The head of the Ukrainian Air Force, Nikolai Oleshchuk, warned in November 2023 that Russia had “signs of preparation for the large-scale deployment of the FAB-1500.”
Russia has begun mass production of its heaviest glide bomb FAB-1500-M54. BILD writes about it.
It was noted that one and a half ton Russian bombs are increasingly being used in Ukraine. The last time a FAB-1500-M54 crashed into a multi-story building in the city of Krasnohorivka near Donetsk. Russian propagandists shot the FAB-1500 explosion from two different angles. One of the recordings shows a bomb dropped on a residential area, falling and exploding, releasing a fireball 20 stories high.
In addition, as the publication writes, about 50 Ukrainian soldiers die at the front every day, most of them precisely because of the use of planned Russian military bombs, including the FAB-1500-M54.
The publication also notes that Ukrainian Air Force chief Nikolai Oleshchuk warned in November 2023 that Russia had “signs of preparation for the mass deployment of the FAB-1500.”
In February of this year, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reportedly visited the plant where these bombs were made. Then Russian propaganda said that their production had been going on since the beginning of the war.
The FAB-1500-M54 is an improved version of the KAB-1500 bomb, developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and used since the 1980s. The weight of the FAB-1500-M54 is 1550 kg, of which the weight of the warhead is 675 kg.
Let’s remember that the media wrote that Russia announced plans to make a Drel cluster bomb.
Earlier, CNS said the Russians plan to supply cluster munitions to X-32 cruise missiles.
