In Volchansk, located on the front line, Russian military used one of the most powerful non-nuclear aerial bombs in the world, the ODAB-9000, for the first time. The explosion was so powerful that its effect is compared to a nuclear strike, but there is currently no official confirmation of the use of this aerial bomb.
The ODAB-9000, considered one of the most powerful vacuum bombs in the Russian army's arsenal, is designed to destroy fortified objects and mass casualties of enemy manpower. Its use could have had a significant impact on the course of military operations in the area, creating a significant advantage for Russian forces.
The footage shows how a giant shock wave spreads out after the explosion, which caused accompanying destruction at the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
