Su-34 Releases FAB-UMPK Bombs

Global Military Forum

Footage shows a Russian Su-34 deploying FAB-series bombs fitted with UMPK glide kits during combat operations. The UMPK system converts conventional FAB bombs into precision-guided standoff weapons using folding wings and GLONASS-assisted navigation. Since 2023, UMPK-equipped bombs have become a key component of Russian air operations, allowing strike aircraft to engage targets while remaining outside many frontline air-defense zones.  Expert Insight:  Low-cost glide bomb kits have significantly increased the survivability of tactical aircraft operating in contested airspace while placing additional pressure on defending ground forces.
