MOSCOW, July 29. /TASS/. The Sukhoi Su-34 frontline bomber, equipped with high-explosive aerial bombs (HE bombs) with a universal gliding and correction module (UGCM), is an example of a symbiotic relationship that transforms munitions into long-range precision weapons, Russia’s Rostec state corporation reported.

The Russian Defense Ministry regularly reports the destruction of Ukrainian armed forces’ facilities by high-explosive aerial bombs equipped with UGCM. These munitions are used on Su-34 frontline bombers, which are supplied to the army by the United Aircraft Corporation. "The use of HE bombs with the UGCM is an example of the perfect symbiosis of combat aircraft and munitions. The UGCM’s combined inertial-satellite guidance system allows the crew, using preset coordinates, to launch a bomb several tens of kilometers from the target. The Su-34's ability to simultaneously carry several HE bombs ensures precision and extremely powerful strikes," Rostec emphasized.

It noted that HE bombs are also produced within the state corporation. In particular, the heavy FAB-3000 bomb, equipped with a winged module, is transformed into a strategic weapon. Its powerful high-explosive charge is capable of destroying, for example, heavily defended command posts and razing to the ground permanent fortifications.

Furthermore, high-explosive aerial bombs of 1.5-ton, 500-kg, and 250-kg weight classes are used with the universal gliding and correction module, demonstrating high effectiveness against dispersed targets, concentrations of equipment, and field fortifications.
