Сотрет врага в пыль: на что способна мощная российская авиабомба ОДАБ-1500

Russian military forces at the front are using 1500 kg volume-detonating aerial bombs (ODAB) with a universal correction and planning module. They use the spraying of a combustible substance in the form of an aerosol and the detonation of the resulting gas cloud.

According to information from open sources, ODAB, like other volumetric explosion ammunition, is not distinguished by the complexity of the principle of operation or design. The ammunition is a thin-walled tank filled with a combustible liquid with the necessary parameters. The ammunition is also equipped with an explosive charge for spraying the liquid and a detonator for its ignition.

Effective in different conditions

Volume-detonating munitions are equally effective in open areas and against fortifications. In the second case, the explosive aerosol spreads in a cloud over the target, and in the second, it enters bunkers through embrasures and air ducts.

In addition to the thermal radiation of high temperature and shock wave, the damaging factor of ODAB is a sharp jump in atmospheric pressure due to the oxygen burned by the explosion.

According to the Telegram channel @RussianArms, the crew of the Su-34NVO fighter successfully used ODAB-1500 at the front. The pilots worked on the target from a distance of 55-65 km, being under the anti-missile cover of self-propelled firing units 9A317M of the Buk-M3 military air defense system.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian Armed Forces created a miniature wheeled drone to undermine the enemy's fortified areas. The platform is capable of delivering a TM-62 mine to the enemy's dugout and blowing it up.
