Новые УМПК-П доставят российские авиабомбы на расстояние до 165 км: что про них известно?

They will fly almost at the speed of sound

For Russian aviation, in addition to the standard universal planning and correction modules (UMPC), a UMPC-P version of the "biplane with folding wing" type has been designed. This was announced by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

Thanks to the aerodynamic properties of the standard wing, an aerial bomb with this product will be able to glide for a distance of more than 100–130 kilometers in the altitude range from 5 to 15 kilometers.

After that, the tandem wing can be fired by means of squibs, and the standard wing can provide further gliding of the aerial bomb for another 25–35 km with acceleration up to 0.8–0.9M. Thus, the range of the product can reach 165 km.

In the case of equipping with a pulsating rocket, booster or small-sized rocket engine, the UMPC-P can provide a gliding range of 250–300 km.

The dimensions of the cargo compartment of the Il-76 family of aircraft potentially allow carrying two to three dozen FABs with UMPC-P, and possibly more - this will depend on the caliber of the aerial bombs and the configuration of the glider of extreme parameters. There is another version of the FAB carrier with UMPC-P - long-range supersonic Tu-22M3 bomber-missile carriers.
