@instructionsandgoforit Three, because it's not size alone, it needs the ports to carry them. It can carry one in the mid and one at each wing.

Don't look up FOAB.

@Alehinn Your problem is, that you would have to put your anti air very close to the frontline to hit such bombers and guess what will happen to your anti air there in range of all the missiles, artillery and drones.

@FactCheckerGuy Kid, those glide kits can be produces by the tenthousands without any problem.

I mean, a Russian jet can carry three FAB 3000. So obviously their radar cross section is far smaller than the jet by that alone. And, well, "slow" - it's free fall... wouldn't call that slow.

@_aponak4716 You do get, that even if you just accept that value, that's still cheap when it comes to military stuff.

@dhanu_4539 Check out FOAB. 44t equivalent thermobaric.

@watDfacts No, a FOAB is FAAAAAR worse. The number of the FAB is the whole weight of the bomb, and only around half of it is explosivs, so it explodes with around 1,5t of TNT equivalent. By the weight a FOAB would be a FAB-7000. But it explodes with the TNT equivalent of 44(fourtyfour)tons of TNT. And you can't hide from that at all, because it creates a massive subpressure area what destroys your lungs...

@NebojšaDragosavac Actually a MOAB only weights 7t - and got a 44t TNT equivalent detonation. A MOAB got 11t just for comperisson.
