Russia’s three-ton FAB-3000 bombs powerful enough to saturate 11 football fields with explosion
“FAB-3000 bombs have an explosive charge of about one and a half tons,” Russian defense conglomerate Rostec has told Sputnik. “In terms of territory, such a bomb, in the absence of significant obstacles to the damaging factors of the explosion, can cover 11 football fields.”
Developed during the Soviet period and fitted with dumb-to-smart bomb ‘Universal Planning and Correction Modules’, the FAB series of heavy air-dropped bombs (FAB is the Russian acronym for ‘High-Explosive Aviation Bomb’) are designed to target everything from troop and vehicle concentrations to bunkers, underground structures, airfields and fortified industrial areas.
The weapons proved highly effective earlier this year during the Russian military’s push to punch through heavily fortified Ukrainian defenses in the Donbass.
