have both been using them for about 60 years.
Modern GBs are devastatingly accurate against stationary targets and with live guidance they are accurate enough to be used against targets that aren't moving too fast, like troop concentrations with or without armor. And you think it's stupid to take a dumb gravity bomb, of which Russia has tens of millions in storage but still functional, and turn them into a fairly smart standoff weapon that keeps their aircraft out of harms way, can be easily manufactured in huge numbers and all at very modest expense. Yes, this is such a stupid(TM) idea that, almost by itself, it is winning the war for Russia.

ODAF 300 used Su 35 fighter aircraft to bomb strategic locations in Ukraine
2:10 UMPB has nothing to do with the FAB-250. The abbreviation UMPB stands for “universal interspecific gliding munition.” Its trick is that it can be dropped from an aircraft like a regular gliding bomb, or can be launched from a 300mm MLRS “Smerch” or its more modern version "Tornado-S". Thus, you can use it in both aviation and infantry artillery forces, which is extremely convenient
Those glide shovels are sick
Extremely terrifying... I do not want the area where I live to be hit with one.
The FAB family of bombs don’t have to be particularly accurate. They just need to be sent to a targets area code. The bomb will do the rest!

The Russians need to develop a double drone. One drone is rocket powered cradle that releases and circles back to base, the glide bomb then has much greater distance.
The ingenuity of Russian engineers knows no bounds. That's because they are very serious studying physics and maths.

VIVA A UCRÂNIA 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇵🇹
Adding an engine would add range but is not needed. It makes more sense to increase destructive power with more explosives and an engine with maybe accurate guidance could be jammed. Russia has plenty of surgical precision missiles.
It has a much more aerodynamic profile than other Russian glide bombs. That's probably where the extended range comes from. Less drag to shorten the range.
They had them already just moving the game on to next level / question is how many levels 😂
Nato: Russia will loose. Putin: allright, hold my beer for a second please 😂
A glide bomb with Rocket Booster is a logical consequence. I can't imagine that this isn't already being worked on.
Всё уже давно есть)))
A simple 5-second booster that drops off would greatly increase its range and not risk detection. I wonder if attaching a CO2 cartridge to add cold carbon dioxide after the booster exhaust would bring down the temperatures enough to minimize detection?
Простая пятисекундная твердотопливная ракета, которая также отделялась бы после израсходования топлива, значительно увеличила бы дальность полета. Интересно, снизит ли установка картриджа с CO2 для добавления холодного углекислого газа после выхлопа ракеты температуру настолько, чтобы свести к минимуму инфракрасное обнаружение?

It's not Ukraine jamming tactics, but rather Western countries doing the jamming and everything else except ground troops!
That is a two-edged sword. Where Ukraine has more armaments because Western and some other countries provide them, they are much more costly to maintain, instead of what Russia has, which are lines from only one military. In the short-run, it will be okay, but in the long-run, almost impossible to maintain consistency.
It's relatively small and hard to see on radar, it also has no heat signature making intercepting it unlikely.

The only game changer that leaves up to it's name...
Loved how well explained n even the smallest details have been covered point by point being so precise mostly .
A suggestion. Target identification could be done in two steps: pre-launch, dialing in of lat-long coordinates and near the end of trajectory an IR or radio UAV based homing system (on the battlefield, land troops control a small drone flying above the target that is emitting the homing signal)
It's kind of moot detailing the bombs that Russia uses in Ukraine. What isn't being said is that Russia could only use any of these bombs if they have total air superiority...
That is the real issue...not what non-smart bombs they use
the FABs are formidable there's no question
Sputnik and sending first man into space and bringing him back alive shows how advanced Russia is with missile technology.

Big Bang for just a few bucks !!!
an engine to a glide bomb would help IR seekers to home on an anti-missile projectile. Propelled bombs exist for long.
That adds heat and complexity to the simple glide bomb. A 5-second solid rocket booster that drops off after expending its fuel would be the best solution.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi It is a sub-optimal solution as that would give away the initial trajectory and possible lock, but still, as you put it, can be a trade-off in time depending on the tracking and locking system on ground and in air. Basically, the removal of power system places a challenge both in thermal signature and rcs even for a SR QRM. What comes to my mind is catapulting from a strap-up system, better suited to strategic bombers or larger fighter bombers, or may be a recoilless platform to shoot. Actually, these are scenario specific solutions to allow a better toss etc, but given the current conflict zone's air defence systems, the west is not really prepared with something like this. A better range can only be possible with release at higher speed, higher altitude and perhaps a toss, the last being a little improbable at very high altitude. Better aspect ratio and new and better streamlined body of the bombs could provide for a better range but that too would be trade off with speed, else a variable aspect ratio is something that complicates and adds weight. I grant the russians to have worked through all these possibilities. One needs to think in russian as the buzz word goes to get such quick and simple solutions 😆🙌.
Why not make some kind of propulsion system that turns off maybe 250km before target. This way, they don't have to risk airplanes being hit by himars.
