It should be noted that the goal was to accumulate manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“An ODAB-500 aerial bomb with a universal planning and correction module was dropped on the enemy,” the Defense Department said.
After receiving confirmation from intelligence that the targets had been successfully destroyed, the crew returned to the departure airfield.
Earlier, there were reports of strikes by the Russian Armed Forces in the Ukrainian region of Sumy. Local authorities said that on Friday, August 9, Russian aircraft used new gliding munitions, “a kind of hybrid between a bomb and a missile.” They are similar to guided bombs, but “have an engine” and fly “much farther and more accurately.”
