Russian Glide Bombs Vs American JDAM | How it Works

#ukraine #usarmy #russia

In this video, we will take a look at two glide bombs: the Soviet-era FAB 500 and the American-made JDAM smart bombs.

One of the major differences is that the American weapons when attached with a guidance tail kit converts the unguided Bomb, such as the Mark 82, into "smart" munitions weapon.

In contrast, the FAB 500, requires a guidance kit that can open its wings and fly to its target using the GLONASS, Russian guidance system.
The upgraded Fab 500 glide weapon costs around $24,000, while the J dam, costs approximately $36,000.

We’ll also take a look a look at the basic step-by-step process of the Fab 500 glide bomb works not to forget the operation of JDAMER all in the video ahead.

Those guided FABs cost even less since there are millions of stockpiles left from 40-70 years ago, only slight refurbishment is necessary and mounting of UMPK kit and it is good to go, that is why are used so much even for small costly target as trench positons. And one more thing, there are many variants of each weight of type of bomb like ОДАБ (fuel air/thermobaric most deadly against living targets and multiple times more deadly than TNT), ЗАБ (incendiary), ФЗАБ (High explosive incendiary) and many different types, soviet engineering ain't just shovels and rocks like many people in west think, and all of these types can be used easily wth each UMPK kit as necessary, with low price.

They have also added rocket booster to the fab 500 which drastically increases its range

[reynardus]

You're completely off the mark on the guided FAB-500 cost. The conversion kit costs about 300, 000 rubles - at the current conversion rate that comes to about $3500. Russia has 10's of thousands of these bombs in storage. Your figure comes from the BBC contributor Professor Bronk of the Royal United Services Institute, a UK think tank. And he cites no source other than his pants. He's simply trying to justify the cost charged by his handlers for the comparable domestic munition.

UMPK might look rough, but resembled typical Russian methodology: simple to manufacture & maintenance, cheap to mass produce, useful it's good enough.

[mlpwrhn]

Main feature of УМПК (unificate module of flying and aiming) is connected to any old bomb by simple metal bends, and make scrap from old storage in deadly modern weapon. And here in Russia, we have crazy amount of old bombs of different kind.

[pepitopalotes]

The cost comparison is much more in favor of the FAB as the Russians have huge stocks of dumb bombs, so basically the incremental cost of an additonal FAB is the guidance kit. In this case, incremental cost (the cost of making one more unit) is more useful than the total full cost.

[asterklaster]

FAB500 est price 300k RUB or 3200$ + 50% price of Guidance kit. about 5000$ for bomb not 25 000

[xfxox]

$24k is nonsense, the bomb itself costs $3k and wing kit is $1.5k, totalling $4.5k

[MDHUSKY]

I bet that US bomb cost 20x times more than Z's

[borismedovar]

0:02 fun fact : jdam is a soviet era weapon too.

[Gumirishche]

Было бы интересно увидеть видео про объёмно детонирующие боеприпасы(ОДАБ или ракеты к ТОС). Само видео очень интересное. Хотелось бы добавить, что система УМПК ставится и на другие виды авиационных бомб таких как: РБК - разовая бомбовая касета(кассетная бомба), ОДАБ - объёмно детонирующая авиационная бомба(термобарическая бомба). Также видел материалы, где к бомбам с УМПК приделывают разгонные двигатели для увеличения дальности полёта.

1:12 FAB is not only Highly Explosive
in russian: Фугасная Авиа Бомба - Highly Explosive Aircraft Bomb

[global_east]

No, according to the Collective West leaders, its da Russian shovel not a glide bomb.

[muhcharona]

Jdam is being jammed so there's that.

[ivanstepanovic]

GLONASS is nearly impossible to jam. So even if we take it for granted that GPS is more accurate, it means little if you are jammed. And a lot of Ukrainians (and Russians) claimed that JDAMs miss most of the time...

Эльфам нравится, эльфы не возражают))) особенно ФАБ 1500

[TheGrindcorps]

UMPK FAB combo is far superior. They have superior range and more types of bomb options to mix and match. They are mass producing UMPK for up to FAB 3000 and are even working to get FAB 5000 UMPK rolling out soon.

In addition it is compatible with all the thermobaric equivalents of FAB series such as ODAB 1500 and more.

[Itoyokofan]

What really stunned me about UMPK is that the wings doesn't have a fancy mechanism to unfold. Rather they're held with a pyrobolt and unfold with a spring. Looked like egineering with 100% 🧠 to me 😂

[chelazar]

I heard that Russian Electronic warfare works very well against jdams

In your animation, the wings of the UMPK guidance kit are in an incorrect orientation when deployed. The rounded part of the airfoil should be at the front, and the sharp edge should be at the back of the wing.
