The Russian Aerospace Forces began to use the FAB-3000 M-54 gliding high-explosive air bomb, which was nicknamed the "tsar bomb". The ammunition has a huge "destructive potential" for enemy targets due to its large kill radius. This is written by Business Insider.
The destructive power of the FAB-3000 M-54 is such that even ammunition that does not hit specific targets can be deadly due to the larger kill radius. The fact that it is a gliding bomb and can be dropped outside the range of enemy air defense systems makes the ammunition even more dangerous.
Business Insider writes that the FAB-3000 M-54 is a conventional "dumb" bomb that can be converted into a gliding munition using a unified planning and correction module (UMPC). According to the publication, mass production of such air bombs began in Russia in March.
Now the Russian Aerospace Forces have begun to rely on guided and unguided gliding bombs to hit targets on enemy territory. The aircraft drops the FAB at a great distance from the target, after which the bomb continues to glide to the specified point, and the aircraft that launched it is safe. This is their peculiarity, writes Business Insider.
