UMPB D-30SN is most likely an analogue of the American GLSDB,” Alexander Kovalenko, military-political observer of the Information Resistance group, told LIGA.net.
In general, what it gives: it’s actually an aerial bomb, which itself has a more powerful warhead than a 122-caliber rocket for the BM-21 Grad or even the BM-27 Uragan,” he explained.
Such aerial bombs can strike more accurately than multiple launch rocket systems and aerial bombs with a universal module and flight planning and correction.
The fact that the invaders have improved aerial bombs was previously reported by the speaker of the Tavria operational-strategic group of troops, Dmitry Likhovoy.
In early March, the enemy shelled Mirnograd in the Donetsk region, using new aerial bombs.
The initial information was that the enemy used the S-300 air defense system, but according to updated information received from the National Police, in this attack the Russians used three UMPB D-30SN gliding bombs.
This is an improved aerial bomb, which is already replacing those classic old FABs turned into KABs. They have additional planning functions and additional propulsion systems. Therefore, unfortunately, we need to prepare for new challenges and new air defense tasks to combat these improved aerial bombs,” Likhovoy reported.
