“KABs are one of the biggest fears,” wrote Ukrainian soldier Olexandr Solon'ko. “The Russians use them extensively.”
Chernihiv city lies 25 miles south of the Russian border. It just so happens that a 3,300-pound UPAB-1500—at least a ton of which is warhead—should travel 25 miles or farther if the launching plane releases it at 40,000 feet or higher.
“The aerial reconnaissance ... system [with] Orlan-Zala-Supercam [drones] is effective and causing issues,” Solon'ko wrote. “They identify targets and launch Lancets, releasing them in swarms along with KABs.” Russian forces’ aerial advantage over Ukrainian forces—more and better manned warplanes and a growing fleet of small drones including the explosive Lancets—means Ukrainian positions are under constant surveillance, according to Solon'ko.
