Russia uses modernised KABs in rear cities of Ukraine
Modernised guided aerial bombs (KAB) of the Russian Federation, equipped with universal planning and correction modules (UMPC), which convert conventional unguided aerial bombs into gliding bombs, are actively used throughout Ukraine.
Previously, Russian invaders used KABs to strike frontline territories. However, in the autumn, there were reports of KAB strikes on rear settlements.
In September, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov, stated that Russian troops were once again able to strike Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs.
