Russian troops pulled out a large number of bombs at a frontline airbase to prepare for bombing Ukrainian military positions. These bombs were equipped with glide guidance kits on-site before being loaded and taking off for combat. The monthly usage of various types of bombs by Russian forces exceeds 3,000. Many friends are surprised to see so many bombs casually placed on the ground, but in fact, they can be used up quickly. However, there have been multiple incidents where such bomb piles were detonated by Ukrainian forces.
The Ukrainian side stated that now the Russian forces are using the latest glide guidance kits. Their bombs can reach a range of 95 kilometers, and these bombs fly at speeds of 800 kilometers per hour. Now, Russian forces can directly bomb areas such as Kharkiv, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia using guided bombs. These bombs come from Russia's massive inventory left over from the Soviet Union. After refurbishment and installation of glide guidance kits, they become precision-guided weapons. Currently, Ukrainian forces have no good countermeasures against Russian glide-guided bombs.
