A new threat or psychological pressure. What for the Russian Federation showed production Fab-3000

In Russia, there is only one carrier of FAB-3000 Aeline-a strategic TU-22M3 bomber, which the occupiers are unlikely to risk close to the front line. The focus understood what is known about the production of 3000-pounds and how to fight them. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoiga reported that the production of FAB-1500 and Fab-3000 was launched at the 53rd Arsenal enterprise. Their production and restoration was established in February 2024.

The focus has understood the threat of new bombs, what planes are their carrier, and what counteraction can be. The Russian army uses fugas airbombs with UMPC sets, which increase the radius of action and increase accuracy. Such kits are for Bombs Fab-250, Fab-500, Casette RBC-500, Fab-1500. During the day, the invaders use about 100 bombs with the UMPC. The carriers of the shells are the Su-34 fighter-bomber and Su-24m bomber.

It is stated that in the Nizhny Novgorod region the production of FAB-500 increased and doubled production of Fab-1500, which are actively used in the war. Fab-3000 is a fugas airbomb that was developed in 1946. It weighs 3000 kg, of which 1400 kg - the explosive part. The bomb has three detonators at once. The only carrier is TU-22M3, of those in the Russian army. In general, the carriers were TU-4 bombers and Tu-16. Potential radius of FAB-3000-46 meters.

In this case, the radius of damage by fragments is 260 meters. Such bombs bombed the "Azovstal" during the defense of Mariupol at the beginning of a full -scale war. The airbag can affect concrete structures, shelters, fortifications, dams and industrial structures due to its mass and power. The potential use of FAB-3000 Focus discussed with the aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchynsky.

He reported that Fab-3000 is attached to the TU-22m3 in the internal compartment and can lift two such shells at a time. "Given that they are attached inside, it is difficult to imagine how they implement the UMPC to make it. - explains the focus the expert. Fab-3000 aircraft dump occurs from a height of 15 km. In this case, the flight speed will be 1200 km/h. Currently, the only carrier of Fuga Fab-3000 is the TU-22M3 strategic bomber.

However, a purely technically technically Su-34 aircraft can also become a projectile carrier. Its declared maximum load is 10,400 kg, which in theory allows it to be lifted. According to Anatoly Khrapchynsky, the question for the Su-34 is to center the ammunition. If you try to attach a 3000-kilogram bomb to the wings, then they will need to be strengthened, if "under Bryuk", then you will also need to do additional work. The technical question in this case is very difficult.

If the PCS of the Russian Federation will use airbombs from TU-22M3, then they will need to enter the radius of the Ukrainian air defense. "" Beeches "and all these Soviet systems will be able to knock down the planes very well. About Patriot or Iris-T I am silent at all, here 100% enters the radius of action.

They will definitely need to enter the area of ​​our air defense, "-continues the aviation expert, adding that the PCS of the Russian Federation will not risk TU-22m3 so close above the front line. Therefore, Anatoly Khrapchinsky believes that showing shows and reporting of production restoration is a psychological pressure on Ukraine. Most likely, they do not produce new bombs, but disconnect Soviet reserves.

In addition, the FAB-3000 will not have the following flight range as in the CAC-500 60-70 km. The maximum range will be 40 km because it is heavier. In conversation with focus, Anatoly also compares Russian UMPC with French analogues AASM Hammer. The Russian Su-34 uses the SVP-24 module to reset the CAB-500, which calculates the height, place and position of the aircraft from which the projectile must be dumped to defeat the target.

French bombs have a jet thrust, so Ukrainian aircraft do not need to fly to a higher height and run it at some point. It will be difficult to knock down Fab-3000 bombs. Therefore, Ukraine could have a sabotage at the 53 Arsenal plant, which is located in the area of ​​lesions of the long-range drones-Kamikadze. According to Khrapchynsky, in this case, no drone with a warhead 50-60 km is not required, it will be enough to hit the composition with finished products.

It is also worth destroying the carrier, not trying to knock down the bomb. In this case, air defense or Western F-16 fighters are required. The Defense Express is added that "53 Arsenal" was stationed in the village of Yuganets of the Nizhny Novgorod region. In addition to airbombs, they produce ammunition from 30 mm and roles to 152 mm shots. They also specialize in the restoration of the ammunition themselves and the components to them. According to Sergiy Shoigu, production increased 2. 5 times.
