Each KAB packs hundreds of pounds of explosives—enough to dig a crater dozens of feet deep. “All buildings and structures simply turn into a pit arrival of just one KAB

Damage from a Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Kushchyovskaya air base is visible in new high resolution satellite imagery.

KAB is a “miracle weapon” for the Russians, Ukrainian analysis group Deep State noted. And have “practically no countermeasures.” Except, perhaps, to blow up the sheds where the Russians store these bombs b4 loading them four apiece onto their Su-34s.

Unclear exactly which drones Ukrainians flung at their air vase Kushchyovskaya. They’ve options, including ex-Soviet drones with warheads in place with cameras, modified drones pack w/ TNT & pilotless sport planes with bombs under their bellies.
Whichever drones struck Kushchyovskaya, they did in huge numbers, weekend attack was one of biggest on Russia’s 27-mth wider war. Kremlin claimed its troops shot down 66 drones, “illustrating scale of the raid,” the ministry in London noted.

Russians didn’t shoot down every drone, At least one struck likely main target of the raid: shed full of KABs. In destroying potentially scores of glide bombs, Ukrainian operators has given their comrades on front line a short reprieve—a day one two—from the Russian glide-bombing campaign.

It will take many more raids on many more bases to significantly constrain the bombings over the long term, however. And it’s an open question whether planners in Kyiv will add the KAB infrastructure to the list of repeat targets for Ukraine’s strike drones. Those same drones are already targeting Russian oil refineries and weapons factories
