(Zero Hedge)—A new weapon (outfitted using old weapons) has been used increasingly by Russia in the past two months and it’s proving to be highly effective as the Russian forces in Ukraine ramp up what looks to be the beginning of a long anticipated summer offensive. Dubbed the “glide bomb,” they are actually Soviet era FAB bombs retrofitted with glide technology and rudimentary laser/GPS guidance. The FABs can weigh up to 6600 pounds and have a deadly shrapnel radius of at least 200 yards.
The glide bombs are launched from Russian air assets well away from Ukrainian anti-aircraft positions and the weapons “glide” up to 40 miles to front line targets with relative precision. The cost of retrofitting FAB bombs is far cheaper than building modern laser guided weapons like ATACMS. The bombs give Russia the ability to provide air support to offensive troops without putting aircraft in the way of NATO missiles. Meaning, they are the perfect weapon to enable a new Russian offensive action. European tacticians are calling the glide bombs “wonder weapons.”

There are reports that the newest version of the glide bomb called the ‘FAB 3000’ is already being used at the front. The bombs are so large they do not require a direct hit on target in order to do extensive damage.

It is illegal for Ukrainians to post video footage on social media of damage caused by Russian strikes unless it is approved by the government first. However, there is enough evidence of damage caused by FABs to prove they are being used in great numbers in cities like Kharkiv. The Ukrainian media admitted on June 23rd that at least 35 glide bombs hit Kharkiv in a single day, perhaps softening up the area for a future offensive push.
The uptick in the use of these weapons has coincided with increased Russian activity in the east at dozens of points along the front, indicating that a larger scale offensive action has begun. As long as their forces remain within a range protected by glide bombs and artillery the Ukrainians are at a distinct disadvantage.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Like most wars this is turning out to be a most insane war that could have been prevented by more diplomacy and the damage and lives hurt and lost that would be done. We should make the military industrial complexes and the LNG distributors of all the nations involved in this conflict reinvest their war profits in the rebuilding. Maybe it would stop some future wars that would be decided by greed and egos.
