Quote: “UMPB is a high-precision guided air-launched munition (a guided glide aerial bomb) with an integrated warhead in the fuselage equivalent to the FAB-250 aerial bomb. The internal modules and units of the UMPB are similar to those used in UMPK modules, including the autopilot module — S.M.A.R.T.”

Details: Defence Intelligence of Ukraine explained that carriers of the D-30SN aerial bomb can include Su-34, Su-30SM, Su-35 and Su-24 aircraft and the S-70 Okhotnik (“Hunter”) UAV. The employment range is up to 100 km (when used from an altitude of 12–15 km).

Early reports indicate that UMPBs can also be launched from ground-based platforms – 300 mm Tornado-S multiple-launch rocket systems using a booster motor.

“To operate under conditions of electronic warfare, the UMPB’s navigation system includes the satellite navigation system with an adaptive antenna array (CRPA) – Kometa-M8, familiar from other products,” the intelligence specified.

They emphasised that the patent holder and main organiser of UMPB production is the Russian corporation Tactical Missile Armament, with the principal manufacturer being a company within the Concern Granit-Electron JSC.

Ukraine’s military intelligence stressed that the dozens of companies involved in producing the UMPB D-30SN have long been known for their ties to the Russian defence industrial base and are already under sanctions by most countries of the sanctions coalition.

“However, some manufacturers and suppliers of components for the Russian aerial bomb have so far remained outside the focus of sanctions policy and therefore continue to have access to foreign components, equipment and technologies,” the intelligence stated.

Background:

Defence Intelligence of Ukraine recently revealed the innards of a Russian rocket-accelerated drone that reaches speeds of up to 370 km/h.Earlier, Ukrainian intelligence also disclosed more than 100 foreign components found in Russian drones and missiles.
