Russian forces have deployed a powerful ODAB-1500 bomb in Ukraine for the first time, striking the town of Velyka Pysarivka in Sumy Oblast, Russian Bild reported on Telegram on March 30.
Following the ODAB-1500 strike, a smoke cloud billowed to a height of 1 kilometer, reported Bild military analyst Julian Röpcke.
The ODAB, or volumetric detonating aviation bomb, is a relic from the Soviet era. About 10 meters before impact, this bomb releases a combustible liquid in aerosol form, igniting upon contact, resulting in a volumetric explosion. These bombs primarily target enemy soldiers and lightly armored vehicles, delivering devastating blast effects.
ODAB bombs vary in size, with the ODAB-500 covering an effective impact area of up to 300 square meters, while the ODAB-1500 extends to 500 square meters.
The Russians earlier used smaller ODAB bombs, ranging from 170 to 500 kilograms. Röpcke describes the use of a 1.5-ton bomb in a civilian settlement as "a new low in Russia's war against Ukrainian cities."
Ukrainian military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko corroborates the deployment of this projectile. The Russians carried out its first verified usage in Sumy Oblast, he said in a comment to Ukraine's Channel 24.
"The Russians are fully tapping into their arsenal of aviation bombs from the Soviet era," said Kovalenko.
"They can produce them using the old methodology."

These bombs, he said, pose an extreme danger, surpassing even conventional FABs (Soviet-designed general-purpose air-dropped bombs).

Still choking on the Kool-Aid and asking for another sip - nice...
It doesn’t hurt that Ukraine is a breadbasket.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel of their Soviet era supplies.
And is thus a competitor in the world grain market. So as far as grain is concerned, the war can be considered a hostile takeover.
You are a clown
Putin has been eliminating plenty of the western Uke Bandera disciples, whose fathers and grandfathers formed their own SS unit and fought for Hitler
Putin is elminating the haters of all stripes and we are moving towards a more peaceful world

It’s Easter, your mind needs a break from Globalists/Communist propaganda.
Try going outside and enjoy all the wonders that God created.
Then, maybe, you will wake up
But, what I don’t believe is that God raised Russia up from the ashes of its Soviet past only for Russia to return to its old ways and be evil all over again, but here we are.
I have read the promises and the warning in the True Life In God messages for Russia.
The promises appear to have come true, but now, with Russia’s invasion of and war against its neighbor Ukraine, I have to wonder what comes next for Russia and for the rest of us, too.
I am a reader, Steven, which you apparently are not.

Wise usage…..they now have tens of thousands of the US equivalent JDAM, which the US has a very limited supply,AND they did it for peanuts. Senile Joe just gave a huge quantity to Israel last week, further depleting our stores.
“The US in recent days authorized the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel, according to two sources familiar with the effort, Reuters reported on Friday. This is despite Washington’s public expresses of concerns about an anticipated Israeli military offensive in Rafah.
“The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, said the sources, who confirmed a report in the Washington Post. Washington gives $3.8 billion US dollars in annual military assistance to Israel, its longtime ally….”

Last defense report stated the US has MAYBE a weeks supply for a full scale peer conflict.
That said, it was announced Vlad has 30,000 volunteers a month joining their military. He is way, way ahead if/ when a war breaks out with the collective West. Let’s see how many kids in the US will volunteer to die for Senile Joe’s war….
Seems Vlad still holds all the cards.

I know that I am a reader, what are you
Comic books?
Try James Heiser's "The American Empire Should Be Destroyed", summarizing the career and writings of "Putin's Brain", Aleksandr Dugin. Dugin's "philosophy" is a mashup of occult religion, paganism, National Socialism, Russian Orthodoxy, Bolshevism, antisemitism, and Heaven knows what-all else. In the USA he'd be considered a hateful nut, but in Russia he co-authors books with army generals and was appointed as a special advisor to the Duma. Do read it. Carefully.
You can stop, you know. No-one will hold it against you.
