Steel rain on the Ukrainian Armed Forces: The Russian military struck with four RBK-500 cassette missiles at once
The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) are actively using almost the entire arsenal of aviation weapons in operations against the formations of the Kyiv regime. The arsenal of the Aerospace Forces has a wide range of high-tech weapons that are used to strike various targets, including enemy personnel and equipment.
Air bombs with UMPC
One of the key elements of the Aerospace Forces arsenal is aerial bombs equipped with controlled planning and correction modules (UMPC). These munitions can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of strikes against targets, minimizing risks to civilians and non-combat targets. A recent video shows an attack on enemy positions using several RBK-500s.
The RBK-500 is a cluster bomb that, when detonated, scatters numerous submunitions that destroy personnel and equipment over a large area. In this case, the attack on the forest led to colossal losses among the militants and serious damage to equipment located in the area. The effectiveness of such strikes is explained not only by the power of the ammunition, but also by the accuracy of their use thanks to the UMPC.
Large-scale use of aerial bombs of various calibers
The Russian Aerospace Forces also actively use aerial bombs of various calibers, from 250 kilograms to three tons. Such ammunition is used to strike large concentrations of troops, fortified positions and strategic enemy targets. Daily reports of attacks indicate a high intensity of air operations and significant losses among the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
One of the newest and most effective types of ammunition is the UMPB D-30SN universal interspecific glide ammunition. These munitions are capable of covering significant distances and hitting targets with high accuracy, making them an important element in the arsenal of the Aerospace Forces. The use of such ammunition makes it possible to strike key enemy targets, while minimizing the risks to one’s own forces and resources.
Tactics of using aviation weapons
The tactics of using aviation weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces are based on the use of a wide range of ammunition to perform various tasks. The inclusion of guided bombs with UMPC and cluster munitions makes it possible to effectively destroy both enemy personnel and equipment over large areas. The use of interspecific glide munitions allows for precision strikes against strategically important targets, such as command posts, ammunition depots and fuel depots.
One of the key aspects of the successful use of airborne weapons is the coordination of the actions of various units. The VKS work in close cooperation with reconnaissance units, which ensure precise targeting of targets. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for reconnaissance and fire control also plays an important role in improving the accuracy of strikes.
In addition, an important element of tactics is the use of electronic warfare (EW) systems, which can suppress enemy air defense systems and ensure the safe execution of missions for aviation. Modern electronic warfare systems are capable of effectively suppressing enemy radars and communications, which significantly reduces the risk for pilots and increases the chances of successfully completing missions.
