- Russia is using cheap, highly-explosive glide bombs to devastating effect in Ukraine. Moscow has been launching thousands of these massive retrofitted Soviet-era explosives at Ukraine, putting further strains on their military. These weapons were used against Ukraine’s second largest city Kharkiv and the assault on the eastern city of Avdiivka. So what can Ukraine do?
WSJ explains how these bombs work and why they are so hard for Kyiv to counter.

If death comes suddenly from a silent weapon, would there be a lot of psychological impact?
The psychological part is probably the most important indeed. It probably to some level affects Ukraine's success in recruiting. I wonder if Ukraine, once it receives additional fighter jets, will be able to make a big enough dent in Russian air capability to stop these bombs from falling.

@@bigmungus4864 a projectile can be any object that is moving under the influence of gravity and air resistance (when theres is air).

Another reason they're hard to kill is because these glide bombs don't have a heat signature, since they are unpowered. AA missiles can't track them. The glide bombs are similar to American JDAMs, taking dumb bombs and putting wings on them.

US military is over, there whole structure is for the defense companies not for actually security.
😂В Африке АК 47 за 200$ творит чудеса
Actually the US has been doing this since the 90's with the JDAM. You take a old korean war surplus gravity bomb, replace the tail with a guidance kit, and you have a JDAM. Once you take into account purchasing power parity, the jdam is actually quite a bit cheaper than the FAB. The us has used far more jdams than any other guided weapon that I know of, and produced some 500k of them.
It gets worse. The Houthis in Yemen are wreaking havoc on US and UK ships, using $2,000 drones. Meanwhile, the U.S. will expend tens of million of dollars or AD missiles, in order to shoot down those drones.
Just like the Iranian strike on Israel. It cost Israel and their allies BILLIONS of dollars in AD missiles. Meanwhile, Iran spent relative pennies on it.
@@Vsor "purchasing power parity" Can you share the math behind it

The percusive wave from the FAB 3000 has a huge kill radius, (exact radius unknown). The US MOAB (Massive Ordanance Air Burst Bomb) aften called the (Mother of all bombs) is the largest conventional bomb, (Glide Bomb) 21,500 LB's

Russia already started using FAB-3000 and finishing UMPC for FAB-5000. You also forget about thermobaric weapons, where RUS side is already using ODAB bombs grades from 250 up to 3000 and FOAB (Father of All Bombs- 15 000 kg thermobaric charge) is planned to enter the chat also.
1.5 ton is not 1500 pounds
1 pound is like 500 grams
So it's more like 3000 pounds approximately

These videos are aging so very fast that UMPK 3000 is already in active use a day before this video was published.
For those wondering, they are unstoppable not because they are hard to track on radar or to bring down. They are quite slow and have a reasonable radar cross section.
The problem is shooting a target that costs 20k with a PAC-3 MSE missile that costs 4 M.
They clearly explained how tiny their radar cross sections are, like tiny dots. Otherwise they'd have shot them down with the Gepards.
You're busy making up your own facts.
When you shoot 20k target with 4M rocket, invisible 152mm shell explodes in your pocket and blow your budget into oblivion.
I don't believe it, the FABs do not have a motor so they are actually really hard to detect and intercept.
@@evilleader1991 Yeah seriously. They're falling at hundreds of miles per hour, have no radar of their own, no heat signature, and no hollow fuselage. They're extremely dense, fast, silent and it's not like they fly around. They're literally ordnance dropped from an aircraft. Not much of an opportunity to "intercept" a boulder hurdling into the ground.
They are relatively small, and have no motor. Their radar signature is minute

@@wolfswinkel8906 Yeah. Unfortunately.
That's one heavy shovel.
One aspect that deserves acknowledgment is the ingenuity displayed by both Russian and Ukrainian forces in adapting and modifying weaponry at a fraction of the cost compared to highly advanced U.S. technology. Consider the contrast between inexpensive drones equipped with improvised explosive devices, secured with simple zap straps, costing only a few thousand dollars, versus a sophisticated Javelin missile priced at nearly $100,000, yet serving the same purpose of neutralizing a tank.
However, the Achilles’ heel for the United States lies in its exorbitant costs, which could potentially lead to economic turmoil in the event of an all-out World War III. As we contemplate the aftermath of such a global conflict-hopefully devoid of nuclear weapons-one cannot help but wonder about the state of the economy. Will we find ourselves in a depression, grappling with hyperinflation and unprecedented poverty? The answers remain uncertain, but the impact would undoubtedly be profound
Nah, the US has a neat strategy. We manufacture weapons then sell them to our allies at a profit, and have our allies use them on our enemies for us. Also, trading either a $1000 drone or a $100,000 Javelin missile for a $3,000,000+ tank is a pretty good deal.
The US has a very different military doctrine than Russia and Ukraine. In a conventional war against Russia, the US military would never have to worry about glide bombs hitting buildings or much of the other nonsense Ukraine is dealing with, primarily because they would establish air superiority.

This day they start using the fab-3000 , that was horrible.
F16 and the French jets will meets at least 4 main big difficulties before they can shot down Russian jets using glide bombs..
Problem.1. RUSSIAN radar.
They have to pass airspace covered very extensive by more than one kind of air defense system of which f300 and f400 are two of the air defence systems the Russians are using. Which all of them are connected to russian radar airplanes which make the radar coverage of Ukraine even more extensive.
Problem. 2. Russian Jets.
- The f16 will meet Russian modern fighter jets in the air of which Su35 is only one of them. Which have air to air missiles with longer range compared to f16 and the french fighter jets.. And the russian jet pilots are very well trained and many of them with experience from Syria.
Problem .3. The pilots.
The pilots would years to learn to use say the f16 very effective. They only seem to get around one year of training in the west. A training which have two problems on its own. The training to fly the jets are in English. And the soldiers from Ukraine do not have very good english knowledge. Second problem. Just around 20 Ukrainians which are in the training to fly f16 can not fly 60 planes at the same time. With to few planes flying at the same time it will be hard to form the critical mass to make a difference in the war.
Problem.4. LOCATION.
If the jets are located before before flying to hit military targets start outside Ukraine, lets say in Romania it will be an act of war according to the rules of war by Romania towards Russia. Which means airfields with these f1jets in Romania will be attacked by Russia which risk to start ww3 between Nato/West and Russia.
If the jets are located and start flying from Ukraine territory I wonder how long they will survive while on the ground as the Russians have missiles the American Patriot systems can not shot down..
So the question is how succesful will f16 and french jets really be?!
** And something else you may not read about in the West media which only show one side of the coin.
......
How some people outside the west would say NATO/The West actually was the ones who provocked Russia and caused the ongoing war in 5 ways:
Thought it could be good tell the other side of the story. In Western media you only hear the propaganda lie so many people now believe. Not strange. If you hear/read the lie hundreds of times during a couple of years you start to believe it. Talking about the biggest propaganda lie ever in history perhaps "that the ongoing Russian war/invasion in Ukraine was unprovocked" repeated over and over again..
Here is the a list of how the
USA/The West/Nato provocked the ongoing war in Ukraine in 5 ways with the goal of making the Russian economy crash under pressure of sanctions and higher and higher war expenses with the hope that ordinary citizens of Russia would rise up and take down the present government of Russia lead by the president Vladimir Putin and replace it with a Western friendly Russian goverment which the West could control:
1. Nato expansion in Eastern Europe and more and more along the Russian border. Expansion even if Russia said many time to Nato that they see the expansion as a very serious threat to national security of Russia. So by the expansion new nato members felt more secure while Russia for every new member felt the national security of Russia was more and more threaten. In that light. Not so hard so see that if you increase countries feeling of security in this way it can go very wrong if the same expansion are making a superpower feel its national security more and more threaten by every new Nato member that this development one day can lead to conflicts and a war like the one ongoing in Ukraine..
With other words. One superpower, USA, leading a military alliance which take in more and more member close and along another superpower, Russia, borders. Not hard to understand that an expansion of one superpowers military close another superpower could and lead to conflicts and in this case the Ukraine war. Just think how USA would have reacted if a russian military alliance in alternative universe would have started talking about accepting Mexico and Canada as members..US would in this alternative universe for sure had invaded these countries as Russia invaded Ukraine for the same reason to stop an existential threat to national security to arise..
2. US coup in Ukraine. USA plan and paid for the coup which removed the democratical elected and russian friendly Ukraine government not so many years before the ongoing war of today in Ukraine. And replaced that goverment with a Western/US friendly government. One of many US suppported coup around the world during the last 100 years to get a US friendly government in another country. The coup we are talking about is the orange revolution in 2004-2005.
3. Nato governments/In Europe and USA participated in peace negotiations in Minsk and Istanbul with Ukraine and West/Nato just fooling Russia to have time to send a lot of Arms to Ukraine och upgrade its military capability.Both the present president in France and the former leader, Angela Merkel, of Germany have admit they just fooled the Russians who thought the negotiations was real with Ukraine and the West. Talk about a big provokation.
4. Ukraines governments sending representatives to Donbas to try to stop etnic russians from using russian language and living according to russian culture. This treatment lead to an uprising in Donbas by ethnic russians towards the Ukraine government whoch became a civil war which was ongoing many years before the present big war between Russia and Ukraine today in Ukraine. That the west/nato/us with close ties to Ukraine government did say to their alies in Kiev to stop this treatment was for sure very provoking for Russia. If west had said no the Ukraine goverment would have stopped the bad treatment of ethnic russia as the west otherwise could have stopped the big arm shipments to Ukraine. But the west did nothing.
5. The war declaration towards Russia by Nato representatives for Ukraine. Here it comes. NATO started to talk on western media about the possibility of Nato membership for Ukraine knowing very well that Russia saw Ukraine Nato membership as an existential threat to the National security of Russia. One thing Russia said to Nato representatives many times that they would never accept to be created. Nato knew with others words that a war in Ukraine soon would follow if they started to talk about Nato membership of Ukraine.. And started to talk anyway knowing ver well what would happen. I guess Nato/US wanted the war and the sanction which were a chances for them to turn the Russian public against Putin with big economical problems in Russia as a result of the war as it in best case for Nato, as nato hoped for, it would have resulted in the fall of Putins goverment and a west friendly government taking over the power of Russia. But it did not happen. Horrible that the Ukraine people had to suffer and die and get their country destroyed for this global power play move by Nato/US against Russia.

Yes, well said & all 100% TRUE

Are my ears deceiving me? Is the Wall Street Journal finally admitting that wunderwaffe is a myth if you don’t have the sheer numbers?
Ukraine lost
Signa peace treaty before more is lost.
Some territorial gains?
Lady, Russia controls eastern Ukraine lol
It doesn't; not even 1 region of Ukraine, excluding Crimea, is controlled by Russia entirely.

@@robkit6681 man, everyone can check this info just by spending 3 minutes on Google.
@@robkit6681 name any region of Eastern Ukraine controlled by ruzzia?
okay, so if Ukraine can stop the third most powerful airforce in the world, then they have a better chance of holding their positions, did I read that correctly?
so if i would try to translate it, it says ukraine is not winning, even though ukraine has been winning for 2 years and will be winning until their eventual surrender?
Russian Federation lost back in 2014. The Nazis may win temporarily, but the Russian Federation will not win the war.
Appreciate the coverage.
The way to stop these bombs is TO GIVE UP and COME TO THE NEGOTIATION TABLE.
No.
@@tdrm yes.
Well Russia can always give up
@@suprotyv7534 They will ---- of course this whole thing was because Ukraine was shelling and killing the indigenous Russian population of Donbass since 2014 and Mr Putin finally had enough. He met time and time again to get the shelling stopped. To no avail. He was lied to time after time. So Russia started their limited engagement. The USA however, saw it as a grand time to destroy Russia, so enacted sanctions and continued to ship Billions of dollars of munitions to Ukraine (hundreds of Billions). As long as Ukraine is hosting armed forces on the border, and as long as the Nazis are fighting in the Ukrainian military, Mr Putin has made it clear that he will go as far as it takes to make sure Russia is secure. Imagine if China put arms on the Mexican border of the USA. Would this last? But the USA (NATO) insists on doing this same thing in Ukraine. It is not about defending 'democracy' in Ukraine, it is about keeping Russia safe. So, I am sure you are right, Russia will give up --- as soon as the threat to the Russian people ends. Too bad Zelinsky is an outlaw president of the pseudo-democratic Ukraine, it leaves few that Mr Putin can trust to come to the table. Regardless, there will be no more Ukraine shortly. Sad for all the dead. You might be surprised, I am from the USA. It disgusts me that my government is so evil. None of this needed to happen.
So russia have easier time killing people who are not resisting?
Higher firepower, more soilders, more expirience but for some reasons Ukraine has fewer losses LOL
Putin has told Ukraine he wants peace negotiations. I haven't verified, but he wont push ukraine super hard if he wants them to come to the table against Joe Biden's wishes. Joe Biden has told ukraine no peace negotiations, and heres another 100 Billion dollars of weapons. Joe is dragging the war out for no reason

You've misspelled FAB 3000 shovel.
You guys missed the FAB3000, FAB5000 and the FAB9000.
The FAB3000 gilded bombs are already in use. And the FAB5000 glide version is being developed.
now there's FAB 3000s now
Nothing to beat the various inhuman weapons used by US in Vietnam.
They were even worse than the nuclear weapons used by US in Japan.
Shhh! Everything the West does to others is by default good, everything Russia does to others is by default bad. Don't challenge the narrative.
Yes and it won the war right? Or rather you want to speak German right now.
@@ajlacostewm No, the war was literally over before Hiroshima. It was just mass murder. And what does the German language have to do with it?
"agent orange" still effect on the grand children 3rd generations there has been a video documentaries of it
@mictub Yes, and it saved Japan from itself. Look at Japan today, the most modern country on the planet, more than the US.
Thought all they had were shovels?
The wings are made of former Soviet shovels.
f16 couldnt even protect their twins towers and pentagon though...
Its the wall street journal?!" 😂😂
The number (250, 500, 1500 and 3000) stands for kilos, not pounds. 1:22 so the FAB 1500 is around 2.960 pounds, not 1.488.
Wasn’t Russia running out of weapons 2 years ago? Weren’t they fighting with shovels? 😂
TWO WEEKS!
3 days 😂
@@MrTmenzo you do know that it was Gen Milley that said that first right?
@@ericx7476 shh, don’t tell him! When Russia wins, he’ll find out the hard way 😂
The Americans came up with the idea about the shovels so as not to give weapons to Ukraine
Actually, largest is FAB-3000, not 1500... And they are also being used.
The effect of electronic jamming against these Russian bombs is questionable. They use GLONASS, not GPS. The main difference: GPS uses single channel and frequency to communicate with the satellite. So, if you find that, you can effectively jam it. Which is why a lot of JDAMs landed on empty fields... GLONASS (Russian version of GPS) uses multiple channels and frequencies and can change them in flight. Which makes them nearly impossible to jam. Plus, they also have INS as a backup...
you cannot take the wall street garbage as a news source seriously or objectively its just poilitical yellow press
Очень эффективные бомбы, ещё ни один украинец не пожаловался на плохое качество.
I always knew carelessly walking past backgrounds full of Soviet missiles and tanks in NES games would come back to haunt us.
No history from where the idea comes from and who was using them until Russia started to use them?
the Fritz X made by the germans was the first ever glide bomb put into service and was made as anti ship missiles , famously used to sink and damage multiple italian ships when they changed sides under the war, then the japs followed suit and after the war every country in the world at some level had them as everyone started to develop their own. we have never seen glidebomb be used to this extend ever.
It is the Russians just finally getting on the JDAM equivalent.
Jdam cost how much? So you rather waste money?
The Jdams can be jammed but you can't jam the Russian glide bombs.
@@rodneyagesa1851 what's the difference ? both are GPS guided bombs with retrofit wings?
@@Funktastico RU uses GLONASS, not GPS and the frequencies are very close, meaning any jammer Ukraine has would also jam GPS in that area.
@@Funktastico the biggest difference is that its flonase verus gps.. encryption is native to glonass... its quite the herculean task to spoof glonass
Cheaper is how they won WW2. While Germans were using hyper engineered costly Tiger tanks, USSR was making cheaper T-34's in huge numbers.
These glide bombs are simply genius. Cheap, very destructive, and nearly unstoppable.
I also watched this video.
Yes, the US has been using them for decades. They're called JDAMs.
@@Brendissimo1JDAM carries only around 400lb of payload.....nothing close to FABs
@@PeaceWithYourNeighbour The fact that you think "JDAM" is a single type of bomb tells me all I need to know about your level of knowledge on this topic.
@@Brendissimo1 nonsense, what do you know about bombs
NATO when Russia develops their own JDAM and uses it the exact same way the USAF did in the middle east:🤯🤯🤯
well, you do have to give props to Russia for "recycling" old tech, instead of the west's wasteful spending on expensive new tech.

Why the Uniparty War Machine is so difficult to stop.
Just a facy shovel.
It's shovel 2.0
Wouldn't these be in kg? So the 1500 would have 1500kg so about 3000lbs?
The bomb isn't 100% explosives, it has some other components that make up part of the weight. Their estimate seems a bit off though, I'd guess a 1500kg (3300lb) bomb would have at least 2000 lbs of explosives.
In russian info it says that FAB 1500 has1500 kilo of explosive
can wsj say peace negotiations? I bet it cant.
