- Опубликовано: 9 май 2024
- Russian missile attacks have become part of everyday life for the people of Ukraine. Western air defense systems have helped Ukraine deal with
these attacks. But on the front lines the threat from ever larger and more dangerous Russian glide bombs is growing. DW correspondent Nick Connolly meets Ukrainian soldiers who are learning to live with this danger.

Last year DW was saying that Russia doesn't have weapons now they are crying again 😅😅😅😅😅
Well, it is true that Russia pretty much burned through much, even most of prewar stocks. In addition to their ongoing transfer to a full bore war economy, they imported quite a large number of shells and missiles from the NK's and Iranians. This has allowed them to continue the war at a high tempo that would have been impossible but for the weapons transfers...

There is a reason why the AK-47 is still the most used rifle around the world, and not the M16...
Absolutely CORRECT
It shows that the American Army is not the strongest but merely the most expensive one.
The reason is the US isnt selling their weapons to every terrorist who asks for them. China also flooded the market with their AKs.
Aks are abundant and can be used by children without issues, thats why its the most used rifle.

1.1 billion $ system vs 20.000$ Soviet bomb.
The two patriot + Ukkraine S-300 hit wasn't a Glide Bomb , that only have 40km range.. It was a Russian Iskander missile strike.. with 500km range. IT cost about a million per missile , still is was a big deal , because Russia destroyed with just 1 million dollars 2.5 billions worth of Air defenses. with its entire officers operators and special forces protecting them. SO from 60 people ,high paid military officers got killed in a single iskander strike. Russian rocket artillery like Tordado -S ,which is the Russian equivalent to HIMARS ,also have been able to hit them too and with Hypersonic missiles too.
And Shovels…

And yet, for almost 2 and a half years now, the "second most powerful military on the planet" is still trying to push through the defense lines that were established when the war started. Russia managed to occupy only 18% of the territory, and that's including the territories occupied since 2014. How do you explain that?
@@tihi1788 You do realize that within these 2.5 years, Russia has destroyed 4 versions of the Ukrainian military to the point where not only is Ukraine begging EU nations to send back Ukrainians who fled at the start of the war and Kiril Budanov admits they are out of reserves, Ukraine is going to use prisoners as soldiers. Also NATO nations are being depleted of their weapons and admit that they do not have the manufacturing capacity to meet the demands of this attrition war. Essentially, Russia has demilitarized Ukraine and Europe.
This isn't about land so much. It's about destroying a military threat and Russia is doing that at a pace it is comfortable with. And NATO is going along with it. When this is over, NATO will not be a military threat to Russia.

fun fact these glide bombs are very difficult to track by radar ,often seen a a dot on screen which then disappears
I think this is due to the fact that these bombs do not have an accelerator to generate heat, but simply wings. That is, it does not generate heat at all.
@@isko9201 are you sure?
@@isko9201 Nothing to do with heat. Radar works by sending out radio waves that reflect off an object back to the radar dish. They are hard to dectect because they are so small(relatively speaking) and rounded-shaped which means the radio waves don't reflect back to the radar dish as well compared to a plane/ship/flock of birds/etc
@@keffjennedy5578I think he means IRST, the passive detection system that track thermal signatures of flying objects. Its very effective against mid and low atlitute objects but since the bomb has no rocket boosters, its heat signature is not enough to be detected and tracked by IRST.

Главное помнить: Россия горела ровно столько раз, сколько раз были повержены её враги.
В России главная ценность - это семья, родные люди: родители, братья, сёстры, дети, друзья. Сейчас мы не чувствуем угрозу со стороны Украины и запада, локальные конфликты возникали всегда и во всех точках земного шара. Большая часть граждан России продолжает жить мирной жизнью, редко чувствуя присутствие войны. НО! Но если каждый из нас почувствует угрозу родной земле, родному дому, и, в конце концов, родным и близким людям, то каждый возьмется за оружие и, если потребуется, отдаст за всё это свою жизнь (даже женщины, например, моя мама 1969 года не против воевать, если потребуется). И, поверьте, цена наших жизней для тех, кто всё это начал, будет очень велика. Даже если мы вдруг проиграем, даже если мы все погибнем, мы прихватим с собой столько врагов, сколько возможно, а возможно всех. Россия сейчас не воюет всем составом, всеми средствами и в полную силу. Мне 29, я мужчина, все мои друзья мирно живут и ни один не участвует в СВО. Россия не воюет всеми средствами, как это делает, например, Израиль в Палестине. Россия не воюет по принципу НАТО, когда всё вокруг бомбами превращается в пепел. НО ЭТО СКОРО МОЖЕТ НАЧАТЬСЯ. Не думаю, что кому-либо это действительно хочется, ни со стороны России, ни со стороны Запада.
Every piece of Russian military equipment is cheaper, and often better, than it's American equivalent. Cheaper in development, production ánd maintenance. The difference is significant, ranging from 1/2 price to 1/10 or less. This is not at all unique to these glide bombs. Btw, it's not that their equipment is no cheap...it's that US equipment is extremely expensive.
American election campaigns need to be financed ...
It also has 10-50x the failure rate and less than half the accuracy.
How Moskva doing?
There isn't a huge difference in cost between these Russian glide bombs and an American JDAM. The Russian kits are estimated at $20,000 while JDAMs are estimated at between $21,000 and $36,000.
Main difference in cost is probably that wages in the U.S. are about 4 times higher than those in Russia.
The Russian glide bombs have somewhat longer range (about 50km vs. about 30km) while the American JDAMs are slightly more precise, but that is mostly a reflection of the differing military doctrine than anything else. American doctrine focuses heavily on obtaining and maintaining air superiority, so by the time they're dropping JDAMs they don't really need to care about air defense or enemy aircraft.
because you earn 100k$ as an engineer in usa and 20k in rusia
Amerucan weapons are manufactured by state sponsored private military industry conplex. They will prepare arms and bombs to extract max money from US federal govt and not focus on mass production but for cost

Cost-effectiveness
USA thought that if they rich they can design insanely pricey war tech and win everyone
when in reality you must design most effective AND cheap, if you rich its just means you can afford awful lot of that cheap and effective enough weapons
nor drones nor glide bombs are particularly effective in small numbers but they unfairly cheap for their effect so its war of drone swarms and glide bomb rains. If it would happening in country smaller than Ukraine, this country would already be in full Lunar landscape from all this explosions
@@AtticusKarpenter The US doctrine for a general war would probably be decently effective, said issue is that defense contractors can charge 90,000 for a bag of washers you can get for 100$ in a Home Depot, which can push designs and projects over budget by allowing the contractor to pocket some of the money.
I mean Russian glide bomb is similar to US JDAM bomb, look up JDAM price, only $20k a unit, like exactly same price
@@AtticusKarpenter Когда речь заходит о государствах деньги не имеют значения. Значение имеет только ресурсы и производственные мощности.
Depends on how you calculate that cost. Western weapons are expensive but they are supremely effective in asymmetric warfare, against a technologically and numerically weaker enemy. They do one job very well: protecting friendly forces. That comes at a monetary price that is worth paying in asymmetrical warfare.
But in old fashioned steel-on-steel battles, such as the west has not fought since Vietnam, quantity begets a quality all of its own, and monetary costs start to matter. Something that Russia and Ukraine understand. The west also understands this, and they know that high tech defenses against low tech weapons like glide bombs and shahed drones cannot keep up indefinitely. For the west, these weapons are a game changer, not in the sense that they cannot counter them, but in the sense that they must do so cheaply.
how dare they use old munition they sould be ashamed of them selves
20k USD is the same as 2 western 155mm unguided artillery shell lol

"if you see what happens in Ukraine and you haven't got many of these systems yourself and you haven't got enough for your own country and you're not sure where you're going to get another one from' would you be willing to give the one you have to Ukraine or do you keep the one you have ?"
IT IS TRAGIC THAT THE USA WON'T LET -DID NOT LET UKRAINE AGREE in BELARUS AND ISTANBUL. THIS IS AN UNNECESSARY WAR.
Most tragic that USA felt the need to overthrow Yanukovich who wanted Ukraine in EU, just as member with its interests honored, not as a slave-state. Instead of that West equipped and supported thugs that seized power and started long civil war that now grew into international one with economic war pulled in much more countries
Eventually this is increased speed of forming of multi-polar world, which is good, but this would be happened later anyway, its just dying hegemon cant accept its decline and decided to grab more people in grave with itself and drow world in the blood for the last time
@@AtticusKarpenter In November 2013, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych unexpectedly withdrew from signing an association agreement with the European Union (EU) in favor of a Russian trade deal and loan bailout. This decision was made under economic pressure from Russia and sparked mass protests against Yanukovych, who was eventually ousted as president. Protesters were angry about government corruption, human rights violations, and the influence of oligarchs. The violent dispersal of protesters on November 30, 2013, led to further anger and the 2014 Revolution of Dignity. In May 2010, Yanukovych had promised to adopt legislation to create a free trade zone between Ukraine and the EU by March 2011. He also expected visas between Ukraine and EU member states to be abolished.
Не для мира они эту войну разжигали! Америке нужна война в Европе! Их госдолг об этом умоляет😢
Russia started it with there 3 day operation.
500 and 3000 is on the way
Up to 1500 already in use
Apparently 9000 in stock 😱😱
Kindly note that currently Russia is using the deadly FAB-1500 Glide bombs and almost completed the production of The FAB -3000 and feel sorry for ukraine troops when this FAB-3000 begins to do it's job.
if you "feel sorry" then demand putin stop his illegal war.
Most of the energy of an explosion gets wasted going into the atmosphere, 6xFAB-500 do more damage on the ground than 1xFAB-3000
I guess FAB 1500 and 3000 are not for the troops but to level factories
@@disposabull you are exhibiting extreme idiocy. These bombs are accurate to 2-3 metres. The shockwave isn't wasted, its shredding you.

The biggest issue nobody is talking about is that Ukraine has lost its fighting spirit. Just the fact that they have to draft men into service is proof that not enough men are willing to risk their lives for their country. But it's a lot worse in reality: Those drafted overwhelmingly refuse being drafted. The worst they have to face is a fine. And don't get me wrong, I would do the same thing. I'd rather go into debt for the rest of my life rather than lose my life on the front lines. And most of those who go into service right now WILL die. This dynamic is not something Ukraine can survive. No country in a war can survive the unwillingness of its citizens to fight.
The government of Ukraine, inspired by the caresses of Western Europe and the United States, lost touch with reality for a while, forgetting who it was dealing with.
Russian Kalashnikov will always hold the record for highest body count, why would he get new toy when something indestructible n reliable compared to the new toys?
You should say they're very effective against Western weapons

Yeah 250k of high explosive is gonna make a crater.
Didnt the interviewee just said the entire thing cost less than 20k USD?
it's rather 250kg that's the smallest glide bomb in the russians arsenals. they have up to 1500kg warhead and they are working to increase it to 3000kg soon. the highest price is $20k but not $250k

That feels like a true wonder weapon.
It's really not though. It's a bomb with a laser seeker or GPS unit and pop out wings. NATO has their own version called the JDAM-ER or "Joint Direct Attack Munition Extended Range". They even have a version of it that can be launched from the ground with a little rocket motor and then glide to it's target.
You do realize that it's just a bomb with wings, right?
@@Beep-yw1he It still has bigger impact on war than all the Ukrainian weapons combined except HIMARS
Its just a bomb from the 60's with fins. But hey, i am not the least bit surprised when old stuff turns out to be better than new stuff. Back then things where made cheap and sturdy, now everything is made as expensive and fragile as possible to increase profits.
@@kostam.1113 - The only reason this works is due to Ukraine's weakened air defense.
This mainstream media is so confusing.
Because they're propelled by Russian shovels. Best in the world.
Its a cheap and still effective version of the US glidebombs. The russians probably have countless thousands of normal bombs of various sizes from
the soviet era in storage and now modding them into glidebombs. The biggest one at the moment is 1500kG. Its a deadly bunkerbuster and can
flatten entire fortified highrise buildings. And it seems they are working on the 3000kG version,although i bet those are only for specialy hard targets.
Ukraine aswered this threat with stationing Patriot AA-batteries nearer to the front in order to reach the glidebomb cariers,but then those are also
more vulnerable for attacks and they lost quite a few of this very expensive batteries in recent weeks,empowering the russian airforce even more.
Russia has a wide arsenal of PGM. They have LASER and satellite guided bombs, just like Paveway and JDAM. They haven't used them much, because their range is too short for such a contested airspace. The only thing new here, is their addition of a simple glide kit. They're having issues adapting the guidance calculation and the fusing, for the glide glide path, which results in a lot going off target or hitting at too shallow angle to detonate. But, they're learning fast and improving.

NATO's war in Ukraine deterred by soviet shovels...
Of course everyone has to make it sound like some kind of hillbilly rig. Russia has had PGM for decades. They were the first to field a guided artillery round and the first to use one in combat. The US used Vietnam era bombs in Iraq with JDAM bolt on kits. The Paveway, the US' LASER guided bomb, is a bolt on kit (my dad worked on the assembly line for them at TI right after he got out of the Navy). The only thing 'new' for Russia, about these bombs, is the glide kit which is a bit more sophisticated than a simple GPS guided gravity bomb.
"If it kills, then it works."
Russia is way ahead of tge game. While we are busy trying to learn about the Glide Bombs they're Already working on another Smart Bombs better than the Glide Bombs😂
Now i understand why they where crying for russia not to use because of all the defend systems nato have been built in ukraine for years

The actual story of the Space Pen is proof of just how well the American system works.
First off, nobody uses pencils in space. Not the Americans or Russians. Before the Space Pen, they used grease pencils.
Secondly, the American government didn't spend a dime on space pens. A private company developed a pen that worked in space. They gave hundreds of them to NASA for free on the condition that they could advertise and sell the Space Pen as the pen that astronauts used.
Fisher Space Pen Company made a bundle of money selling these pens to kids who wanted to be astronauts and NASA got a bunch of pens for free. These days NASA needs to buy them for about $5 a pop (in bulk) since their original supply of a few hundred ran out.
If you want to buy a Space Pen they are still available to the public, starting at $8. It is, after all, a product of American capitalism.
I gave my washing machine to the army to use it wisely.
Russian shovels are very good.....
