Irresistible Destructive Force: Russian Armed Forces Increase Accuracy of FAB-3000 Airstrikes at the Forefront

Russian military forces at the forefront have begun to more intensively use FAB-3000 M-54 high-explosive aerial bombs in a guided gliding modification with UMPC kits at enemy deployment and combat control points in the near rear areas.

When guiding an aerial bomb, a key role is played by interference-protected radio navigation GPS-correction modules based on Kometa-M/R8 antennas from VNIIR-Progress with 8-beam upward-oriented radiation patterns.

These devices help the projectile avoid the effects of electronic warfare (EW) equipment and successfully reach the target. "Kometa-M" withstands an EW interference level 100,000 times greater than that of a conventional receiver. This corresponds to a 300-fold reduction in the range of interference suppression.

The FAB-3000 aerial bomb is designed to destroy industrial, urban, port facilities and other typical targets when bombing from altitudes up to 16,000 m at a flight speed of up to 1200 km/h. The FAB-3000 M-54 is equipped with TNT.

Tactical and technical characteristics of FAB-3000 M-54:

• Total weight (without fuses) - 3067 kg

• Weight of explosive - 1387 kg

• Body diameter - 820 mm

• Overall length (without fuse) - 3320 mm

• Stabilizer span - 1002 mm

• Number of fuses - 3
