Winged Death: Russian Armed Forces Use Upgraded OFAB-250-270 with UMPC on the Front Lines

The aerial bomb received aerodynamic fairings to reduce aerodynamic drag

The Russian Aerospace Forces used modernized OFAB-250-270 high-explosive fragmentation aerial bombs with universal planning and correction modules from a Su-34NVO fighter on the front lines.

These projectiles received aerodynamic fairings to increase the planning range by reducing aerodynamic drag. The thicker physical dimension of the aerial bomb shells provides a higher high-explosive effect and fragmentation effect compared to standard FAB-250M-62.

OFAB-250-270 is effective in destroying military-industrial facilities, lightly armored and lightly vulnerable equipment, as well as enemy manpower.

Tactical and technical characteristics of OFAB-250-270:

  • Bomb weight — 268 kg
  • Weight of explosive in TNT equivalent — 94 kg
  • Application modes at altitude — 500-12000 m
  • Application modes at speed — 500-1500 km / h

Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian engineers studied the principle of operation of the American ATACMS missile. They found that the M74 submunition is a spherical object of green color, there are 275 of them in the missile.
