Adjustable The aerial bomb (AAB) is an innovative weapon that has changed the approach to combat operations in recent years.
This is reported by URA-Inform.
Although the KAB is not a purely ballistic weapon, it has high accuracy due to the use of satellite and laser guidance systems. These bombs allow key targets to be hit with minimal civilian casualties and with high efficiency in difficult combat conditions.
The main task of the KAB is to destroy strategically important enemy targets, including command posts, ammunition depots and transport hubs. The high accuracy of such bombs is achieved thanks to modern guidance technologies, which provide an error of up to several meters.
This makes them particularly effective in urban warfare, where conventional weapons can cause significant destruction and civilian casualties.
The use of precision-guided bombs has significantly influenced the outcome of modern conflicts, including the war in Ukraine. Their use has increased the accuracy of strikes and minimized casualties. For example, in recent operations, precision-guided bombs were used to destroy high-value targets, which changed the dynamics of combat in favor of their owners.
In addition, precision-guided bombs have become an important element of psychological influence. The knowledge that the enemy has such high-precision weapons demoralizes the enemy and reduces its ability to organize defense. However, the widespread use of precision-guided bombs also requires significant financial and technological resources, which makes them available only to countries with a developed defense industry.
Thus, precision-guided bombs have become an integral part of modern warfare. Their effectiveness continues to change the balance of power on the battlefield, making war more technologically dependent. This confirms the need to modernize the armed forces and introduce new technologies in order to maintain competitiveness at the global level.
What is noteworthy is that using KABs and other modern equipment, the Ukrainian Armed Forces set a world record in the war.
