Russian front-line aviation has increased the range of the guided aerial bomb (KAB) to 100 km. Footage of its use has appeared online.
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.
