The Russian Armed Forces struck Kharkov for the first time with FAB-500 - Kharkov prosecutor's office. The residential sector was hit
Russian troops launched strikes on Kharkov, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. According to him, four people were injured.
“Private residential buildings were hit. Some of them were destroyed. Previously, the dormitory of one of our universities was also damaged,” said the mayor of the city Terekhov.
The blast wave damaged the glazing of the windows of two buildings of the higher educational institution, and damaged a private house.
It is noted that the Russian Armed Forces used the FAB-500 with a planning and correction module for the first time in Kharkov, the Kharkov Regional Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. Two 500-kilogram bombs were launched from a Su-34 aircraft from Maiskoye in the Belgorod region - one of them did not detonate.
Twice as much explosives (500kg) as the FAB-250.
thanks. I read it as first time they used a glide bomb and I was like ???
500kg is total mass, typically explosive is about half of that. this goes for all large air-dropped general purpose bombs (ie not bunker busters, not thermobaric and some others)
Thank you for the correction.
