This was highly apparent in Avdeevka stronghold, where a few days of massive bombardment with glide-guided FAB 500s, often fairly close to advancing Russian positions, completely liquified the will-to-fight of the doomed defenders. Many AD radars and missile installations, moved to the front lines, have been taken out by Russian Lancets recently.
I recently saw a video where some British 'expert' explained that Russian gliding bombs are inaccurate because EW will accumulate more errors, the longer the flying range. Not sure if this is true, I suspect it is British propaganda and they don't have any real evidence that this is actually the case. Obviously GLONASS will provide more accurate readings than any inertial guidance system, but how much error would accumulate within 70km.
Another question: are the targets handed out before an aircraft with gliding bomb is sortied, or can the aircraft fly on 'stand by' waiting for a target of opportunity to be issued to it?
If it's like the US JDAM, the pilot can punch in coordinates received from a ground unit. There was an incident early in the Afghan war where a US special forces team punched coordinates in for a strike and then had to change the battery in the hand held transmitter. When they changed the battery, the transmitter on the ground automatically zeroed to their location. The JDAM hit them, not the enemy.
A surprise to see this in my Inbox. Wedged in between other things, I at first didn't know where it came from, as the name "Mike Mihajilovi" was not familiar.
Mike is an engineer, defence technologies specialist, author, historian, analyst, former army officer or so he describes himself. He was an active air defence specialist during the NATO attack on Yugoslavia (on the defending side) and has written several books. I regard him as one of the expert commentators on the NATO/Russia conflict and whole leagues above the trollish idiots who infest the blogosphere.

As per Fighter Bomber's post on this and information noting they are clearly also building a Russian GLSDB for the Tornado-S
"Crests appreciated our new product on the battlefield.
This time it was a prodigy called UMPB D-30SN, which stands for Universal Interspecific Glide Ammunition (in some sources Bomb) with a diameter of 30 cm.
Essentially, this is a gliding bomb, where all the persimmon, and these are control and homing (satellite) units, wings, and a warhead weighing more than a hundred kilograms, are stuffed into a pipe.
Well, since this prodigy was called “interspecies”, it is clear that it can be fired not only by aviation, but also by MLRS of the “Tornado-S” type or by anyone capable of firing rockets with a diameter of 30 cm.
In the case of use with the "Tornado", a jet engine is attached to it, we charge their full cassette and hit the enemy, essentially getting a rocket at the output.
Aviation currently uses a model without an engine, but most likely this shortcoming will be corrected in the near future.
Well, yes, according to reviews from crests, the tests are going quite successfully."
Nice job, very informative.
Thank You Again, Mike.

"British expert" is self-sufficient explanation which is reserved for all kind of charlatans in their media.
There are those in the UK who are real expert and know things but they are not in media and they rarely post anything.
Regarding the precision, CEP is 3 m max which is for 500kg bomb (for example) nothing. .

OOPS!
thanks for another informative post
You are welcome

Well said👍
Explosive analysis. Thanks for the insight.
One interesting point to make is constant improvement in quality of UPMK modules.
With every new video fit and finish seem better and better.
Interesting point of analysis would be if it is possible to add rocket boosters to FAB3000 in particular to extend the range.
But even for smaller ones, a simple booster would likely propel it to +160km - therefore outside of the longest range of Patriot...
Thanks for the Article..
