The Russian army began massively using its new FAB-3000 heavy bombs upgraded with the universal planning and correction modules for destruction of the Ukrainian military positions on the frontlines.
Until recently, Russian aircraft pounded the military positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with less powerful bombs like FAB-250, FAB-500 and FAB-1500. They were earlier upgraded with the universal modules. After the modules were developed for three-ton bombs, they entered the battles in Ukraine.
The first cases of deployment of the upgraded FAB-3000 bombs by the Russian Aerospace Forces were confirmed by the footage from Ukrainian battlefields in June. However, according to the reports from the front, they were already used for the strikes on the Ukrainian military in different directions.
Although the first filmed strikes with FAB-3000 demonstrated their minor deviations from the target, their strike power turned out to be enough to guarantee the destruction of the targeted facilities. The results of the test launches were likely found satisfactory by the Russian military, and the use of the FAB-3000 is becoming more and more frequent on Ukrainian battlefields.
Most of the recorded strikes were reportedly filmed in the Kharkiv region, where Russian heavy bombs are pounding Ukrainian hideout in the town of Liptsy.

The results of the first recorded strike filmed by Ukrainian servicemen:
Ukrainian servicemen themselves confessed that the mass use of the upgraded heavy bombs by the Russian Aerospace Forces had a great effect on the ongoing hostilities. In particular, they played a decisive role in the Russian assault in Avdeevka and large industrial facilities there. Russian heavy bombs are not only destroying Ukrainian fortified strongholds but they also have a demoralizing effect on Ukrainian servicemen.
