The bomb left an contrail in the sky. The sound of the flying munition was also heard - more muffled than that of a cruise missile. The bomb likely received a jet engine.

The fact of an attack at such a long distance changes a lot in the planning and tactics of combat operations.

The radius of the bombs is enough for Su-34 and Su-57 fighter-bombers to use them without entering the zone of operation of air defense systems.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the first footage of the flight of the latest Geran-2 at a great height has appeared.
