According to him, both modifications of guided gliding bombs can be used both from cabriering and from any flight levels up to 17 - 20 km.

"Grom-1", when launched at an altitude of 10 km with a speed of 1050 km/h, has a range of up to 120 - 130 km thanks to the additional impulse of the bottom boost gas generator. From cabriering from a low-altitude mode - 27 - 35 km.
