According to ASTRA sources, on September 23, a FAB-250 was found in the Grayvoronsky urban district, a few kilometers from the village of Dobroivanovka. There are no casualties or damage, the ammunition has already been destroyed.
According to ASTRA estimates, there were at least 127 aerial bombs dropped by the Russian Aerospace Forces on Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine from March to September this year.
As ASTRA told earlier, to counter the Ukrainian air defense, the Russian army began to equip Soviet air bombs with FAB complexes UMPK. After such an update, wings and satellite guidance appear on the fabs, allowing them to launch bombs directly from the territory of the Russian Federation. Confirmations were previously published the use of the winged FAB-3000 in Ukraine. The numbers in the name of such bombs indicate their total weight.
The Russian army began to actively use the Unified gliding and correction module (UMPK) in the spring of this year. And the problem of updated FABs was immediately revealed — often bombs simply do not reach Ukraine. According to ASTRA estimates, from March to September, Russian aircraft dropped at least 127 bombs on Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine, most often, FAB-250 and FAB-500. Usually, they do not explode during such falls — bombs are destroyed by explosives experts later.
In early July, the FAB-3000 for the first time fell from a Russian plane to the Belgorod region. The bomb exploded in a field near Shebekino. Since the bomb fell in a field, casualties were avoided. On May 4, a Russian plane dropped a FAB-500 on Belgorod, as a result, 7 people were injured, 31 households and 10 cars were damaged. The authorities hid the reason of the fall of the bomb, as well as the fact that it was Russian.
