Russian thermobaric bombs can vaporize the Ukrainian army
As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine gradually enters a stalemate, the two sides are becoming less and less concerned about the so-called rules, what white phosphorus bombs, incendiary bombs, submunitions, etc., what is easy to use, what can massively kill each other, what can effectively destroy fortifications, except for nuclear **.
According to a report from the Ukrainian side on December 4, the Russian army has used drones to carry thermobaric bomb warheads.
The warhead of a thermobaric bomb of a Russian drone dismantled by Ukraine.
What is a thermobaric bomb?It is the deformation of the cloud burst bomb, which is rich in aluminum, boron, silicon, titanium, magnesium, zirconium and other flammable substances, which can quickly produce extremely high temperatures and local sub-vacuum environment after rapid deflagration, and at the same time produce ** shock wave, which can effectively kill the enemy's living force in the underground bunker. The power is second only to the nuclear **, and the cost is also low, so it is not too much to call it sub-nuclear**.
To put it bluntly, this is Russia's current weapon for attacking the trenches to replace the Ukrainian army, as long as it can hit the range, the Ukrainian army will most likely be vaporized.
It is worth mentioning that, according to Ukrainian reports, the drone carrying this thermobaric bomb was modified from the Shahed-136 suicide drone previously provided by Iran for Russia, which the Russian side called Geranium-2.
According to the results of the "autopsy" of the Russian drone by the Ukrainian side, all the warheads that were originally inpowerful were replaced with thermobaric bombs, weighing about 40 kilograms, and equipped with three working fuses, which can achieve different strike and damage effects.
For the Iranian army, the biggest drawback of this drone is its poor accuracy and insufficient power against solid targets. But now it seems to be well resolved.
After dissecting the Russian Geranium-2, Ukrainian engineers found that the navigation chip of the system guidance ministry was installed with a 4G mobile phone SIM card in Ukraine, that is to say, in addition to using GPS micro navigation, after flying to the territory of Ukraine, it can be navigated according to the mobile phone signal base station.
A Russian drone guidance system with a Ukrainian SIM phone card installed.
The UAV can continuously adjust the flight altitude and angle through each signal base station to ensure the correct route, and finally through the three fuses in the thermobaric bomb, the detonation of different soft and hard targets, different altitudes and different timings can be selected, and the best damage effect is finally achieved. This method greatly increases the accuracy of strikes against targets on the territory of Ukraine.
Ukraine recently claimed the success of shooting down a Russian drone.
According to Ukraine, the Iranian "small motorcycle" in the hands of Russia is now becoming more and more powerful after using thermobaric bombs, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved.
This kind of thermobaric bomb, which was previously only used on aerial bombs, was actually used by Russia on a drone, and the high temperature and ** shock wave of 2500 are enough to blow up all the Ukrainian troops within a few tens of meters, to be precise, it is impossible for any organic creature to survive.
The more difficult the battle is, the harder the Russian army will strike
The war is getting more and more brutal, and now that Russia and Ukraine have fought a trench war, I have to say that the resistance of the Ukrainian side is really tenacious, and the speed of advance on both sides is quite slow.
For the Russian side, as the war drags on, the pressure at home is also increasing. The Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye oblasts are already de jure Russian territory, and now they are occupied by Ukraine, so they must be taken back.
Therefore, in order to deal with the scorching war, the Russian military industry has also begun to explode, and it can be used whatever is useful, and there are no longer any scruples, and the sanctions imposed by the United States and NATO are enough, and no amount of restrictions can hurt Russia fundamentally.
Russian fighters have also made great progress recently.
From the performance of the Russian army in the early stage was widely ridiculed by the entire West, to ridiculing the Russian army, understanding the Russian army, and becoming the Russian army, but they are actually unwilling to admit that Russia has indeed been improving, and improving Iran's "small motorcycle" is just one of the cases, it is the first update that the Russian army has exchanged for blood, and the actual combat effect is very good.
Now Russia is updating the ** library, not only to destroy the flesh of Ukrainian soldiers, but also to destroy the will of the Ukrainian army to resist. After all, the Ukrainian army is also human, and it is impossible not to panic when they see their comrades-in-arms disappear in front of them in an instant.
It is true that the Ukrainian army has been resisting, but it is becoming more and more difficult, and how much blood there is in Ukraine depends on the West.
Since it is for the West to fight, is it really worth draining the lives of generations of Ukrainians?
