Russian UMPB found crashed in Ukraine
UMPB (Ru: УМПБ), also referred to as the D-30SN (Д-30СН), is an air-dropped, winged, guided munition
Reported to carry FAB-250 series bombs, however this believed to be incorrect, and the UMPB instead carries an intrinsic 250 kg warhead
The unit reportedly is similar to the GROM-1 and reportedly contains;
A guidance unit with inertial and GNSS guidance
A winged control section
A tail section with ailerons and rudders
A turbojet and fuel tank
A 250 kg warhead
This design has a greater range than glide bombs, but less than cruise missiles
It is likely cheaper to produce than complex cruise missiles
It reportedly features a ‘Comet’ (Ru: Комета) 8-beam antenna which is stated to have a high resistance to electronic warfare (EW) as it can simultaneously neutralise 7 interference sources.
