Russia Prepares a "Terrifying Scenario" for Ukraine with Glide Bombs

Western and Ukrainian media reported that Moscow is producing the heaviest glide bomb on a large scale, the (FAB-1500-M54) bomb, which weighs one and a half tons. According to the German newspaper Bild, the Russians have updated this bomb, which weighs 1,500 kg, and have started mass production of it. The last time Russia used this bomb was when it dropped it on a high-rise building in the city of Krasnohorivka near Donetsk. The Russians filmed the explosion of the "brutal bomb" from two different angles, with one video showing the bomb targeting a residential area before dropping and exploding into a fireball towering 20 stories high. Media reports indicate that around 50 Ukrainian soldiers are killed daily, mostly due to the use of such bombs by Russian forces. Earlier, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk warned of "signs of readiness in Russia to fully utilize this type of bomb." Later, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited the factory where these bombs are being manufactured. At that time, Russian media stated that production of such aerial bombs had been ongoing since the beginning of the war. The (FAB-1500) bomb, or the brutal bomb, is an improved version of the (KAB-1500) bomb developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and used in the 1980s, with the (FAB-1500-M54) weighing 1,550 kg and its warhead weighing 675 kg.
