Why Russia’s Glide Bombs are Almost Impossible for Ukraine to Stop | War on Tape | Daily Mail 

This is our new show War on Tape, watch it and let us know what you think in the comments below

The irony is they were saying Russia would run out of ammunition because of sanctions, but it was the US and EU combined that ended up running out of ammunition

Correction, Russia doesn't use GPS, they use their own satellite systems

The amount of misinformation is shocking

"It is less sophisticated then JDAM" If it has the same range and accuracy, while been simpler and cheaper, that's called BETTER ENGINEERED, not less sophisticated Mikhail Kalashnikov said it best: "Any fool can make a complex thing. It takes true engineer to make effective thing simple"

He just said the Russian took precaution to fly over the sea to minimize the bomb falling on civilians then he turns around and said the Russian don’t care. This guy is a clown.

Correction: US did not fight against "terrorist groups" in Iraq and Syria. It fought against legitimate governments in these countries

To be precise, the "M-62" part in the bomb designation isn't the year of production. Rather, it's the year when the bomb was designed/adopted.

Watching this so-called expert now I understand why the British people are completely clueless to what's going on in this war

for 2 years you lied to us saying Russia was terrible at this game. now the truth catches up and you try and pretend you were not lying ALL ALONG sigh. Also nice job trying to convince us NATO Glide bombs magically don't kill Civilians lol.

An Irish proverb. If two neighbors quarreled, then an Englishman came to them at night

The way the Gaza attack was described as an “attack on terrorists” Reminds me of the way the Vikings described their attack on England

I'm Spanish and the bias in these British and American news outlets is exhausting - crazy times that we have to watch Russian/Middle Eastern news for the full truth

As soon as a military specialist begins to talk about politics, he immediately turns into an ordinary English liar and demagogue.

The arrogance of the British chihuahua is amazing. How does he know that the Russians don't care about a bomb falling over civilians or other buildings? Oh, I remember, sorry. It's just like the Americans talking about the Vietnamese, isn't it? Those Asians didn't love their own as much as we do. I see now.

13:00 Ukrainians didn't withdraw from Avdiivka, they were defeated

"It leaves survivors with brain damage" 🤣

M-62 means "Model of 1962". It either indicates the year it was designed or the one it entered service. It does NOT mean it was manufactured in 1962. They are still being manufactured today. Even the Wikipedia article on these bombs clearly states that for crying out loud. EDIT: There are tons of other mistakes of varying severity in the video, that need to be addressed. so here we go... The UMPKs are not fitted with "GPS trackers". You can call these electronic modules "satellite navigation modules", "GNSS modules/receivers" and other such terms to indicate they enable the bomb to use satellite navigation. GPS specifically refers to the US satellite navigation system, with its 100% US built, owned and operated satellite constellation. I don't think I need to state why it's a terrible idea to use your enemy's GNSS to guide your own bombs. Russians outfit their UMPKs with GNSS receivers designed to work with their own, domestic system, GLONASS. The kind of missile countermeasure seen dumped in the Su-34 clip at 2:54 is called "chaff" and bares 0 similarity to a flare both in looks and function. Flares are meant to distract missiles using IR seekers, and 99% of such missiles have a very short range ( e.g. MANPADS ). Chaff on the other hand is meant to provide a false target for missiles using active or semi-active radar guidance. It's essentially a puff of metallic confetti that reflects radiowaves extremely well in all directions, hence why it lights up like a Christmas tree on radar. Missiles using radar guidance are usually designed for medium up to extremely long range shots, and as such they are exactly the one single type of threat that these Su-34s flying high and far away from Ukrainian airspace must be aware of and defend against. The UMPK fitted bombs are VERY accurate. They can easily achieve a

Unfathomably mighty shovels powered by washing machine chips.

Those shovels :)

25 years old rich technocrat saying ukrainians have to "replace losses"...

Saying "the bombs must be accurate enough to not kill civilians" after showing theyre used by israel in gaza is quite.. funny :D

2yrs ago We're told "Ammunitions" dried out and Russia is literally using Shovels and washing machines 😂😂!

TLDW Summary: In short they say Ukraine is losing the NATO war against Russia.

🇷🇺Russian flying shovel is deadly

Russia is getting more experience day by day thanks to western countries

JDAMs have existed for a long time, it is incredibly naive to think Russia couldnt make their own

The actual game changer. FAB 500/1500 with glide kits. Destroyed so many things and lives. Hugely responsible for Ukrainian Armed Forces retreat from Avdiivka. Probably the second most influential weapon system in this conflict after Lancet.

It was not a decision to withdraw from Avdievca. It was a defeat.

As soon as your expert said “when the Ukrainians decided to withdrawal from Avdivka” it was at that moment, I realised even I know more than your expert.

Repurpose, reuse, recycle. Didn't know the Rooskies were so environmental. We, would, of course build something from ground up at 30x the cost of these upgraded bombs.

It takes a very surface level reading of history to know that you should never count Russia out.

Half truth. Russians signal jammers manage to render JDAM useless

it is a flying washmachine with shovel wings and navigated by flock of geese

Tell your expert that the retreat order in Avdjivka came well after the soldiers on the frontline had already begun retreating on their own. The retreat order was just a de facto recognition of what was already happening. Usually the ukranian commanders do not give retreat orders, and also have some squad firing on their own troops caught retreating. I've seen live footage of this barbaric behavior.

When you subcontract a war you should think about these things...

A British expert...🤣 How are your Trident missiles doing? How about your navy? Still running into each other in ports?

Russian propaganda doesn't seen that crazy in comparison to these guys 😂

After this is all done, it will be interesting to see an interview with a Russian pilot who survived the war.

Moral of the story. Don't mess with Russia on their doorstep because you will get defeated and humiliated. 😂

Refrigerators can glide also? 😮

they are not working with GPS, they use GLONASS, the russian navigation system....

Like it or not Ukraine has lost this war, from the very beginning.

"It contains a GPS".. Meaning it has nice computer chips ...so, sanctions are not working?

So NATO has no answer for this refurbished and upgraded shovel from 1960s.

The propagandis at your best

corrections: the IDF are using JDAMs against civilians NOT Hamas.

"Yes it will explode" Shows completely unexploded bomb in a house. Come on lmao

Russia is not working on ever bigger ones. They have been produced in the past - FAB1500, 3000,5000,9000

RUSI expert ? anyone who says Ukraine is winning is an expert ! 😂

People in the comments don't want to hear an Russian advantage not matter what

Correction: The IDF doesn’t target terrorists hiding in residential areas. They target civilians and neighborhoods. That’s why there’s international warrants issued against their PM and defense minister.

Moral of the Story: NATO is losing as Russia methodically gains 40 sq.kms daily !

We were told Russia only have shovels.

This glide shovels are naughty. Cant believe the things they do with washing machines. Its disturbing and sends a chill down my spine ..

I mean the way they rolled and wings deployed, what a simple design, yet super effective and efficient. The amount of testing that went into it.

All what the guest said was BS

It means they are still using old Soviet bombs in their arsenal. And they are using them accurately and effectively.

4:55 When they casually start listing just a sample of how many wars this bomb has been used in and its not even that old lol

Ukraine basically has no airforce to counter these aircraft before they drop these glide bombs.

Uh.. russia copied it?? But u said earlier russia and us had it.

Russia is defending itself from Nato. Russia has a right to defend itself.

I think Taipei/Taiwan should learn the clear lessons of Afghanistan and Ukraine: don't entrust your regime's fate via NATOstan.

"ah, um, um, ah." try hiring highschool grads who can speak without tripping over their tongues.

People forget that Russia had a space station of it's own and launched the first satellite into space, in human history, called Sputnik in 1957. They even had a missile system that knocked down a U2 spy plane that was at 60,000 feet, in 1960, a time when America had zero smart missiles. In 1994, an old Russian air defense system brought down an F117. So Russia has always been way ahead of the west in military tech and guided bombs. Russians also have the aptitude for quick technological adaptability.

gliding shovel. This is the epidemy of he who laughs first will not have the last laugh. I remember the jokes they made about no Ammo and washing machines and shovels. LMAO

They dropped hundreds of tons of bombs of Avedevka daily. So it was bomb tonnage and not artillery that decided the battle. Simply put, they dropped heavier and more explosive firepower on target with airpower. The speed and tonnage dropped can't be replicated with the amount of guns on the battlefield.

5:09 wow iraqi, syrian, libyan people who resisted americans declared terrorist. how shocking!

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid. 😂

"How many of these old Sovietic bombs do you still have?" Russia : YES

Damn I thought FAB meant fabulous 😂

@1:19 you made a critical error there. Russia already has 3000Kg, 5000Kg and even a 9000Kg Bomb. They only need to Upscale their "wing kit". Btw. that 9000Kg bomb is about twice as powerful, as the Biggest non-nuclear warhead, USA ever dropped (MOAB, in Afghanistan). It is the biggest non-Nuclear warhead, ever fitted under a plane And there is NO plane that could carry it internally. (imagine Tsar-bomba, but with conventional thermobaric payload). Nevermind, With Justin Bronk you guys found the right amount of Echo-damaged Think-Tank resident, to "explain" it all, despite only managing to contradict himself. @7:44 he claims: "The Russians have essentially struggled to find a particularly impactful way to use the majority of their fighter fleets...." Yes, After they DECIMATED the Ukrainian air force, (which seeks to buy every single airframe they can get hold of) their Air-to air frames stayed mostly on the ground. Their Interceptors still throw Kh-47's which not even Patriot batteries can stop. And SU-25 still deliver the "dumb loads". I think there is enough "Far behind the frontline"-evidence, that they are VERY busy. The lack of energy, Infrastructure, manpower and ammunitions in Ukraine says:" You are in DENIAL, Mr.Bronk". A chill-pill would keep you still. Because THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

British strategists devised "Operation Unthinkable," an apt name for what would have been World War III. This document is the property of His Majesty’s Government. The war with the Soviet Union was to begin on 1 July 1945. This operation began in April 1945, when the war was not over, but the outcome was clear. The possible distribution of forces in the world after the victory over Germany, already at that time did not please the United Kingdom and the USA, so the «Unthinkable» was hastily planned. So did the "allies" of Soviet Russia. The document, which is now in the UK National Archives, details all the steps of the operation. Operation Unthinkable (1945) assumed a surprise attack by up divisions forces of the "allies", the "dogface" troops in the area of Dresden, in the middle of Soviet lines. A surprise attack by 47 British and American divisions supported by 10-12 German divisions, which "allies" held as not generated in Schleswig-Holstein and in southern Denmark should support the blow, they were daily trained by the British instructors: prepared for the war against the USSR. The storming of Berlin sobered the British. The conclusion of the Chiefs of Staff of the British troops was clear: the blitzkrieg against the Russians would not work. On this was completed the development of operation «Unthinkable». Meanwhile, while planning a war against the USSR, the pragmatic allies persuade Stalin to help them with the Japanese after defeating Germany. Americans after World War II are almost masters of peace. Not the Soviet Union, which fought fascists for four years, liberated all of Europe, losing more than 20 million people and a quarter of the economy on the front and civilians, but the United States, which once again managed to use the war to their advantage. History is repeating itself... again. "Operation Unthinkable” is ongoing... HISTORIA EST MAGISTRA VITAE - history is the mentor of life (Cicero). History is not a teacher, but a overseer : she teaches nothing, but severely punishes ignorance of lessons. (O.V. Klyuchevsky, Russian historian).

6:45 Expert from kinder garden... 😁

I like it that Mr Bronk looks worried about the way the battlefront is looking… And to say Russia @doesn’t care” about loss of civilians on Russian territory is pure bigotry! The country feels it is fighting for its very existence and is determined to get the victory it wants at great cost.

less than 130000 ukrainian soldiers able to fight... while Russia has more than 650000 trained personnels. in terms of losses, ukraine has lost about 10 time more soldiers (dead or unable to return to combat), about 600000 thousand men. In light of those numbers, the decisive point for Russia is its ability to open more front that Ukraine can defend because of the huge difference in man power and material ressources. and because of this simple fact, Ukraine has absolutely no chance of winning in the long run. The winged FAB-500 is just an other material asset among all the available ressources. Alone they are not decisive, but combine with all available ressources, it allow russians to elaborate more strategies and ways to pin down ukrainian soldiers to achive victory. This is a luxury that ukrainians don't have right now (lack of vehicles, weapon, ammunition and men), and they will probably never have in the future.

How that analyst think that I am gullible 😂😂😂😂😂

10:50 dude said they fire missiles over Caspian see in case missile motor fail so it drops in sea in that case and then few seconds later says they dont care if it drops on civilians after failure launch lol

"The bomb is live as soon as it is launched" > shows footage of bombs with failed glide kits that didn't explode.

This has some serious cyberpunk vibes

NATO said Russia was fighting with shovels and would run out of weapons last year😂 . The media lies so much.

Did he just called resistance in Iraq, Afg, Libya, Gaza who are fighting occupations terrorists!

Glide bombs are much cheaper than ground to ground missiles, but how much of that cost advantage goes away if you figure in the price of launching the glide bombs from expensive aircraft that need lots of expensive maintenance, highly trained pilots and air defence?

hold on, didn't Russia run out of washing machine chips and shovels last year? western MSM can be so confusing

It was not a withdrawal from Avdiivka but an @$$ whopin'

Never forget Russian Glide shovel......

its not a mistake NEVER. ITS A MISTAKE TO NEVER PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED TRULY AS FOOL'S WILL DO AT THE LAST SECONDS.

I find it difficult to believe that most of the comments containing conjecture are not deliberate disinformation.

Cheap, unlimited stock and easy to convert so it's Fabolous

1.5 tonnes of weaponized flying shovels just what i thought 2024 warfare would be like

The U.S. was using this since the the late 90s early 2000s.

Russian soldiers fight with shovels, British intelligence says

this expert told the truth half of the story, half made it up to please people who believe that the Ukrainian fascists of the Kyiv regime are very successful. Someone tell him that gliding bombs began to be used precisely because missiles were able to destroy most of the air defense from the Patriots and S-300. and now these systems are in short supply and are used to cover objects away from the front. and the Su-34 can fly up to distances sufficient for a drop. Only from the beginning of 2024 there is a video recording the destruction of 40 Ukrainian air defense installations and 20 Ukrainian radar installations. Which two air defense systems out of these forty did the expert remember? The funny thing is that he said that the Russians would not mind if a bomb fell on their cities because the engine was not turned on, this is said by a person from a country that demands that Ukraine launch missiles at civilian targets in Russia! everyone knows that Ukraine is faced with the ineffectiveness of using weapons against military targets and countries donating weapons have called for using them against the civilian population of Russia.

what they failed to mention at the end is that Russia enjoy a 10 to 1 advantage over Ukraine in Artillery shells shot every month

I love these socalled experts british media use. "The russians fly a long route and launches the missiles over the Caspian Sea, so they will drop there if the rockets dont light" and very next sentence "russians don't care if they drop a bomb on their own soldiers".

"стандарты" журналистики - отсылка к вермахту. Именно оттуда заимствована эта идея. Таких бомб больше ни у кого не было. На кого это рассчитано? На ракушек?

The big question is - why is JDAM ER failing, whereas the UMPK FABs perform almost perfectly ...

IRIS-T anti-air system firm's factory on fire in Germany 6 days ago - According to Adrian Wenzel, a spokesman for the Berlin fire service, the structure had entirely burnt through and a portion of it had fallen.

The US has placed its bets on winning wars based on fear, chaos, terror, death, and destruction, in high level intensity battlefields, these are tricks. This war in Ukraine is not a war of tricks, but a war of attrition, in a real war, the US tricks don't work, none of it. This might also explain the huge shortfall of US weapons on hand. That is because, a small amount of super weapons, with tricks, always did the trick, and it was supposed to do the trick, again, on Russia, in Ukraine. Before this, it was enough, there was never a need for huge stockpiles of US weapons. Well, that's just too bad, Russia and its large stockpiles of weapons has already won this war, and The US is once again in a defeatist position, yet, in stubbornness and shame, it's refusing to concede defeat. Instead, the US continue on with its tricks, but no matter how long it keeps this up, the US will have no choice but to concede, any which way it chooses.
