At the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, some people believed that the Russian army had too few guided shells and guided bombs and insufficient precision strike capabilities, resulting in poor performance. Especially on the part of the Aerospace Forces, when initially bombarding the positions of the Ukrainian army with iron bombs and conventional rockets from the last century, they often deviated from the target and did not work well. As the planes were hit by anti-aircraft fire while dropping bombs in the air, many advanced fighters were shot down, and the value of these fighters was destroyed. However, the Ukrainian army was very satisfied after receiving fighters that were even more backward than the Russian army.
For example, the value of a single Su-25, Su-34, Su-35, and other fighters is often tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars, but they are used to carry out unguided operations, and the results are not satisfactory, and they may even be shot down by individual air defense missiles such as "Stinger" and "Starry Sky" worth only a few thousand dollars. However, at the beginning of this year, the Russian army switched to iron bombs carrying guidance kits in Kherson, Fleda, Maryinka and later **Mutt operations, and achieved very good results, and various professional guided bombs are even more eye-catching. These bombs can be dropped from more than a dozen kilometers away to achieve precision strikes, and the number of downed fighters is very small.
And the air assaulter "platypus" Su-34 suffered heavy losses in the initial battle, but this year it has been in service for several batches, and now they are hardly visible on Ukrainian positions. These warplanes are using guided bombs, especially the RBK500 aviation cluster munitions, which terrify the Ukrainian army, which can also be dropped more than 10 kilometers away, and the Ukrainian army's individual air defense** is simply unable to cope. Recently, in Maryinka, Avadiivka and **mut and other places, the Ukrainian army could not even see the shadow of the Aerospace Forces, and could only be passively beaten and abandoned their positions one after another.
Therefore, the top of the Ukrainian military decided to create a department dedicated to the construction of Hamas-like tunnels connecting urban agglomerations in the east to prevent the Russian army from gradually destroying the strong fortifications built during the former Soviet era. However, such construction takes time. According to RIA Novosti, the Russian Aerospace Forces are intensifying the training of pilots in the use of various types of guided bombs, preparing for large-scale use in the eastern theater of operations. The Su-34, which has been delivered to service one after another, is the main model used. As a replacement for the Su-25, it has more advanced on-board equipment and better use of guided bombs.
Marinka has been under control for the past few days, and guided bombs will play a major role in the upcoming operations in the Avadiivka fortified area, the Fleda operation, and the Ivanivsk and Chasov Yar operations next to Mutt, especially in the face of strong fortifications. Topic: Challenges of the 2S4 "Tulip" self-propelled mortar Rewritten: The self-propelled mortar 2S4 "Tulip" is known for its excellent performance in siege with a caliber of 240 mm. However, due to its relatively short range, it is easy to become a target of long-range artillery and drone threats from the Ukrainian army, so its use is expected to gradually decrease.
