Russian engineers continue to modernize universal planning and correction modules (UMPC) for equipping FAB-250M-62, FAB-250/270, FAB-500M-54/62, FAB-1500/3000, and ODAB-1500 aerial bombs. Thanks to new technical solutions, the projectile's flight range can be increased to 150 km, according to the Telegram channel @RussianArms.
The authors of the material pointed out that a key step is to increase the planning range of the products. This can be achieved by equipping the modules with small-sized R-95-300 turbojet engines or high-impulse solid-propellant booster engines. They are capable of providing an initial projectile speed of up to 1000 km/h within 3-5 minutes of operation.
Thanks to this improvement, the estimated range of the FAB can be increased to 100 - 150 km, which will take the drop lines of planning modifications of aerial bombs with UMPC beyond the range of anti-aircraft missile systems SAMP-T and S-300PS.
R95-300 is a small-sized, short-life dual-circuit turbojet engine developed in the USSR, designed for unmanned aerial vehicles for military purposes.
Technical data of R95-300:
- Maximum thrust — 400 kg/s
- Diameter — 315 mm
- Length — 850 mm
- Dry weight — 95 kg
- Fuel used — Т-1 (aviation kerosene), ТС-1, Т-10 (decilin)
Earlier www1.ru reported that in Russia they tested the protective armored blanket "Egida-U" for equipment. It provides protection against shrapnel and strike drones.
