The Armed Forces of Russia are delivering destructive blows against the Ukrainian Armed Forces using guided aviation bombs, writes Business Insider.

“After them what remains is a crater of such dimensions that you could bury a tank or several cars inside,” the publication quotes a UAF fighter as saying.

IA Regnum reported that at the start of October the Ukrainian army bore the heaviest losses of its command groups for the whole period of the Special Operation during a Russian Aerospace Forces blow against the headquarters of a tactical group called “Soledar” in Aleksandro-Kalinovo.

Space based intelligence gathering helped to locate the headquarters and the strike itself was assisted by the high power FAB-1500 aviation bombs that recently appeared among the armaments of Russian forces.
