In total, during the full-scale war, the Russian Air Force dropped 333 aerial bombs. Most of them fell on the Belgorod region, the authorities are hiding this.
In the occupied village of Stepnoye (Volnovakha) in the “DPR”, according to ASTRA sources in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, FAB “improperly disembarked” from a Russian plane near Lenin Street near an uninhabited house. No one was injured.
Thus, according to ASTRA, in 2026, the Russian Federation and the occupied Ukrainian regions have already fallen at least 25 Russian FAB. As ASTRA previously found out, there were at least 143 aerial bombs in 2025 was dropped by Russia on its own and occupied territories. In 2024, at least 165 Russian FAB bombs fell on these territories.
As previously told by ASTRA, to counter the Ukrainian air defense, the Russian army began equipping Soviet FAB bombs with UMPK complexes. 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. But due to the imperfection of the system, aerial bombs do not always reach their targets and fall on Russian territories. The Russian authorities are trying to hide such facts, and when civilians are among the victims of the fall of Russian bombs, they report that the reasons are in the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
