Precision in Action: Russia’ Air Force Annihilate Ukrainian Fortifications in Stepnohirsk

Stunning battlefield footage from Stepnohirsk, Zaporizhia Oblast, captures the Russian Aerospace Forces executing a devastating precision airstrike on entrenched Ukrainian positions.

The strike utilized FAB-500 general-purpose bombs equipped with UMPK (Universal Glide and Correction Modules)—a game-changing upgrade that transforms conventional unguided bombs into precision-guided glide munitions.

🔧 Weapon System Specifications:

• FAB-500 M-62 Bomb:

• Weight: ~500 kg

• Warhead: High-explosive fragmentation (~300 kg)

• Purpose: Designed for general-purpose bombing against fortified and area targets.

• UMPK Guidance Kit:

• Function: Adds inertial and satellite navigation to dumb bombs.

• Glide Capability: Extends the range to 40–70 km, depending on drop altitude and speed.

• Accuracy: CEP (Circular Error Probable) reportedly reduced to <10 meters.

• Features: Foldable wings and GPS/GLONASS targeting allow launches from stand-off distances, keeping Russian aircraft out of frontline MANPADS range.

Russian Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft commonly deploy these upgraded munitions, allowing for high-precision strikes without exposing pilots to enemy air defense systems.

In this particular operation, Ukrainian fortifications—including trench networks and ammo storage—were effectively obliterated in a single pass.

This footage underscores the growing technological edge of Russian strike aviation and its ability to dominate critical zones along the front using cost-effective upgrades to legacy munitions.
