The Russian army is modernizing aerial bombs used to attack Ukraine. However, they are not deploying them on all fronts of the front line.

According to the spokeswoman for the Armed Forces of Southern Ukraine Natalia Humenyuk, during a telethon, the Russians have a large arsenal of aviation bombs. Moreover, the Russian forces continue to improve them.

"They continue modernizing, in particular, transforming conventional aerial bombs into guided ones. They equip them with wings, increasing their aerodynamics. Such a guided aerial bomb can cover distances of 60-70 kilometers," she said.

The spokeswoman added that the Russian forces in southern Ukraine are experiencing difficulties in using aviation and are reluctant to approach closely. Therefore, they apply such aviation in Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions.

"So, this direction is problematic for them, and here the occupiers prefer to use tactical aviation with K-31, Kh-35, Kh-59 missiles," explained Humenyuk.

On Wednesday, March 27, the Russian army launched its first strike on Kharkiv using a large-caliber guided munition. The weapon in question is the UMPB D-30 SN bomb, which is based on the FAB-250.

As reported by the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, the 30cm caliber munition can travel up to 90km. They are deployed both from aircraft and from the "Smerch" multiple rocket launcher systems.

It's worth noting that the attack resulted in damage to 14 high-rise buildings and a school. There is information about one fatality and at least 18 wounded, including a child.
