The Russian occupiers modified the Grom-E1 bomb, with a total weight of around 600 kg, which can fly up to 120 km after being dropped from an aircraft.
What we know
Russia has developed a modified Grom-E1 bomb weighing around 600 kg and equipped with a rocket engine to increase its range.
After being dropped from an aircraft, this bomb can fly up to 120 km, allowing the Russian army to strike at a greater distance, reducing the risks for aircraft close to the front.
According to The Telegraph, Russia has used guided bombs for a long time, but these always had to fly at dangerous distances to hit their targets, so the new modification is designed to minimize these risks.
In February and March, Russian Grom-E1 guided bombs hit a school and a residential building in Myrnohrad and Kherson, respectively, and in August one of these bombs exploded in Kharkiv.

Just recently, on October 29, a Grom-E1 struck a medical facility in Kharkiv and hit the Derzhprom building, an architectural monument of global significance.
The publication suggests that Russia has increased the use of Grom-E1s in the face of the threat of F-16 fighters, which can intercept Russian aircraft at a distance of up to 65 km. While Ukrainians can console themselves with the thought that Russia’s stock of Grom-E1s may be limited, the Telegraph notes that while the Grom-E1s are not yet in working order, they are not yet in working order. working condition.
The Telegraph notes that while the Kremlin has accelerated mass production of unpowered guided bombs (i.e. KABs), a similar increase in engine production for the Grom-E1 remains on hold, as they are significantly more expensive than KABs.
