According to Ukrainian analysts, about 600 bombs per month can be discussed, which corresponds to about 20 units a day. The Russian military-industrial complex has intensified the production of planning aviation bombs of the UMPB D-30SN, whose range reaches 90 km. These ammunition began to be actively used by Russian troops in March 2024, and now there is a significant increase in their production. About it reports Defense Express.

Views write that according to Ukrainian profile resources, the production of production of D-30CN is evidenced by serial numbers on fragments of the airbags used by the enemy. According to analysts, in the early stages, production went slowly, and only 110 units were produced by the winter of 2023-2024. However, the spring increased to 161 units a month, and by May-June 2024, production reached about 600 bombs a month, which corresponds to about 20 units a day.

"Given that the Russian military-industrial complex can work in greenhouse conditions without threats and without a shortage of resource, it is obvious that as of the end of the summer of these aviation ammunition is being produced more," the publication said. UMPB D-30SN is a relatively new type of ammunition weighing about 250 kg, which conceptually repeats the American bomb GBU-39/B SDB I.

Some sources indicate that the Aviation version of the UMPB D-30SN is equipped with a jet engine or rocket engine She to reach the claimed range. However, the presence of these engines remains in question, since the American version of similar bombs is capable of flying 90 km without additional motor installations. The carriers of the D-30sN are front-line bombers Su-34, as well as multi-purpose Su-30 and Su-35 fighter jets.

In addition, these ammunition is equipped with a Russian heavy shock drone C-70 "Hunter", which expands their use in combat conditions. This type of weapons is actively used by Russian forces to strikes in Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv, Sumy and Zaporozhye. Compared to other bombs, equipped with managed kits (UMPC), the D-30CN UMPB enables Russian aircraft to drop ammunition from a greater distance and affect more distant goals.
