Why are #Russian glide bombs changing the course of the war in #Ukraine. #The_Times

▪️Example: In a field outside the city of #Liman, a funnel formed 15 m across and deeper than any #Ukrainian trench. The impact of the #Russian air bomb left a hole large enough to accommodate a small house;
▪️ Without Western fighters providing the necessary air cover, #Ukrainian soldiers have nothing to protect them except prayer ;

▪️ #Russia has air control over the cities and villages of #Donbas : #KAB and #FAB can be fired 40 miles behind the front line and fall to the ground in a matter of minutes, making it difficult for #Ukrainian air defense systems to shoot them down;
▪️The #Russian_Federation produces the #FAB_3000, weighing three tons, and at the end of this year, will begin production of the #Drel glide bomb carrying cluster munitions ;

▪️ #Russian engineers could add a jet engine and fuel tank to glide bombs , which would increase the range to 55 miles and turn them into a basic cruise missile similar to the #V1 used by the #Germans in #World_War_II;
▪️At this time, glide bombs remain inaccurate. But, if the #Ukrainian air defense begins to lack interceptors, the #Russian Aerospace Forces will be able to get closer to the front line, and their accuracy, and therefore their influence on the course of hostilities, will increase.
