Details: Depending on the variant, such an aerial bomb is capable of releasing from 100 to 350 submunitions, which usually explode either in hundreds of high-velocity fragments or in one large cumulative projectile.

According to reports, Russian occupiers are using the RBK-500 against Ukrainian forces on the Ugledar axis and near Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.

Intelligence sources note that the Russian Federation could add a UMPC module to the RBK-500 aerial bomb. This allows the carrier aircraft to release ammunition many kilometers from the target.

The department added that usually Russian glide bombs have low accuracy.

In a previous review, British intelligence reported that little progress by the Russian Federation near Avdievka was given to its occupation forces at the cost of thousands of victims.

According to the department, over the past six weeks, the losses of the Russian occupation forces – the highest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
