Russian Federation needs carriers under Fab-9000 who wanted to connect with the Soyuz missiles-Defense Express
According to Ukrainian analysts, in history with the use of ODAB-9000 it was assumed that the Russians could have heavy bombers Tu-16. "Tu-16 associative communication as a nine-tonne carrier" is actually logical because there is such a historical example. During the war in Afghanistan (1979-1989), the Soviet Union used bombers of this type to dump Fab-9000 ",---- The authors of the publication note. At the same time, according to them, Tu-16 aircraft were removed from weapons in the 90s.
In the Russian Federation and in Ukraine, they were either cut into scrap, or disposed of within experiments, for example, used as air targets. "Therefore, Russians can hardly have such good bombers at least for hypothetical use in the war against Ukraine," the Defense Express concludes.
In October 2023, Dmitry Rogozin (in the past the head of "Roscosmos", and now a representative of the occupation administration of Zaporizhzhya region) proposed to add to the missile "Union" of the same Fab-9000 as a combat part. And then use such a combat system for strikes in the cities of Ukraine. Analysts consider this idea technically unrealistic. But Rogozina's statement is indicative in the sense that Russians are looking for opportunities for the use of large -caliber bombs in Ukraine.
Any reports on the use of the Russians of particularly powerful Fabs in Ukraine should be in question and relied on such stories on official reports from representatives of the military command, the authors of the publication warned. Recall that Russian troops began active assaults near Kurakhovoy and use tactics similar to the coal.
